AUDITORIUM
The “Gold Rush” of the future
may be dredging for offshore min
eral deposits.
Many representatives of this in
dustry are at Texas A&M University
this week for the Fifth Dredging
Engineering Short Course con
ducted by the Texas A&M’s Center
for Dredging Studies.
International participants, from as
far away as Australia, are on hand for
the meetings which will continue
through Friday.
“There has been an increased
interest recently in ocean mining as
land supplies of several minerals are
being depleted,” said Dr. John
Herbich, head of the Center. “As a
result, it is increasingly necessary
that we develop the ability to locate
and exploit marine mineral re
sources .
“The most likely candidates for
early exploration are shallow water
deposits and as technology im
proves, deep-ocean mining will be
come a reality,” he said. “Pilot
studies were conducted in 1970 and
are supposedly taking place in the
Pacific Ocean at the present time. ”
Looking For Something Different?
Materials that can be mined
the shallow waters of the ContinJ
tal Shelf are sand gravel, sj
phosphorites, phosphates, sura
metals and other minerals sucU
tin, gold, zinc, copper, cobalt,m
platinum. Deep ocean targetswoi
he nodules containing nickel, cm
per, cobalt and manganese, i
The most promising depositsf
manganese modules are in their*
ture zone between Hawaii and Biji
Calif., but because of the grej
water depths and distances frot
land, lack of knowledge i
environmental impacts, and 1^
and political problems, only a la
people have been active in theSel
of deep-ocean mining.
However, industry represent!

now calling for a number of ofcje
