“If any windfall was to come to Mineralogy, the funds would be used for public good.”

I wouldn't trust a word palmer says, any profits will go straight into this pockets

Windfall means something very specific too.
It's not just profits, it's profits exceeding expectations.
So if the company expects to earn 1 billion dollars profit and actually earns 1.1, it's only the .1 that's a windfall.

And as you say, he's a weasel who is likely to define "public good" as "In Clive Palmers person interests".

He's part of the public (to everyone's disgust).
