The funding falls under the previously announced loan agreement between Nautilus, two of its subsidiaries and Deep Sea Mining Finance, which provides for a secured structured credit facility of up to US$34 million.
The loans are being provided to fund the Company's working capital requirements and enable it to continue the advancement of the Solwara 1 Project.
With the assistance of its financial advisors, Nautilus is seeking the remaining project financing of up to approximately US$350 million required to complete the development of the Solwara 1 Project.
