Yeah defo this is all orchestrated by Mupande / Cominiere / Zijin due to snacks
Slightly different timeline of events regarding the FROR tho
21/7/21 - Cominiere write to AVZ asking for an ‘opinion’ on their intent to sell the 15% to Zijin
4/8/21 - AVZ reply to Cominiere saying yo dipshits we have FROR what is the price we want to buy (This is within the 40 day time limit outlined in Article 9.1 (b) of the Dathcom JVA)
Crucially Cominiere never reply because they are too busy snacking
30/8/21 - 40 day time limit expires
The purported acquisition of the 15% by Zijin is then approved and registered in the RCCM (I don’t know the exact date this occurred but it was sometime in September 2021 according to Zijin)
20/9/21 – AVZ submits offer to purchase the 15% from Cominiere to the MoP at the market valuation of $154m USD established in the DFS which is to be done in a split of cash and AVZ shares (The date of 2071 shown is obvs a translation issue the original doc shows 2021)

Don’t forget this old chestnut too which is the basis for everything that has happened regarding 15775 imo although all events post the Dathcom JVA purported termination is irrelevant legally as it should have gone through the ICC which is what AVZ are talking about in the screenshot you posted but I have said that many times. If the Dathcom relinquishment is valid the northern section should have gone through the tender process outlined in the mining code which never occurred even with Cominiere's relinquishment for Manono Lithium.
