A former mining executive probably owns lots of stock in mining companies. He might perhaps be able to give useful advice to this organization, provided they remain alert to the danger of being led into a trap.

But there is something fishy about putting the mining executive on the board, where he could vote to make it decide to "compromise" by letting the mining company have its way. Thus, I am skeptical that the organization truly intends to protect those lands. It could decide that the best way to "benefit" the Banjima is to pay the organization to permit more mining.

I wonder which of the Banjima would actually benefit from some of that money, and how that relates to the board of the organization.
