I would counter it by saying......In all the time that Sumitomo have been (supposedly), mining in the Solomon's, how much of that royalty have the landowners seen!?
LOL, as the intelligent and knowledgable person I know you to be you could rebut my question by saying ......How much have Axiom paid?
That would be a fair question mate but, then I would say......And who's fault is that?
I honestly believe Sumitomo have upset too many people to gain anymore tenements on a fair playing field. I could be wrong but for both our sakes I hope I'm not mate!
