"Whether you or I use “me my or I” or 1, 10 or 40 years does not mean nor give anyone the right to question or quiz ones use of our words in those instances. "

This we can agree to disagree, however without substantiation of facts, all we have left our credibility and as you suggest "Judge ones words on their accuracy or otherwise. "

"In my case in respect of AVQ I said (posted here on HC) back in late 2010 that AVQ WOULD NOT win the litigation it was getting itself into." In the case of AVQ it won the initial court action and it was Sumitomo et al that appealed the decision. In this case you suggested that Sumitomo would win, however, it begs the question, How do you interpret that Sumitomo won?? If they won, where are they now?

"It has not nor will it be compensated" Axiom mining was awarded compensation which was later dismissed by the CoA, however, the CoA quashed the decisions of the Mining Ministry voiding all decisions. Are you suggesting that no compensation will be paid to Axiom or their current litigation has no basis of appeal?

"Today AVQ HAS NOT DELIVERED TO SHAREHOLDERS." I beg to differ on the basis that they currently have various strategies that SH's would consider delivered, when it was suggested that SMM would be unbeatable as a billionaire company. At this stage and based on facts, Axiom have indicated that they will ship and because you hold, you too would suspect the same, otherwise your predictions are baseless whilst you still declare that you hold?

"If you doubt what I have said go way back and revisit my posts as it’s all there on record. " Whilst I have refuted your evidence as misleading, I would ask that you post the links to those statements. It would be fair to say that you also never predicted a PL or any positive perspective of Axiom, in fact, can you find me one prediction that suggests shipping would occur.

" I know well how this country and it’s people work and play. How so, decades of 1st hand experience. " I would comment that this may be deciphered as somewhat a generalisation, and racist. You dare to suggest that corruption is an inbuilt structure of the Solomon Islands people, and then oppose the very company that challenges this perspective and accuse wrongly management.

"It is so obvious to so many that this AVQ BOD’s is questionable at best" To say that no-one should question your integrity concerning your statements and we should take you at your word, and yet you make this profound hypocritical baseless statement like this? If you ask me, and since you have provided the matter, that it is indeed questionable at best?

The Announcement suggests that the "...company has commenced mining operations". Irrelevant of any negative postings, I for one would hope this will give an opportunity to see the shipping occur and a positive SP to consider the entitlement.
