I was curious about the same thing last week. Here is the word from IR.

SFMI will pay 15% on all historic tailings processed, no payment on unprocessed ore.

There seems to be a misunderstanding on whether royalties are to be paid by SFMI to GHDC on the above ground tailings and unprocessed ore. Can you please clarify?
Does SFMI owe GHDC the 15% royalty payment on above ground tailings and unprocessed ore?
Thank You,
