The expected growing consumption of color metal together with carbon emission restriction turns the eye to less frequent concept of metals production. Albeit the exploration of deep-sea nodules is not a new concept, we tried to find the way avoiding the high energy consumption for particular elements separation - reduce the ore in a single step without any separation process. Here the deep-sea nodules from Clarion-Clipperton franture zone (CCZ) in the Pacific Ocean are used. Obtained alloy can be then used as the additive for aluminum alloys.
