http://www.nautilusminerals.com/s/Media-NewsReleases.asp?ReportID=476612 
 
The private placement has been made to provide funds for the construction of Nautilus Minerals' seafloor 
resource production system, which initially will be deployed at the company's first deepwater copper and gold 
project at Solwara 1, in the Bismarck Sea of Papua New Guinea. 
 
As a result of the successful capital raising, Nautilus has today reinstated the Engineering, Procurement, 
Construction and Management (EPCM) contract for the supply of the Riser and Lifting System (RALS) for the 
project. The RALS will transport mineralized material from the seafloor to a production support vessel 
approximately 1600 metres above. The EPCM contract, which includes the procurement of RALS components, has a 
target cost of US$115 million. The contract is with world leading oil and gas technology company Technip USA 
Inc. It is the final contract to be reinstated following the partial suspension of the Solwara 1 project in 
December 2008.
