Researchers at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated the rapid growth over just two years of mineral deposits containing a large quantity of valuable metals at artificial seafloor hydrothermal vents in the Okinawa Trough. This result suggests the possibility of creating artificial mineral deposits by seafloor drilling. Japan has the sixth-largest E
