Nautilus Confirms High Grades in Phase One of 2009 Tongan Exploration

Nautilus Minerals Inc. (TSX:NUS)(AIM:NUS) (the "Company" or "Nautilus") announces that it has received high grade copper, gold, zinc and silver assays with highest assay results in respect of each element across all the samples tested of 12.6% Cu, 34.0 g/t Au, 60.9% Zn and 185 g/t Ag. The assay results relate to the samples taken during the first phase of its 2009 target generation program in Tonga, on 100% owned Nautilus prospecting licences (see Figures 1 and 2). The second phase of the Tongan program is currently underway.

Stephen Rogers, Nautilus' CEO, commented: "We are excited about the high grades of these assay results. In particular, the very high gold and silver grades are impressive. The delineation of more "precious metal" rich, high grade Seafloor Massive Sulphide ("SMS") systems further highlights the prospectivity of our large tenement package in Tonga.
