Certain of the statements made in this news release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning 
of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and forward-looking information within the meaning of 
applicable Canadian securities law. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are 
not limited to statements or information with respect to the commencement of production at Solwara 1. We have 
made numerous assumptions about the material forward-looking statements and information contained herein, 
including among other things, that the approved project budget is an accurate estimate of the funding necessary 
to take the project into production, the Company's continued compliance with regulatory requirements, a 
continued productive relationship with the government of PNG and the good faith performance of the obligations 
of counterparties pursuant to contracts with the Company. Even though our management believes that the 
assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can 
be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking 
statements and information by their nature involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors 
which may cause the actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by 
such forward-looking statements or information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among 
others, the risk that the project budget is not an accurate estimate of funding required, the private placement 
is not successfully concluded by some or all parties or that Petromin does not make its contribution. Should 
one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove 
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements and 
information. Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual results to differ 
materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information, there may be other factors that 
cause actual results, performances, achievements or events to not be as anticipated, estimated or intended. 
Also, many of the factors are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or 
information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those 
anticipated in such statements. Accordingly you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements 
or information. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and 
information as conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of Nautilus's business contained 
in Nautilus's reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada.
