If there is any uncertainty we need to go into suspension .To be honest, it is not ideal if Zijin get to keep their 15%. However, if they do, time for Zijin to fork out more monies as part of the project. No weaselling out of this. Holding strong still even though tomorrow might be a carnage for AVZ SP.
Agree 100%If there is any uncertainty we need to go into suspension .
I'd fight Zijin tooth and nail before letting them have any percentage let alone 15%In relation to having Zijin on board or not, of course long term its in our best interest to grab the 15% if we can, but short-term(talking 3-18months, not the initial shock of the market) if Zijin end up with the 15%(us 51%, CATH 24%) this is undoubtedly be the quickest way to production. Zijin has something crazy like $18b cash in the kittybased on the article I linked last night, and they have experience building mines in the DRC (as mentioned before "6months ahead of schedule" too, so they clearly know how to get us up and running asap. Of course the problem is if it drags out in the courts then we wont get to see that benefit which makes a part of me think if DRC gov cant turn around quickly and annul the supposed sale then maybe we should not even fight for the right to buy this 15%, just give it to them, they will hasten production, hasten 10mtpa, hasten the battery hub, everything, they're cashed up and have all the knowledge, connections and tools to get us to 20-30mtpa with a battery plant quicker than anyone. Add the fact they are as sly as a fox and are state backed, then add CATH and we will be an unstoppable force.
Dont get me wrong, these snakes make me fume, but.....

Add the fact they are as sly as a fox and are state backed, then add CATH and we will be an unstoppable force. DRC gov, CATH, AVZ and Zijin, an almighty force...if you can't beat them join them, having them on our side would also help building mines anywhere on the globe in the future if we make other acquisitions which Nige has alluded too.

Say 18 months for litigation.If there is any uncertainty we need to go into suspension .
Please excuse my ignorance but how long can you theoretically suspend trade for? ThanksSay 18 months for litigation.
Lift suspension around the time production commences.
ALL GOOD.
10 bags from here
All those shorters will continue to pay holding / borrowing fees.
How longs a piece of string ?Please excuse my ignorance but how long can you theoretically suspend trade for? Thanks

Indeed. Bids and offers are purged prior to the lifting of TH/ suspension.I guess that will all be washed if the TH is lifted tomorrow anyway.
Haven't we already seen their true colours? Z in, X out![]()
Exactly, I'm not saying I'm a big fan of it either but maybe we can turn it to our advantage? AVZ has GOOD LEGAL TITLE so:Of course there are other sources, Im just trying to find a balance among all this bs, we dont want this dragging out in court. Having them on board right now as opposed to this dragging on for 12-18months could be a difference of $1.50sp in in a year or $3. Zijin wont eff around when it comes to expansion, I reckon they'd have us at 10mtpa abt 12 months prior to we would without them(bearing in mind cash, knowledge, connections in the country, etc). I just cbf seeing this drag out in court....get on with the bloody show and make us some money lol
As Disco said maybe there are other ways to negotiate a percentage with them and teh DRC gov more on our terms and at a proper price not at a crazy discount of $33m for 15%, but pls crack the whip ppl, we just got our ML and we're meant to be hitting the top shelf
YupIndeed. Bids and offers are purged prior to the lifting of TH/ suspension.
The people dealing in those sorts of numbers are well aware of that and are just planting seeds in peeps heads.
2 years maximumPlease excuse my ignorance but how long can you theoretically suspend trade for? Thanks
They seem quite predatory and let's face it, they are very experienced so wouldn't you want to run the whole show and take more if the profit? They would just need another 5% to make it happenwhy would you say that?
