Deet really!
Many if not most of Axioms past chairman and directors were and have been lawyers. 
Their LEGAL EXPERTISE did not help Axioms massive and costly legal endeavours then.
Clearly was GOOD  for the law firms involved throughout those now failed court proceedings.
Has been wonderful period for R Mount as he never had to try and establish an economic resource deposit  let alone seriously consider how best to develop a commercial mining operation.
Had through the same time period the AVQ BoD comprised individuals with true geological exploration and mining experience this company would not be the basket case it is today. RM’s  stewardship has squandered every dolllar of investors funds to date with nothing to show. 
Except of course RM’s outrageous salary and expenses.
