The metallic minerals of the Pacific Seafloor SpringerLink
The metallic minerals existing on the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean display a great range of variations in their chemical and physical properties. These deposits are considered as an important source of raw material because of their contents of Ni, Cu, Co, and Mn. The two dominant types of deposits are ferromanganese encrustations and nodules. The nodules, being more important with regard to ...

2019-2-18 These metal-containing deposits are located around mid-ocean ridges where the sea floor is, or was, volcanically active. Mineral-rich superhot water from underlying magma meets cold deep seawater and forms a crust on the seafloor at a depth that is often richer in minerals, particularly copper, than can be found in land deposits.

Seafloor Massive Sulfides — Mineral Resources Tectonics
Seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits, also known as hydrothermal ore deposits or black smoker vents, form when a magmatic heat source drives the circulation of seawater through the ocean crust, where it leaches metals from the rocks. Metals may also be contributed by magmatic fluids that are degassing from the underlying magma chamber.
