Nautilus CEO misleading the world on experimental seabed mining process and impacts

Nautilus Minerals CEO Mike Johnston finds it very hard to tell the truth when speaking about his company’s experimental seabed mining plans. In his latest interview (below) there are at least three glaring mistruths:

1. The Solwara 1 project … ‘doesn’t have waste”. Not only is this not true, it is a ludicrous statement. Of course there will be waste. Waste is commonly defined as “unused or unwanted material” – so for starters there will be all the millions of tonnes of seawater that will be pumped to the surface as part of the slurry and then piped back down to the seafloor! Then what about the waste that is going to be created by a 227m long, 40 wide mining support vessel and the 180 people who live on board? Or the 350 tonne robotic machines that will carve up the seabed? Or all the huge plumes of sand, ash and silt that will be created by the open cut strip mining operations on the seafloor. That is a hell of a lot of waste!
