Possibly motivations are revealed by the focus on persistently downing this stock - especially now the shareprice is at this low level , possibly perceived as important ‘chart’ support . Poster being a non-holder always , also to be noted .
Quote :
* “Some people do not understand-anyone not behaving only ( or purely ) out of self- interest . “ *
God knows why you hang around here - so so negatively , . and attack axiom alone .
? Just sayin’

Wish you well . Truly .

I and seems many other longterm holders - have been through much here , and do have actual money in this company .

The SI though must get Up.
Must .
*And now .
I’ve always seen this as a bet on the Solomon Islands and their future success , to unfold at last. In the end they likely will be very lucky. Late runners, tough atm though has been.

The Solomon Islanders are virtually our nearest neighbours - and at the present they have very much needed our support , ongoing .
*All we can do is encourage and assist to pull them up . They must also - Do now for themselves. Important for the next generation also . Will explain further -
In WW2 we gave above and beyond !! They’ve ( the SI ) have never truly risen up .
The USA gave enormously also back then . Recently are rekindling relationships
Deserved .

The Axiom CEO I think perceived this early. He lives in the SI permanently. Married and has a child locally . By all accounts and appearances - he is passionate for the Solomon Islands future , and invested in every way .

Isabel Nickel - must get up now .
This is a crucial juncture in time - and now , these years .

*The SI prime minister is worth trying to follow *
Intriguing times .
Make up your own minds - but I think so

In local news reports , & regional transcripts of his ( the SI PM’s) speeches and replies - internationally again in the last few weeks . Includes again this month - his address at meetings with the Asian Development bank ,
and his attendance at further International assemblies.
(*Smaller , emerging countries have their opportunities to speak and communicate to the global audience,regarding their concerns and needs , beside the largest countries of the world - who generally obscure any developments in tiny emerging nations . )
So - at global assemblies and some world forums . Eg. World environmental forums , and with world trade, and especially in the United Nations arena . The Solomon Islands has a voice.
*Prime minister ‘Hou’ - made comments this last week , along the lines that already the Solomon Islands is a full generation behind in the world , and he believes will take even 40 years to ‘catch up ‘ and have any chance to be more equal to circumstances or equitable in prospects compared to the life opportunities elsewhere in the developed world way ahead of them , as we also have here in Australia .
I think of this every time I am driving around - * look at the infrastructure developments and advances - just how long these took to be built , the money to be borrowed for , budgetary consideration for ., & completed — in our lifetimes ! ( interrupted by 2 world wars - since 100 years ago . Technology advancement such as computer exponential growth and the Internet - revved Up our economies )
They don’t understand this .

The Solomon Islands is small - but still complex with over 1000 separate islands.
The SI handicap - is due to the recent extra years , dissention , lack of leadership inc local division, and under- educated public servants- very real decades lost .
* Clearly - yes . they can catch up -
but Time and Money and good regional and supportive alliances are required .

So - all the focused SI work starting even now ., he says ( the SI Prime minister) - will only be more ‘realised ‘ in more equitable and better living standards and opportunities for the children only now just being born , and future born Solomon Islanders and citizens.
I agree .

He urges - Solomon Islanders to seek to educate their children and train and advance themselves. High real unemployment and a lack of future real prospects for upcoming adults is generally understood .
So - * the country is focusing No1 on educating the upcoming generation.

The previous SI Prime minister had also in the past at the time of the end of the Interim governance years, and when new independence occurred last year — in his July 2017 speech , he said similar -
(I think I posted his words then in HC - 2017)
* He stated that Resources are very important. Yes - very much so . Mining , fisheries , (even tourism and hospitality. )
The Solomon Islands has resources - and needs income. Without doubt - then and now occurring— there will be mining recommenced .(Goldridge- in Guadalcanal ) and Nickel mining (Isabel Province), at last .

***Axiom has been awarded the first ever - Nickel Mining Licence (ML) - in Isabel Province & the Solomon Islands * This is huge .

Isabel Islands— Nickel is No 1 ( which at relatively low percentages in base ore - equals gold, at a tad higher percentage grades , in value for mining )

The SI is already behind the eight ball .
In medium term - nearterm- is important to get into production, and to be income producing .

The SI needs to fund and payback infrastructure developments.
As well as- new Loans from the Asian Developement Bank . Honour .
The Asian developement bank has supported the SI for many years with funding - though not so much recently until the old government voted itself down , new Govt and anti- corruption laws watertight now in place .
Education and Health . Very needed - increases in expenditure.
All advancement - costs.

**Law and order , and importantly clear laws to protect against further future corruption and misappropriation of Govt monies or receiving of bribes - are established now . **
Our Australian Govt parliament - has passed as an absolute stipulation, that for any international support extended and monetary donations to emerging nations included- Aust Govt support , MUST be clearly going straight and Only to targeted assistance intended .
Not Lost, or poorly directed or misdirected . ( as much as governments can be relied upon for best use of taxpayers funds )

**Misappropriation of government funds was a bleed on the country in the SI- and certainly proven to have been corrupt elements in the SI.
Many former MPs are now being brought to justice .
**This delayed trust by foreign companies to establish in the Solomons, and for new investors money to enter the SI, until this year , and more truly- Now.

(Axiom also wound down internally - for the recent several years . )
Can be proud of the conduct of the company.

*Technologically - the SI , are still way behind .

* Their largest asset - will ultimately be their young population . **
Focused investment into the upcoming generation- is necessary as is inspiration from within the country , to create , build and generate for the country - with more pride nationally!

This only comes from employment and opportunities in industry also.
All of us has to work for our own self- determination in life - as a country also the Solomons has to.

Now you think I go on ( yes , true ) — though this is only a précis of the huge amounts happening right now , ..
and what has already been achieved in the Solomon Islands

And why I seem perhaps agitated - understanding how the Solomons must come of age .

It is very important .
For us here too .
We need the SI to find their way .
They should and they must .

Fairly or not - we still need to support them.

I believe this is the new Global way . Each one helps one . Instead of indiscriminate donations globally - the sheer numbers of refugees in many parts of the world: and immense populations held behind - the Only way is for close neighboring support - adopt even - until Ok .
Nearby support . Essential . Creates understanding , loyalty and stability.

**I recommend to try to follow the Solomon Islands news more . **
Our neighbours to whom we’ve extended enormous support and ADF twice been called to Defend.

**The undersea communications and internet cable from Sydney to Honiara also now planned to be laid . Think the route mapping being finalised at very minimum.
SI- Australia undersea communications cable Will be in place by , I think , by end next year !

The country( SI)- has been very difficult to operate within.

Logging - has been the No 1 recent industry , more so since the Goldridge gold mine was shuttered down . ( now goldridge is to be restarted also! )

Logging - has caused too much indescriminant decimation environmentally .
In not only one region- regrettably in a number of areas .

Logging cannot continue to go on unsustainably! There are surely so many more innovative ways for enterprise within the local habitat !
Fiji propagates and has lucrative Kava and other crops . The SI likely has unrecognised native plants , marine life , knowledge which be wonderful to capitalise upon and share in a bigger growing world.
As it has been - environmental destruction caused - cannot be allowed occur as it did on Nauru , or in the Philippines. Too many areas there ( Nauru , PNG also , the Philippines) - are regions - that are irreparable due to highly indescriminate logging .
**The SI people want their country to only be equitably harvested . Of course ! And of course wish that money was not a problem . ( don’t we all)
* Chinese logger operations- largely have been operated without sufficient sanctions being applied , without proper overall controls.
Private companies are not subject to strict operating rules and laws - as Axiom is for instance - some have caused significant degradation.

* In nearterm years - and for a long time,through the next decades - (which is similar to Australia as well)-
***The SI natural resources & Minerals — will and should be commenced into modern exploration - and matured into mining where equitable .

Mining —will bring in the most and early important national income .

Axiom is first to Start .

Shareholders , myself - deservedly should be able feel more pleased and proud - but this is not how the world works . Particularly in HC Land .
In the end- the truth of prospects will be revealed to us all . Totally out of our control .

**I’m betting on the need for the whole world to grow and be aboard also- or also god help us .
(Why did I go to assist the SI —in the early 2000s ? I believed in their suffering during WW2 , grew up on stories of Guadalcanal-
I felt so concerned - there must, has to be , a better future for All. )

But this is a public forum only .

**Shareholders have been highly supportive though so long . **
— Still wait for actual shareprice return and real value .
Do the sums — though I know the entire sector in the asx and world markets has been suppressed .

In the end- the only outcome is for Axiom to be Mining soon , now actually virtually - and focusing forwards .

Axiom have full support of the SI government.
Granted licences .

Events have been very unfair on Axiom the last few years - it’s a miracle we are still here ‘rambling ‘ about all , at all .

Many had us dead in the water .
I think this is now very inaccurate - and many ( including BHP at Sth Pacific forum late last year ) - would congratulate Axiom on progression and the achievement of their Mining status in the Solomon Islands .
( I know - ‘pending funding’ - which the company tells us is in advanced negotiations, inc Offtake contracts)

These are very valuable , precious resources -plus it means a lot to the people there .

Final notes - on a Saturday evening-
*The country still primarily relies on foreign aid - from Australia ~ No 1 .
**Our friendship and support have been crucial **
Australians should know this.

However-
Most Australians are unaware - due to the long time since the civil disruptions - and years of delays in real evolution forward for the local economy.
I believe that now, without doubt - Traction is being gained .

The Australian Government ( ie - all of us, Australian taxpayers !) —
**give over $100 million in funding alone - for targeted Education projects and funding —every year ! Annually . For the Solomon Islanders, and Education ~ alone .
*This is targeted into specific , higher Education in the SI for example . As well as schools .
The SI people are very grateful .
We generally do not realise - what we give .
We should be proud .,
*Local Solomon Islands University support, as well as Aust Govt funded scholarship placements and training into our Australian universities . Along with NZ , Canada and others - but Australia mainly has given - really supports secondary qualifications , further university education for promising local SI students and graduates.
*High schools have been a very important need for focus in the Solomons .

I think I am far from a blue sky view position ( esp after being involved in primary production , commodities especially - as well as involved in regional & followed necessarily , global events - for over 3 1/2 decades .
Whole of life - in rural , regional , and private businesses , from zero startups into production and have been working always . I’ve -Contributed .

Everything- takes way longer than expected or even hoped !
And - I feel I am only just getting there ..
Was extremely tough .
For many decades , & still is .
Can never drop the ball when in any enterprise.
I monitor and study so much - because of the life that been . Its the only way .

*Impatience and derision regarding progress and efforts expressed — often- in here - though understandable & all respect to those shareholders hurt by the years waiting - *could benefit more from experience and life education . IMO .

Apologies.
But what do I know .
We all still have to believe that we never know anything for sure .
No matter how long we’ve been around and involved for .

OVERALL FACT -
Axiom is now already commencing to Mine .
Also - Axiom **holds LOIs over the other main Isabel tenements ; Kolosori previously Axiom completed a full JORC .
Also Axiom holds a PL over West Guadalcanal!
And exploration work has been ongoing there . As well as Camp establishment as is occuring right now on San Jorge announced .

Listed companies must report the Truth .

The ASX’s rules are very strict , and rigid .

**Your assertions - are contrary to the considerable amount of great , & very positive news - recent announcements regarding the advancement of works now in the Solomons, Isabel & Guadalcanal—by the company . **

You’re attempting to maintain some fears? , from the past considerable delays ( for which the SI Mines minister officially apologised to Axiom for - at the time of granting finally of the Mining Licence to Axiom )
Maybe still posters have reasons to intentionally fan doubts . This is sad .
Caution is important ! Of course .
** But seriously - Axiom has the first mining licence (San Jorge ) - this was not a small feat !

Funding - is necessary to finalise .
* But it will go ahead .
It already is happening.
(I think of the poor men out there in the early summer heat - working hard to get all up & progressing . )

**The first company in 50 years of campaigns of exploration works on Isabel Nickel potential projects — Axiom has been granted the mining licence. *
Sumitomo wanted it . Fought hard . Rumoured to have expended over $100 million?
*Vale , BHP , Majors should have got up and going , but were disrupted. These companies did considerable exploration drilling- results now held by the SI Govt and by Axiom as the tenement holder.

Maybe now will be the very best time for Isabel Nickel?
*But the country has been held back for way long enough .

**It could be more practical for unfortunate readers in here —instead to watch the LME London Nickel commodity outlook video - will repost below . **
(**as well as other LME videos - eg, ‘the great metals debate -2018’ )
, and
** best still = to follow the Shanghai Nickel exchange releases . *

Disclosure :
FYI - obviously I am invested into Nickel.
* Primarily into Axiom ( Laterites ) more than Sulphides - though I also am a big fan of our own WA developments.
——
Additionally - weekend research perhaps which can be followed up :

Watch nearterm happenings - globally, as well as with China especially—
China’s economic growth is slowing , since February notably - there has been “trade war “ , and ongoing sovereignty concerns -the South China Sea , Taiwan.
There were I think - Real trade advantages - that had been the status quo , advantageous for China over the US . Lesser players - inc the Australia & our AUD , and most nations are disadvantaged in this crossfire .

*Our low AUD does favour exports and resources stocks - base , unprocessed, most so , in the now current environment.

*The Yuan is also low now atm - compared to the USD .

Asian smelters - are relatively young, and reportedly in good condition - ie. up to , approximately 12 years old .
Smelters majority are in excellent working order.

When the affordability of raw commodity is compromised by a country’s low currency and retarded economic conditions compared to expected as is now for China and a defensive position needed - it goes down .
Everything seems to point to that (base ore and coal as well as oil in the current squeeze scares- are Up , relative to all other base metals and commodities and markets ) — as there will be emphasis - on greater demand for base raw ore and for keeping a countries own ( protect own economy ) production outputs and production(as well as sustain employment etc) .
Base commodities - at present are Up.

The Asian , especially Chinese smelters need ore .
**Stainless steel demand - is real . Steel demand been very real . ( China’s Steel production in recent years -equalled that of the USA over the entire last century )
So we’re seeing this with recent and current base ore demand-
* Iron ore price again is supported . ( and forecast to continue to be good demand - by Rio & other local iron ore producers for instance. Into next year envisioned to be so )
* Coal - also - the base form for energy , coal miners are performing well - for steel and power end needs - at present ( longterm i hope coal mining for power generation drops way back! )
** And also - (LATERITE ) NICKEL-
This is due to major increased demand , ongoing for Nickel . *
This is truly very important.

Recent LME Poll results - of all analysts and all commodity key experts :
View attachment 1353375

With the current constraints- on China —
** it is Likely - that environmental concerns at home , in China - be eased off in the very shortterm - certainly over this upcoming winter for them —
So - their smelters will likely not be closed down as they were last Christmas peak and winter time - *when there was unforeseen Chinese consumer electricity demands, critical shortages of available Power - which caused the further shutdown of usual planned Chinese smelter operations.
GDP fell , as well as processed factory outputs !

**This year - China has been in early , buying ahead for forecast higher electricity requirements.
Coal , oil needs - included also . ***

NB - important extra aside -
*There is also fast- tracking of Hydro schemes in Asia. Also - Right now .
Sustainable local energy - is Urgently required for greater self- sufficiency with environment protection , clean energy -to fulfil increasing and future needs .

***Also relevant to Axiom / Solomon Islands future - Hydro electric project is starting to be developed- in the SI .
Announced . & Happening.
*This was achieved by the Minister for Mines as well as Rural Electification - as first priority — ahead of Axiom mining approvals ! NB.

* fast tracking- fingers crossed — for the SI Hydroelectric scheme .
In the SI , they have “received support from the Asian Devt bank , as well as the Aust Govt and Aust company support- for the Solomon Islands Hydro -Power developement -
This will bring down - in Asia , wherever possible -urgently- the cost of electricity, and allow industry and mining to develop .
*More equitably .
(Avoid major carbon burning also . )

Environmentally - naturally this is the most sound way forward for the Solomons . They have the geography and catchment area to support this ., the World Bank also have given support.

_____
For China - Asia - more than ever -
**There is huge demand for Nickel ore .
*Cobalt credits important very much now also - rapidly has become so since Axiom’s 2016 (retracted ) PFS for San Jorge.
Incidentally - the late 2016 PFS was supportive for mining with the global circumstances as was the scenario- then . (Was until second half 2017- a lower ‘range-bound constrained’ Nickel prices , and also higher production costs ? . My hope anyway Clutch has been lifted off costs due to efficiencies , and the Nickel base price at last.
Shareholders wanted money to be saved into production. Seek efficiencies .
( my wish also - long experience doing own mechanical work , seek to Buy only practical , robust equipment that can be locally worked upon )

* *Improved economics now there should be .
Right now this is especially the case ! *
Nickel global prices have finally come into their own . Had to be .

Outlook for the nearterm ,as well as longterm - nickel price is good .

Medium term- goodness knows - but must get above $15000 / tonne for there to be progress of Nickel Sulphides Resources into mining production - so this is likely to occur . ( > $15000- to $20000/ tonne , again , for Nickel price per tonne )
*
If - nickel price instead , languished- then sulphide mine progression will Slow .
** Vale - (world’s second largest Nickel producer ? ) - have pledged only to advance projects : if & when there is >$15000/ tonne Ni price )
Well understood therefore- that -
Delays- will predictably - cause a nickel support price spike . *.

Nickel price - must appreciate sometime- occur sometime- or high grade sulphide new Mines will be less economic and be delayed in developments further - exacerbating the very real Nickel supply shortage overall - globally. Demand is real - right now and into the next decades .
( I do sums on $12000/tonne nearterm only/ though can likely be higher on average and actually is higher - to me this favours Axiom and Laterite Developements oncoming - nearerterm - more than Sulphides.)

Chinese woes - and high US Dollar , trade war issues - add to this presumption.

So I suggest -
Could easily be bit lower nickel prices , at around the $12000– $13000 / tonne , likely - if so this will only further support low capex , Nickel Laterite mine developements over sulphides - again - aka Axiom

**** Nickel at $12000 / tonne is still much higher than 2015! ***
** This was when the 2015/16 PFS - which axiom was forced to retract for San Jorge , was generated -
Nickel was then at much lower prices per tonne .

Nearterm- the greater likelihood- could well be **higher nickel prices again - Nickel bounce Up .
This is the fundamental belief of analysts- who forecast correctly more supported Nickel prices to be the case in 2017 .
They still forecast that nickel prices will be the most supported of all base metals and gold also - into late 2018 ( now ) and 2019. **


Nickel is very exciting ! I believe. I enjoy following.
I’m not the only one I’m sure .
________________________
What Downers in here are likely betting on - actually - is doubt? and uncertainty, at the moment persisting —
* especially for anyone who has not closely followed Axiom prospects for the last number of years . Seems ? they wish to fan a ‘perception’ of uncertainty regarding Mine development and especially- Funding .
Anyone - Not aware of the tremendous long history of Isabel province , explorations - and not aware of the events through the bad years in the SI domestically- or Australian enormous support and contribution. I imagine easily would steer away .

**This is why Axiom market cap and shareprice is at bargain basement, also not helped by this years stock market malaise .

**Seriously-
The only real way is Up - for the Solomons. **

I believe very much also for Axiom

*The market wants to see a definitive Feasibility study . Capex . Figures . Understandably .
Me also .

Detractors - in this little window since the time the Mining Licence was approved several months ago- still seek to apply pressure.?
Critical of All .
Attack everyone- and this is not fun !

This period - while Axiom and all the mining professionals they had previously advertised for , then have now employed & could finally get started on works - while awaited main equipment orders etc. Judging by photos in announcements the last weeks .
Still - Mining plans - and full- on the ground -developement inc. local final approvals I think - as well as Offtake contracts , and importantly finance - could not occur without or prior to the 100% granted Mining licence .

*** I believe the MC should be much higher . The market has doubted , after initial buyers took positions- and been still in “hold off “ , until all confirmed to be occurring.

IMO - Detractors here , may not care , or don’t fairly understand- just how important developments are in the SI and for the future .
Will be significant especially as time goes on .

Axiom - still - are only small .
Indonesian developements alone dwarf us.

But - Axiom - and the future in the SI is important- locally -very much wrt Isabel Nickel . Hopefully - all will run together which I’m sure all have always believed will be the best way for mining there .
I feel bit sorry for SMM even in this respect - once you study the shipment points , potential road routes and variety of Nickel grades and credits along with .
The best outcome - is for all to be worked together- have better product supplying ability . *Essentially it is the same workforce base and mutual regional ownership. *

Axiom- still will be only a relatively smaller entity .
Even with growth to over $500 million MC - longterm . (This is what I see !)
And eventually- with support - who knows ?

Mainly I want this to be locally going - production, income and jobs there for the SI people .
****Of course equitably for shareholders also ! **
God yes . This has been an enormous path .

Years ago I opposed New Hope (Coal ) .
‘Hated’ ‘them ‘, and their ambitions to mine .
Now - they have been and are very valued and wanted in Australia.
Expansion now is occurring across the country .
They are a very well respected company- almost if not already- regarded as’blue chip ‘ . Trusted .

For years prior - wrt New Hope , an entire generation of farmers and Landowners opposed the prospects of coal mining and land acquisition- feared. Did not want Mining . Fought against it occuring . For more than 25 years .

***Eventually developements gets to the point of being compelling, and difficult to argue against,.. or Not —- what is obvious for the greater good .

In the end- it was inevitable that the New Hope Resource be mined .
First starting up— wedged in smaller start areas - then they steadily expanded.

***The company and the mine becomes embedded into the local region and communities *.

Tough transition prior . People who had lived in areas involved - Resisted during their prime adult years.
‘Peoples Rights “ - are paramount .
*The main landowners realised - that not only was mining inevitable - and the higher value production use for the land- definitely .
But that existing primary production and the static ways of living of the previous generation - was unsustainable anyway for their smart educated kids .
*They ( their children moving into adulthood and seeking to settle and have their own families) — would never be able to make an income as their parents and elders before them had done . Electricity , modern advances and machinery efficiencies . Contraindicated .
Greater overall environmental questions of what was best and sustainable and ultimately supported the best lifestyles for younger families up and coming to remain also —ultimately are realised in every situation. Else some stubborn , religious or otherwise beliefs or dogma holds best path forward back .

The young people all had to move away , anyway if Mining did not happen .

Existing subsistence farming by comparison it would now be - to modern times , as well as weather variations - droughts , vagaries of seasons , limited employment -
It means and meant that mining was best to go ahead . Unless is absolute prime land use for other purposes . including farming food production .

Many mining projects - from decades ago- are now feasible to restart .
Or getting underway .
Worldwide .

Income to sustain each countries population and regional developing communities- is not easy .
Resources are needed .
A Country can be built upon .

Farming. Or subsistence as previously- where formerly was not the Will or methods to produce more , or the machinery capabilities- *now it is unconscionable to not consider and progress where truly economic.

As for Axiom , Isabel ambitions - it is the Right time now .

If Not - they could well also have missed the boat.
It is happening.

The locals by all accounts - wanted to be involved and to benefit- they approve of Axiom mining principles .
Landowners involved and educated as to what , why , developement to occur .

This has been over 50 years - coming.

? I do not think - any petty , unwarranted criticisms of an actual ethical company is very fair now .
Axiom have operated morally and ethically correctly - longsuffering shareholders dragged along if held .

Now the shareprice is at base levels. Targeted downing which has lived in this forum , by nonholding posters - who’ve persisted in scaremongering, possibly may presume for own reasons or biased motivations not related to real overall truths of what will be - are very much ignoring and not respecting for the people and what is all finally happening .

However long- it has taken- Axiom have announced - they are now poised to ship by early in 2019 .
This is significant.

**The resources are important and significant.
Have always been.

**Institutional investors can only come in I think , when there are offtakes , Feasibilities and final numbers released all up to date ,and likely Market cap > $100 million also — as the base level before entering .
The Future has got to be fully in place .
Thoroughly visible - to the Market and in written contracts.

I hope Holders and those who watch - can see past -whatever motives a few resident detractors have had in here .
And best wishes to absolutely All .

The future potentials here - are understood, known and very much is what is needed - a successful startup for the SI locals .

The deputy Prime Minister, of the Solomon Islands- stated that the SI is a safe country , definitely not a risk to any other countries .
But that unfortunately—- they have been their own worst enemy, within the country - tribe against tribe petty parochial concerns included , traditional views , though now the future is very much needed . Respect to local tribal families and laws still upheld . Respect to their peaceful way of life & abilities to sustain themselves.

* The country still has to do for itself and cooperate within now - work forward into the future together , for the next generation.

NB -
****The average age of Solomon Islanders is 19.5 years of age - at recent review !
And - **Over 80% of the population is under 30 years of age ! **

The future for this young and ever- growing population - certainly needs actual local training and enterprise opportunities.
And well and truly needs to begin now .,

Australia has pledged to take in 10000 Solomon Islander locals annually- into Australia, for seasonal work , and employment generally including Training.
Hospitality, agricultural opportunity skills, admin experience - can hopefully be taken back home as a useful skill set .

Canada, Japan , NZ - also are majorly taking local SI young adults in - provide employment and livelihood for them while the Islanders are resident .

Axiom - is the first mining company -to be getting up and going in the Solomons.

The county has always had rich resources.
Untapped .
There’s been lack of clear direction . There was not the Will .
Were local issues - & so much time has gone by.

Once Axiom is a mining company as they are now becoming- already holding several Project tenements as long envisaged- I don’t think Axiom is intending to go away .

Axiom is - Committed to being a ‘miner of significance ‘ in the Solomon Islands.

I believe we’d have been long gone , and not have the opportunity we do here - except for Axiom’s CEO . Love him or have doubts along the way about him - (I’ve never met him ) - he is always 100% determined for Axiom to prevail.
And for all involved to succeed .

NB also -
**Axiom has apparently moved into the former premises - the Office and location where Sumitomo had formerly been based in Honiara .

This is On .

Machinery , workers are going - legally permitted & away - and decades of mining lease granted - over there .
This is happening.

- Ignore weak intent insults and jibing .
** The comprehensive EIS , full devt approvals - were achieved nearly half a year ahead of the mining licence granting . ***

We have been told - negotiations are well advanced - with potential offtake partners .

There is NO Doubt - that the ore is wanted .

*Yes - we await actual Funding news . And updates - margins - and costs .

It’s a position I’ve been happy to take .
DYOR . Please .

This, again -is a good starting point for anyone assessing or monitoring all that happening with this Axiom history. I wish my average was in the 9c zone !
So often the way for longterm Loyal holders. ‘Could have ‘ entered far lower than initially invested !

** Stay strong Axiom Holders - and I hope we soon have more positive posters - here .

****Many are far better writers , and involved in more - but have stated they hold off from posting in here , in support of Axiom and their holding - due to the negative intentions and being targeted by Detractors.
Also as they believe it doesn’t matter greatly - HC not to be regarded as primary source of information.

** No 1 - Need do your research - go into company website and all recent reports . Attend shareholder meetings . Be sure .

I hope many past posters soon return .

And - shareprice soon be a deal higher!
In assessing any investment you want costs to be not high nor complex and adding to Risks, and for production to be needed , and in demand .

I multiply - a base of -
* $20 only even ( conservative) x the 2015/16 shipping per annum tonnages as was planned ~ 2 million tonnes.,
For example - knocking numbers down for safety- to only 1.5 million tonnes —
$20 x 1.5 million tonnes , return . p.a .
In the early years . Once in full production ~ 18 months .
This the investment argument at minimum .
I believe be exceeded .

**However long it has taken - this will be welcome in the local SI region . ***

Best of luck to all over in the SI , and the shareholders who have been through this - some for a very long time!
*Feel for those who lost trust along the way. **

The SI must progress - simply must .
With help and assistance still - they are .

And Isabel is happening . San Jorge is starting.
Only Axiom is there and hold the Rights .

Axiom has been there now a decade.
Plans to be a main mining company within the Solomons. All the best .
I hope newcomers will watch / listen :




Last LME survey- Nickel forecast next years base price - fundamentally outstanding :
