Nautilus Minerals Inc. announced that is has successfully completed the submerged trials for its Seafloor Production Tools in Papua New Guinea. Completing the trials in PNG allowed Nautilus to work closely with its partner Petromin, government officers from the various government regulatory agencies, as well as representatives from Provincial Governments of New Ireland and East New Britain. It also gave community leaders from coastal villages geographically closest to the Solwara 1 site the opportunity to witness the trials of the equipment, and allowed the company to accrue the economic benefits of the testing activity within PNG. The equipment is currently being prepared for shipment to China where it will be integrated onto the vessel.
