Stat Blong Toktok (Introduction) 1.1 Solwara 1 Projek na Husat laik Kirapim Wok (Solwara 1 Proponent) Limited (Nautilus) i wok long go het long wanpela proposal long developim Solwara 1 Projek. Dispela developmen i kamaotim ol hae greid mineral olsem copper, gold, zinc na silver oli kolim Seafloor Massive Sulphide (SMS) deposit istap klostu long 1,600 m ananit long solwara blong Bismark Sea, long New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG), stap olsem 50 km North long Rabaul taon (Figure ES01). Nautilus em pikinini kampani blong Nautilus Minerals Inc., em wanpela igat naem long Toronto Stock Exchange na London (AIM) stock Exchange. Tripela bikpela mining kampani igat sea long Nautilus. Neim blong ol em Anglo American (5.7), Teck Cominco (7.2), na Epion Holdings (22.4). Insait long PNG, Nautilus holim exploration laisens long Bismark Sea na Solomon Sea. Kampani igat 51 exploreisin laisens pinis, karamapim eria olsem 107,917 km na 37 exploreisin laisens aplikeisin karamapin 88,906 km. Long ol narapela kantri, Nautilus holim laisens na eksploreisin laisens long Tonga, Solomon Islands na igat aplikeisin tu wait istap long Fiji na New Zealand. I tru olsem ol eksploreisin laisens iluk olsem oli karamapim traepela ol eria long sifloa. Tasol taem mining ikamap bai karamapim lik lik eria tasol.

Strongpela lukluk bai stap long kamautim copper na gold iusim ol wei we bai gutpela long soisol developmen, bai ilukautim envaironmen, na we strong blong teknologi iken kamapim gutpela wok. Dispela projek bai iusim risos blong PNG olsem polisi na lo blong kantri itok. Sifloa mining em ken gutpela long PNG. Em bai kamapim niupela risos long inkam na reviniu bikos em iusim risos insaet long Solwara we bipo dispela ibin stap nating na ino mekim kamap wanpela developmen. Dispela projek bai bringim benefit olsem mineral royalties na salem expot bai bringim inkam moni insaet long kantri. Tu bai igat sampela opotuniti blong ol man meri iken kisim liklik wok, long Phase 1 blong dispela projek. Dispela wok bai inonap long bigpela tumas. Tasol dispela wok blong mining long dip si bai kamapim wanpela niupela industry. Ol dispela benefit bai kirapim developmen long PNG long long pela taem bihaen.
