| Today, deep-ocean mining is done only
by the oil and gas industry. Yet the dream of mining the mineral wealth of the
deep has never gone away. Now two firms hope to succeed where others have
failed. Nautilus Minerals, based in Vancouver, is the more advanced of the pair. It has an exploratory licence from Papua New Guinea and has already begun drilling operations 1,600 metres below sea level off the east coast of the country. Another company, Neptune Minerals, based in London and Sydney, has completed test drilling in the deep waters near New Zealand. Nautilus’s deep-water exploration relies on a modified deep-sea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) of the kind normally used in the oil anti telecom industries. It has a manipulator hand containing drilling and cutting tools that allow the robot to retrieve samples of rock from the ocean bed. So fa A. No mineral companies have succeeded in deep-sea mining. B. Oil and gas have been regarded as the most useful deep-sea wealth. C. Only oil and gas industry has been interested in deep-sea mining. D. The deep-sea mineral wealth has recently become the dream of miners. [单项选择]Today, deep-ocean mining is done only by the oil and gas industry.
