Soll ich mich bewerben und uns einen schönen Gewinn bereiten?  

Nautilus looking for a new spin doctor to spruce up its tarnished image

Under fire prospective seabed mining company Nautilus Minerals is advertising for a “Corporate Social Responsibility Coordinator” to be based in Brisbane Australia.

While Nautilus obviously needs to improve its tattered image and boost its share price – the adverts rather misleadingly fail to mention the overwhelming public and political opposition to their plans in PNG, the cancellation of the construction of their mining vessel or their arbitration dispute with the PNG government – spin doctors beware….


Looking for a challenging career with a world leader in seafloor mineral exploration?

Nautilus Minerals is at the forefront of an exciting new industry. We are the first company in the world to commercially explore the oceans for massive sulphide deposits – a potential source of high grade copper, gold, zinc and silver.

Nautilus was granted the first mining lease for such deposits at the prospect known as Solwara 1, in the territorial waters of Papua New Guinea. The company has also been granted its environmental permit for this site.

This is just the beginning of the journey for Nautilus. With more than 500,000 km2 of exploration tenements in the western Pacific as well as in international waters in the eastern Pacific, we are looking to rapidly grow our operations in the next few years and find the right people to take Nautilus into a new era of mineral production.

We are currently seeking a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Coordinator to join the Nautilus Minerals team in the Milton office. This position will be responsible for administrating the CARES program (see Nautilus CARES website), providing executive support to the VP Corporate Social Responsibility and the health, environment and community team in PNG.

[...]

If you are the sort of person others describe as highly organised, efficient and capable, and you can combine this with a passion for health, environment and community, then this might be the perfect position for you. Apply now or contact recruitment@nautilusminerals.com for further information.

We are paving the way for the deep water seafloor resource production industry. Ask yourself: are you ready to take the plunge?”

NAUTILUS ADOPTS ADVANCE NOTICE POLICY FOR FUTURE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

February 24, 2013 · 6:15 (PNG Mine Watch; raumine.wordpress.com)

Nautilus Mining CEO, Michael Johnston,walks shareholders through the various points of contention between it, the PNG government and the launch of its Solwara 1 mining project.

Kip Keen | Mineweb

Nautilus Minerals has concluded quasi-secret negotiations with project partners over intellectual property rights in the hopes of resolving what has emerged as a major point of contention for the Papua New Guinea government in a broader dispute over the Solwara 1 underwater mining project and the state’s 30 percent equity interest in it.

Speaking in a conference call on Thursday, Michael Johnston, Nautilus president and CEO, said that Nautilus has been willing to provide Papua New Guinea ownership of intellectual property rights. But the problem, as Johnston told it, was that many of the deeds covering proprietary technology and subsea mining methods, which Nautilus and several partners developed over the years, did not contain clauses allowing for a third party, such as the Papua New Guinea government, to come on board as an additional partner and owner of the intellectual property rights.

Thus, Johnston described sensitive negotiations over the past few months in which Nautilus had to go to its partners, “household names” in the dredging business he gave as examples, to convince them to redraw the deeds to allow the Papua New Guinea government to gain direct 30-percent ownership of the intellectual property rights.

Now, Johnston said, Nautilus has redrawn the deeds with its partners and delivered the new terms to the Papua New Guinea government. Johnston said he had hoped to hear back from the government last week on its view of the new deeds, but that Nautilus has yet to be contacted by Papua New Guinea officials.

Nonetheless, Johnston, who said he had just returned from a trip to Papua New Guinea on the morning of the conference call, stated that he has high hopes about an overall resolution to the dispute.

“We had a number of very good meetings with senior politicians and I’m quite confident that we will get resolution to this dispute in the not too distant future.”

Apology to investors



While not a secret, hitherto Nautilus had not publicly explained in any great depth the importance of the intellectual property rights issue to the Papua New Guinea government. Thus, responding to a question from a private investor, Johnston was apologetic in describing why Nautilus had needed, in his view, to be tight-lipped about negotiations with its technology partners.

“It’s always very hard,” Johnston said. “When we’re negotiating with the other third parties involved on the IP (intellectual property) you can imagine it’s very difficult for us having conference calls, update calls like this. If I was to tell people that that particular piece of IP is quite critical to us closing this agreement, you can imagine someone’s ears would prick up.

“I apologize if we’ve come across as being a little secretive, if you like…but it has been commercially difficult for us to be able to tell people exactly what was going on with that IP.

“But now…we believe those deeds are sorted out and we’re now quite open about what those issues were. And, as I said, it goes right back to those design challenges that we had in the very early stages to develop and come up with the best system for seafloor mining. And, unfortunately, during that process we didn’t think at the time we would require another party’s name on the deeds.”

By getting rights to the subsea mining technology, the Papua New Guinea government will be allowed to use the same methods as Nautilus intends to employ at Solwara 1 on its own non-Nautilus projects.

This fact raised the question of whether Papua New Guinea could then go and license the technology to potential competitors (assuming Papua New Guinea consents to the new deeds). 

In response, Johnston said, the terms of the renegotiated deeds required approval from Nautilus and its partners were such a situation to arise. Further, Johnston noted that as part of the redrawn deeds, were the Papua New Guinea government to employ the technology on its own or through an approved partner Nautilus would get royalty payments from any other mining project.



30 percent participating interest



There also remains the issue of an outstanding bill of roughly $80 million that Nautilus maintains the Papua New Guinea government owes it for work on the Solwara 1 project.

Last year, as the dispute between Nautilus and the Papua New Guinea government escalated, the parties initiated a dispute resolution mechanism for arbitration on the matter, with the Papua New Guinea government alleging Nautilus had not met contractual obligations.

Johnston said a hearing date would be made in mid April, at which point there could be final resolution on the outstanding bill – a key reason why Nautilus has put the Solwara project on hold.

While Johnston would not comment on the matter, some participants on the conference call wondered if the resolution on intellectual property rights – not in the bag yet but seemingly closer than ever – might expedite an ultimate solution.

On this Johnston would only say that the arbitration process is “firmly underway in parallel with discussions, without prejudice, with the state.”

Takeover, financing



Meantime, Johnston threw cold water on the takeover and financing proposals made by Ottawa businessmen Michael Bailey in early January that, as covered in these pages, contained numerous discrepancies. (See: Discrepancies, denials in C$238m hostile bid for Nautilus Minerals and “Ottawa businessman shifts tactic from takeover to financing in Nautilus bid.”)

“No formal bid was ever received by Nautilus during this process,” Johnston said. “None of our major shareholders were ever contacted. And then on the 15th of January Mr. Bailey proposed an equity line finance facility. On reviewing those terms it was obvious that they did not comply with TSX or Canadian corporate laws. And the takeover just quietly seems to have gone away.”

But that quiet may soon be broken. Bailey said in an interview Thursday that it was news to him that Nautilus had rejected the financing proposal, which he argued was in the best interest of Nautilus shareholders. He also maintained that, as previously stated in a press release, he intended to go ahead with a takeover, which he has previously claimed is fully funded by unnamed sources, if Nautilus did not agree to the equity line financing for $80 million.



”The whole situation is exactly how it reads in the news,” Bailey said. “If they don’t proceed with the financing then we’re going to proceed with the takeover.”

He then said:

“We’re in discussions with them about the financing.”

Such discussions were not recent according to Nautilus chief financial officer Shontel Norgate. Norgate said in an email on Friday that:

“We have had no communication with Mr. Bailey since mid January.”

We continue to assume a start-up date of Q3/15. This allows approximately 18 months to complete the

With the support of the British government, UK Seabed Resources has secured a licence from the United Nations to explore an area of seabed twice the size of Wales and 4,000m deep.

Under the UN's Convention on the Law of the Sea, mining rights on the ocean floor are controlled by a little-known body, the International Seabed Authority, which since 2001 has issued 13 licences - with another six in prospect.

These licences, valid for 15 years, have been bought for $500,000 each by government organisations, state-owned corporations and private companies from countries including China, India, Russia, Japan and South Korea.
