Papua New Guinea has issued a notice of arbitration against Nautilus Minerals Inc. and Nautilus Minerals Niugini Ltd. over a dispute under their 2011 state equity option agreement.
Nautilus Minerals Inc. held its 2012 annual general meeting in Toronto, where 69.5 per cent of issued shares were represented and all resolutions passed.
Nautilus Minerals is in a dispute with Papua New Guinea over completion of their March 29, 2011 agreement and has begun the pact's dispute resolution process.
Nautilus Minerals says a change in partner Harren & Partner's equity commitment could delay financing and construction of the Solwara 1 production support vessel.
