News: AVQ Sumitomo Metal Mining exits Solomon Islands nickel exploration project, page-52

Redpapa, AVQ has a clear run at the projects now. It is no thwarted from doing so.
The High Courts earlier and final determinations thwarted AVQ, not SMM.
Remember the courts not SMM cancelled AVQ's licences etc. Clearly u think otherwise! Incredible as the court records clearly disagree with you.
The local Islanders have and do enjoy fresh lobster and caviar as frequently as they desire even daily all caught from their own efforts and waters.
RM must likely does too, the difference being that it may well be funded by AVQ s'holders and not his efforts.
