HAVING sighted available information with regard to the granting of the mining lease to both Asian Pacific Investment Development (APID) and Bingtang Borneo it is quite clear that due process under the Mines and Minerals Regulation has not been followed.Transparency Solomon Islands hold the view that the decision reached is questionable and possibly  unlawful.It is questionable given the fact that many procedures required before a decision may be reached were not followed.
