Asking for a friend, what's the current share price of AVZ in the ASX300?
Me think you are a plant and not the one some smoke.
Well you can start investigating Celeste (thanks a slam dunk as the work has already been done and requires no effort).

I think the flaw (and in fact the irony) in your whole argument is that "you" can't handle the truth.
You keep telling us to wake up and accept it's a duster and move on but you are still here whinging and whining.
You're done dude.
Wake up.
It's over.
Now move on.

Cant get engagement on the BRN forums so come over here shouting the same ignorant 1 line sentences. Again and again and again.

We're all battle hardened as fuck, and can smell a blow in from a mile away.
You're not even amusing, or irritating. Just boring and irrelevant.

Mine Minister Louis Watum announced on March 3, 2026 in Toronto that the DRC will produce its first lithium as of the second quarter of 2026. The announcement was made at the "Spotlight on DRC" mining trading platform in Canada, in front of investors and international partners. The deposit concerned is located in Manono, Tanganyika province, and is among the largest in the world.
Lithium is a strategic mineral essential for the manufacture of rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles, mobile phones and energy storage systems. Global demand continues to grow: according to Market Research Future, the lithium-ion battery market could grow by 16% by 2026.
According to a feasibility study conducted by Rio Tinto, the Manono mines are home to nearly 45 million tons of reserves, with an estimated annual production capacity of 700,000 tons. The local subsoil would also contain 6.6 million tonnes of lithium. In December 2025, the mining agreement signed between Washington and Kinshasa integrated these deposits among the priority projects of the bilateral partnership.
Several actors share the project. The Australian company AVZ Minerals owns the majority in partnership with the Congolese Cominière. In 2021, the Chinese giant Contemporary Amperex Technology invested $240 million to acquire 24% of the capital. The American firm KoBold Metals, supported by Jeff Bezos, also secured licenses in Manono and showed its interest in the operation of the site.
A project awaited for years, plagued by controversies
The minister's announcement comes after several years of delays and tensions around the project. As early as 2023, the authorities suspended activities following accusations of alleged embezzlement of $70 million involving the Chinese company Zijin Mining and a fictitious non-governmental organization whose president sat on the board of directors of Cominière. These accusations helped block the actual start-up of the farm.
Other litigations have made the file heavier: non-compliance with the Community specifications and contested application of the retrocession of 0.3% of the mining fee to local development, as provided for by the 2018 Mining Code.
On the ground, the frustration is palpable. In May 2025, Abbé Moïse Kiluba, a member of Manono's civil society, denounced the immobility of the project. "Until then, things are skid even if they have already started installing the factory. The population is waiting and worried that the project to exploit its lithium is dragging on, "he said. A resident, Patrick Kasongo, had gone further: "We thought this project would succeed in promoting community projects on site in Manono, but we think it's a scam. "
Faced with these tensions, some civil society organizations have chosen to act upstream. The African Natural Resources Observatory, Afriwatch, launched in May 2025 a project entitled "Making the voice of communities around Manono heard", aimed at preparing riparian populations for the impacts and opportunities of future exploitation.
The exploitation of lithium represents a real hope for Manono and the province of Tanganyika, an area largely devoid of basic infrastructure. Expectations focus on access to electricity, the development of local entrepreneurship, water supply and road construction. It remains to be seen whether the deadline for the second quarter of 2026 announced by Minister Louis Watum will actually be kept, and whether the project will keep its promises this time for the communities that have been waiting for it for years.
