Isabel Nickel needs to get into production, as is occuring — 2020/21 will be definite shortages of Cobalt also again coming to the fore .
Mainly - year on year, the increased demand for Nickel is of the order of ~ 5.5% ;
Being predominantly for stainless steel and steel alloying .
** the large majority of increased need —will be supplied by Nickel Laterite resources .
Axiom and the Isabel people need to move into full production in these next few years .
San Jorge , Isabel - is also shallow , near to sea Offtake points - all the ore resources .
Life of mine - I also think - ? to 25 years .
Axiom -
will go On , and On . The company position is now not in fundamental doubt.
* Respect , understanding of and mutual relationship with the local landowners has to be .
This is where Major miners could not work .
Most certainly it is Time - for the Solomon Islands to stand more on its own feet ! No excuses . It has been a fragile state politically .
Excellent people now are standing for office in the upcoming elections . Hugely qualified . Educated , local , and of good character - respected locally. Hoping many of them achieve election into the next parliament !
The Solomon Islands have the means to generate their own Prosperity! Wrong of government parties to be allowed to be fundamentally inept anymore - those days should be gone . Respect for what is past , people doing their best .
Local people need to work together for one another - not only for a few or to uphold power and rights of a few .
Also to allow good developments and advances to occur for all the people and their families to benefit . Prosper and Grow !
This (AVQ) will be exciting - humbling too , I always thought-
I just never thought could take soo long !
BOLTA. All the best to Axiom Holders and well done to management, this year .
I think - we can be confident , able to look forward to a good 2019 anyway
