But isn't the issue around what contained in the exploitation decree / licence offering and how it's contrary to what the mining code says
.....understanding is that decree issued ; Management were aware of the North / South split ( exploitation / exploration both under AVZ ) , weren't overly happy, but happy enough to roll with it and contimued trading only for the handbrake to be pulled ,as CAMIs North is being remembered / revoked and ready to accept new applications” plan was rolled out on the benchtop and AVZ were told ye nah, the direction came from Felix, but you guys can make an application too.
That direction never came from Felix and AVZs legal eagles went back to recite the mining code for the umpteenth time.
Ye I've heard the one about AVZ bringing them into court and bring told that the reason for the hold up was because CAMI we're still calculating the mining rights figures......do I believe that..? No, that's ridiculous in my view, how could that be the cause of 8 months of chain dragging
It's not difficult for someone to asking for the mining application and process book run a calculation on the time between decree and ML in a frame ; they’d all be less than a month, but AVZ IS 8+ months ; I'm pretty sure if that was just the case then DG could be ordered by Felix to press the buttons or find a job in Maccas, as all the data is there
If AVZ had agreed to run with what was presented, then we’d be trading now and no doubt the northern section would probably already have been locked away and registered under AJN/ Congo resources in lightening speed .
Did AVZ bring CAMI to court just to get the licence released and get the calculator excuse...was it before, during of after that when the revoked part flushed out..? .who knows
Now my reply to wombat, as to if ML would be granted if we just agreed to the cut ; I responded yes, I've zero doubt that at the time that would have been correct ; but obviously we don't know how far this has gone up the ladder and what one way valves have been opened I.e. AVZ standing firm and looking for what rightful Dathcom are entitled to and wanting North and South..... That's exactly what is be doing, fuck Klaus, DG, MoP, Zijin and Co. Fwiw if it came out that northern area was gone to others, the is be looking for the best opportunity to sell out in the short term / medium term; I've no doubts that the Chinese would fick AVZ up by opening up Carrier in no time ;they’d have their licence with a 10 page application in less time than it would take us to build the plant ; DG would make sure of that .
If AVZ had of brought CAMi to court to get DG to release the licence alone and the excuse was his calculator was broken ; the court would have issued a date for it to be resolved by...assuming all things were legit and in line with the codes....problem is from my understanding, it wasn't in line with the code and that's what's caused the 8 month + delay and not DGs calculator
Your comment also suggests that it probably wasn't just a court case To get the license release without any issues involved - “It's only a misunderstanding because Nigel was talking about the process before the ministerial decree. We can't have a court order to issue the licence anymore because we already legally have the licence that management agreed to.”
