What the other side says
«Santana also complains that the claim that "Around 78% of the value of the gold will go to an Australian mining company" is presented as a direct quote and left to stand without challenge, qualification, or attribution to any identified source. It contradicts Santana's own calculations that suggests over 60% of gross profits are expected to remain in New Zealand.»
