"The Australian company at the centre of a mining controversy in the Solomon Islands, Axiom Mining Limited is going ahead with its plan to begin prospecting for nickel in two weeks' time.
This is despite a statement from the Prime Minister's Office earlier this week, rejecting the validity of Axiom's prospecting license in Isabel Province.
Mr Ryan Mount CEO of Axiom said that he has not received any official notification on the status of his prospecting license and he is continuing with Axiom's project rollout."
