Bugotu Landowners Association Hits Back At Axiom, page-32

Yes Shane, if Axiom have been issued a PL and SAA by the Minister then he would have been satisfied due process was followed regarding the land owner agreements. If agreement hadn't been reached Axiom would have been requested to excise from their application those areas claimed by the dissenting landowners.

Still don't understand what BLA's issue here is. But they've got history with Axiom, back in 2011...

Mr Riogano (BLA) says Axiom Mining Limited, through a local subsidiary company Axiom KB Limited, are making some very misleading statements and claims in respect to its own efforts to develop the Isabel nickel deposits.

He says BLA dismisses what the Axiom companies are saying on the street, in the hotels and in the villages, claiming that they have the support of the BLA. Bugotu Landowners Association was established in 2003 and represents the people of Isabel and San Jorge Islands.

Hard to tell whether they're commercial competitors, dissenting land owners or what.
