Zitat:"Commissioning of the Auxiliary Cutter, Bulk Cutter and Collecting Machine continued at Soil Machine Dynamics premises in Newcastle, England with delivery of the three machines, following factory acceptance testing expected by the end of Q4 2015.
GE Hydril has commenced assembly of the Subsea Slurry Lift Pump in preparation for factory acceptance testing in the first half of 2016.
The Company has re-entered into a contract with Sichuan Hong Hu a Petroleum Ltd to fabricate the riser handling equipment. Completion of this contract is sc
heduled for the end of Q3 2016 whereupon the equipment will be delivered to the shipyard for integration into the shipbuilding program. The Company has also re-engaged with SPX Clyde Union to complete delivery of seawater pumping systems, a contract that was also previously suspended during the dispute with
the State. This equipment will be delivered to the shipyard in Q2 2016 where it will be incorporated into the shipbuilding program.
The 43 day MV Duke 2015 cruise to the 100% owned exploration li
censes in the Solomon
Islands was completed during the quarter. Amongst its achieveme
nts were the discoveries of two natural hydrothermal plumes which are a high priority for further work to assess their mineralisation potential. Approximately 550 line km of Tow-Yo plume hunting and approximately 31,000km2 of state-of-the-art multibeam bathymetry/backscatter mapping
were completed. This resulted in 68 prospective targets being consid
ered for the next stage of exploration. ....... " ENDE Zitat
