Nautilus Minerals Inc. (TSX:NUS)(AIM:NUS) (the "Company" or "Nautilus")
announces that the Government of Papua New Guinea ("PNG") has registered the
receipt of Nautilus' Mining Lease ("ML") application over Solwara 1
(http://www.nautilusminerals.com/i/misc/PNG_Bismarck_Solwara1%20MLOct08.jpg).


A Development Proposal, which details the planned development of the Company's
Solwara 1 Project, was lodged simultaneously with the Mining Lease application
and accepted by Mr Kepis Wali, Managing Director of the Minerals Resources
Authority (MRA) on behalf of the Government of PNG.


Stephen Rogers, Nautilus' CEO, commented: "Lodging of this ML application is a
key milestone for the Solwara 1 Project and a historic event in the infancy of
the seafloor mining industry. This formally commences the permitting process for
the development of the Solwara 1 Project as governed by PNG's Mining and
Environment Acts, which clearly outlines compliance standards and the review
process that is required for the development to proceed. We look forward to
working with the PNG government over the coming months to secure this milestone
approval."
