Marine mining pioneer Nautilus Minerals has this week reported an upgraded and improved mineral resource at its Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ) project in the Central Pacific, which it held through its 100%-owned subsidiary Tonga Offshore Mining (TOML).
Toronto-based Nautilus advised Thursday that the CCZ project’s compliant inferred mineral resource base increased from 410-million tonnes to 685-million tonnes (wet), while about 68-million tonnes were upgraded into the indicated category and 2.6-million tonnes into the measured category.
