Nautilus Minerals, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, was the frontrunner in the race to begin deep-sea mining. The company secured a mining lease and environmental permit from the government of Papua New Guinea in January 2011 to operate in the country’s territorial waters.
The Solwara 1 project is located in the Bismarck Sea, off the New Ireland province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The lease covers an area of approximately 59km2, and the company planned to extract high-grade seafloor massive sulphide systems, which contain copper and gold, at a depth of approximately 1,600m.
However, Nautilus terminated the construction of its Seafloor Production System in November 2012 due to a dispute with the government of PNG. On February 13 this year, Nautilus announced that it had terminated its agreement with the state and was seeking damages, claiming that the PNG government was in breach of an agreement to buy a 30% interest in the project.
In a conference call following this announcement, Michael Johnston, president of Nautilus, said that the company still plans to develop the Solwara 1 project. However, he also stated that the PNG government has forfeited its right to participate in the project, along with any equipment, intellectual property and licences.
In addition, he said that Nautilus will still move forward with shipbuilding plans, and expects to select a shipbuilder by the December quarter of 2014.
In addition to the Solwara 1 project, Nautilus holds more than 500,000km2of exploration territory in Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, New Zealand and the central Pacific.

Nautilus Minerals Inc. and Papua New Guinea have today signed an agreement, enabling the Solwara 1 project to move forward toward production
with the full support of the state.
"The company is now focusing its attention on securing a suitable vessel arrangement and is continuing its discussions with potential vessel partners while also undertaking a tender process with shipyards experienced in building offshore construction vessels. The company intends to have a vessel solution in place before the end of the year," he added.
Mr. Johnston continues to have the support of the board of directors of Nautilus, with his interim role as president and chief executive officer having now been made permanent.
Investor update
The company will hold an investor update on Tuesday, April 29, 2014, at 10 a.m.
