Abstract
Nautilus Minerals is the world leader in exploration and development of ocean seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) resources. The company is currently focused on exploration for new SMS resources in the South Western Pacific and its first development project, to recover high grade copper, gold and silver mineralisation from the Solwara 1 site in the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea.
