No supporting legal arguments there, just overview kind of slanted to suggest that royalties are due and payable regardless of the lack of production [which is not mentioned]

The uploader's facebook page can be found with duckduckgo, he reminds me of a local politician from the southern end of the country, long on rhetoric, short on full logical layout of actual facts

The year 2004 keeps getting mentioned ... well that would be three or four years before the Anglo people Merlin was dealing with were pretty much blind-sided by their company's decision to back out of base metals, and sell off Skorpion? ... there wasn't much if any notice of that coming, was my impression at the time, and before it a production decision didn't look all that far off ... in '06, '07, thereabouts, say ... well it all looked so good then, zinc above two dollah and silver rising, there would have been a lot of happy talk about big bucks real soon, the locals weren't the only ones disappointed by subsequent events

Merlin was always proud of his community relations, for good reason, he had acted quite responsibly throughout, as reported by a fellow for whom i had considerable respect ... so i doubt if there was any 'verbal contract' from him that can't be shown now ... it can actually get quite dicey, the quest for the particular mind and time in which a dispute like this arose ... lucky that courts aren't supposed to care about that, just stick to provable facts and logic, and they often perform reasonably well
