Impossible Metals was co-founded by Oliver Gunasekara, an entrepreneur with 30-plus years of experience, and Jason Gillham, a subsea technology entrepreneur with 18 years of experience in the subsea robotics industry. The company is developing technology in two key areas: Selective harvesting of marine minerals and mineral processing using bacterial respiration. Impossible Metals is building underwater robotics vehicles which collect polymetallic nodules from the seabed while protecting the seafloor ecosystem. The polymetallic nodules are rocks that are rich in critical battery metals, such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are the most expensive parts of electric vehicles.
Meetings
Meetings are the first Thursday of every month, starting at 10:00 am. They are held at The Royal Canadian Legion, 490 Ontario Street, Collingwood.
