Ann: Response to ASX Query Letter, page-35

Sumitomo were the behemoth .
Generally - huge , highly regarded global company .

In the SI unfortunately it appears that they did not behave in completely above board manner - or more the point , their employees , company representatives in the Solomons did not .
This is still the subject and a matter in an action still to be finalised in the courts ?
Potentially they may even have given bribes or in kind , or actively talked down and undermined axiom ?

I would not think this reflects the company as a whole - SMM are significant here also in Australia . Respected .

The final reason de jour for the knockout of the PLs of Axiom and Kolosori LOs group , was administrative errors , within the SI regional Isabel offices in ? 2009- 10 type time .
Insufficient legally cf international standard or similar claim ?
* I remember it as Sumitomo took the SI government to High Court , challenged its administrative work back in time . They had a case - and won .
Axiom was free to immediately re- apply .

Torture !
But I admired everybody’s tenacity .

All been long and cruel on all involved .
I feel contempt from LOs Kolosori , taking axiom shareholders money , effectively also

Familiarity breeds contempt they say .

I think some of Trade dreams comments above are just nasty .
People who have been through this do not deserve .
All the best to you .

Ultimately - still - much as I’m tired and disillusioned with the people - and will just watch -
Best thing still - for all , esp even the San Jorge people , is to have concerted endeavour together - finally lead to Mining !
Better lives and a bit of a start into a Future.

Have Axiom and people who wish to be with - on lands fully permitted , world class EIS , and nearterm Jorc I hope - advance .
Sure there’ll be more thrills and spills - but for god sake , let there be Mining .
First production of some nickel ore .

Surely best for morale and everyone then can see how they fare . Up to the people .

I feel very sad for the children and younger families . Above all else they need sound educations , good basic health and work for better amenities - and vision for the future .
I think they have internet now ?

Probably not enough high value education and connection as yet - maybe too much petty gossip and more entertainment usage .

Major world organisations are working to try make overarching quality of content more central for internet users , and limit serious scamming and cheap advertisers + scaring even and anger(hate) - generating feelings — for vulnerable emerging nation web users .

Time . Nothing to do with axiom or the SI - but boy they need to see the light into a better world view for themselves . Whatever happens here .
It’s really pivotal time for them as a country for their young people .
I despise the corruption and waste of money which has occurred there .

Best of luck to all
