the concept isnt new, sea floor mining has been done for 20 years by Debeers off of Africa, but in waters only 250m deep. The Metals Co wants to mine the abyssal shelves, and even deeper points, multiple km deep, which is a whole other ball park for the tech that hasnt been tested. Every other company thats tried this has gone down in flames. If the Metals Co does manage to make their tech work, they are facing lots of new regulatory hurdles coming from governments not wanting their seas strip mined.

how do they plan to actually mine the sea floor? Pic related went to Debeers from the last deep sea mining failure this fall.
