There is an Australian geologist living in Mexico who I understand makes around $600,000 per year so you would hope there is good oversight. But a geologist is not a miner. My understanding was that the Martinez family are miners but they have been pushed out.
I would expect the combined income of the Australian based employees to easily be $600,000 as well.
As for planning to merge with the train wreck that is Crusader I have no idea but such a spiv move would not surprise me. They are much better at mining the market than mining rocks.
