Axiom Mining Limited provided update on its Isabel Nickel Project. The company announced that mining has commenced at San Jorge mining operations, grade control drilling of the initial mining areas are complete, sheeting of haul roads commences this week in preparation for delivery of ore to port, ore drying testing is under way and first shipment of ore is on track for this quarter. The company has requested the Solomon Islands Government reconsider its application for a prospecting licence for Kolosori. Axiom is aware that there are competing claims for all or part of this deposit The Government is currently in caretaker mode with the dissolution of Parliament in December 2018. As such, a final decision or outcome on this matter may not be forthcoming until after the formation of a new government, anticipated in March or April 2019. Axiom is considering a claim for judicial review of this matter in the High Court. Axiom has filed applications in the High Court for judicial review of the Solomon Islands Government's decisions concerning Axiom's applications for prospecting licences for both these deposits. Axiom had previously applied for prospecting licences over these areas and the Ministry of Mines appear to have failed to present these applications to the Minerals Board for formal consideration. The courts have been in vacation until last week. A hearing date is expected to be confirmed by the courts shortly.
