How deep sea mining works in 3D

The video tutorial explains the process of seabed mining, where companies seek licenses to extract minerals like copper and gold from the ocean floor. Remotely-operated vehicles are deployed to the seabed to install sonobuoys and guide mining machines. These machines, including a bulk cutter, auxiliary cutter, and collecting machine, are lowered to the seabed to extract and process minerals. The machines send data back to operators, and the collected slurry is pumped to the surface for further processing and transport to shore for refining.

Explain how the machines are tracked during the mining operation.

How is the rock slurry processed once it reaches the ship?
