"GFY. But then there is reality"
Did you catch Lord Alan Sugar on The Appretice on how much he was making on Sky satellite dishes?
He was telling off an Apprentice candiate for being embarrassed to make a profit.
Amstrad had the dishes stamped out at £1 a unit, and was selling them for £60 retail.
If the candidate felt sorry for the customer, he had no place on the team.
The arithmetic for the miner is very simple. If you produce a metal for $3 a unit, but you know you can produce the same thing for $2 with AMMLeach, you WILL switch to AMMLeach. If you don't, the other miner WILL, and they can sell for $2.5, and drive you out of business.
The AXM business model is surprising for a mining company.
Normally, a lot of capital is wasted just on exploration, and then there's all the claim staking and mineral rights, and under the table bribes for ministers. Then building transport infrastructure, installing machinery, so the mining can actually begin. Upfront capital intensive.
AXM doesn't get into any of that.
AXM is more like a software company.
Microsoft writes MS-DOS once, and then just stamps out a CD (or floppies) for anyone who has a PC.
Effectively, a PC buyer has to have a copy, whether it's IBM-DOS, or a generic MS-DOS.
Every time somebody buys a tonne of copper, produced by AMMLeach, we get 2.5%.
Provided people keep buying AMMLeach copper, we keep getting paid.
We just have to prove we provide a significant cost reduction, which could include cleanup cost at end of life, then every shop will become a shoe shop, because it is economically impossible to sell anything other than AMMLeach metal.
Miners forming a union and refuse to switch to AMMLeach? Better chance for World Peace.
