ASIC AND AUSTRALIAN TREASURY

[Dave Evans]

I would like to provide evidence of a scam involving Michael Carrick (formerly Fat Tail and MMGA) and Geoff Jones (Chairman of Global Lithium) in which misleading and deceptive emails were sent to institutional and sophisticated holders of AVZ shares.

The first scam email offer deceptively misled shareholders into thinking there was a takeover of AVZ Minerals.

The second scam email offer deceptively misled shareholders into thinking there was a share buyback by AVZ Minerals.

Both scams misleading, deceptive and illegal in nature, and involved Resource Capital Investments and Michael Carrick’s prior acquisition of the AVZ shareholder register.

Now the emails read “Resource Capital Investments acting as Trustee for Resource Investments Trust are offering to buy your shares”

This and further evidence of Chinese corporations attempting to roll the AVZ BOD can be shown to ASIC, FIRB (Australian Treasury) and the WA Supreme Court.

This latest scam began by targeting institutional, superannuation, and sophisticated investors but they have since targeted all investors.

The funds and share platforms that sent out emails should also be accountable for their malpractice about a company takeover and then a share buyback as some shareholders have been caught out by these scams.

This follows on from Michael Carrick, Ty Dudbrook, Alliance Advisors, Leonard Math and Peter Huljich working with Chinese entities including Zijin, Lithium Plus, CATH and Yibin to overthrow the AVZ BOD in 2023.

Geoff Jones (Global Lithium) with strong ties to Zijin, CATH, Lithium Plus and Yibin has joined Carrick in this latest attempt to acquire AVZ shares for $0.01 by also making unsolicited offers to buy shares following Carrick’s access to the AVZ shareholders register.

At least the shareholders are on to these entities quickly and have shared this information

Another scam email that was fraudulently sent to a shareholder who passed it on to me today

 

[Dave Evans]

Geoff Jones has been trying to acquire shares in AVZ through an unsolicited share offer that first claimed there was a takeover of AVZ and then a share buyback.

He is the Chairman of Chinese founded company Global Lithium whose close ties include a number of Chinese companies including Suzhou (now called Canmax), CATH, Yibin, Lithium Plus and Zijin, who all banded together to try and overthrow the AVZ Minerals BOD last year.

Geoff Jones has joined up with Michael Carrick (former Fat Tail and MMGA) to fraudulently acquire shares from AVZ shareholders for $0.01.

Evidence points to Carrick (who acquired the AVZ share register in 2023) using the share register illegally and collaborating with Geoff Jones to illegally acquire AVZ shares.

Global Lithium has blocked X accounts from replying to their posts with information about the latest deceptive attempts to acquire AVZ shares.

Information pertaining to the Geoff Jones (Global Lithium) involvement can be posted on Global Lithium’s LinkedIn page as well as passed on through these other lithium and Government related X (Twitter) accounts

The two major Australian Government departments this scam should be reported to
