An easier solution would be if Nigel by way of someone like Deboss reach out and put SH minds at ease over this matter . Maybe another wink or a photo of a scrumptious lunch spread . Or better still just announce the gid damn ML .I'm going with the glass half full view of this section of the report.
Some relevant comments to share:
There is no statement that AVZ has done anything illegal. (and this was the case in the extracts of the full IGF report early this year as well)
It criticises Dathomir for selling shares when it should not have, yet the report does not state the transaction was illegal or void, but breaches an an article of the JV agreement, not the DRC mining code or they would have mentioned that.
The focus of the balance of this section in the report makes complaint about Dathimor not providing any input value yet taking large profits. (Something AVZ has not been accused of)
Others will have more information, however I recall the JV agreements / shareholder agreements with Cominiere being re-struck after the above event.
The sale of shares to AVZ from Dathomir is stated as a matter of fact, not a complaint on AVZ is my glass half full take.
Obviously the above section / sentence will cause some concern, yet there has been no dialog on reversing this transaction or reshuffling the deck (ownership) by the IGF in the body of the document or in the conclusion.
It would be helpful to have the full report in hand that was completed earlier in the year to correlate this summary and changes since. I hope Franck will share eventually.
What can be investigated further is something that was raised by another holder here, the reference to "article 16 point ( f )" may have been in earlier version of the JV/Shareholders agreement that was reportedly replaced in 2019 (I suspect), yet this is stretching my memory, I'm sure others can dig into more detail. Or correct me if my memory serves me wrong.
