The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The main ores of commercial interest are polymetallic nodules, which are found at depths of 4–6 km primarily on the abyssal plain.
- The Clarion–Clipperton zone alone contains over 21 billion metric tons of these nodules, with minerals such as copper, nickel, cobalt and manganese making up roughly 30% of their weight.
- It is estimated that the global ocean floor holds more than 120 million tons of cobalt, five times the amount found in terrestrial reserves.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Deep sea mining article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 91 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
