Twiggy and Another Person have loaned money to this company at higher than credit card interest rates. [Understandable enough : it's a high risk loan]. Additionally, their loan is secured by the mine. It would be reasonable to assume that they, as secured lenders, would not be bothered at all whether the mine succeeds or fails.
