AXIOM is set to make its first shipment of nickel ore from Isabel Province next month.
Quoting the Solomon Star newspaper – 13 February 2019
“This has been long time in the making as the nickel deposits were discovered way back in the 1950s and 60s.
“Axiom was granted the first ever mining lease for nickel in Solomon Islands in October 2018 – it took nearly a decade for the landowners and Axiom to get to this point.
“The road was long and at times stormy with court cases against those now abiding by our laws and at times political interference in preventing this development.
“But since they were granted the Mining Lease they have worked quickly to establish some initial mining operations to honour their promise of delivering Solomon Islands’ first ever shipment of nickel in the first half of 2019.
