I think AVZ management are happy either way as long as we get the whole tenement in one form or another. That is still a failure to understand the mining code imo but moving the project forward is more important to them at this stage.
We have taken CAMI to court to finalise the licence as it stands in the ministerial decree. Nigel said at the AGM 'Other steps in way of ML – CAMI have held up the invoicing, illegally in our view.' Which shows that they are willing to accept just the south as a PE if the north is retained by Dathcom as a PR.
Yes obviously what Mupande is saying in the court about calculating the surface rights is bullshit. But he can get away with saying whatever the fuck he wants because CAMI have autonomy and management allowed this 'dispute' to become a leveraging tool he can attempt to use. If AVZ ceded the north I'm sure his calculator would be working just fine.
AVZ management must ensure that we don't lose an inch of our tenement. It should be the whole area as a PE. Fuck going through applying for a new mining licence for the northern area. But if there must be a partition then we have to keep the north as a PR. If AJN somehow attained the north then Nigel would have to resign from AVZ because of the shares he holds in AJN. That is the entire reason for the suspension imo
Here is my post about a possible new ministerial decree or an amendment to the existing one from a few weeks ago:

From the AGM:
What happened after ML Decree, spurious yet we’re in suspension. What’s the main issue for ML – is it Dathomir, is Zijin ICC arbitration 15, dispute with exploration rights?
A: Lot of players in vogue here in country, lot of hatchet jobs being done – President had a bad view from being ill advised by detractors (e.g. we hadn’t done anything, didn’t have money experience, and were speculators). Detractors continuing, but slowly slowly we’re working to remove the blocks.
We knew Chinese would have a crack, but we did not expect parts of DRC government to be in on it?
A: Nor did we - “we thought it was gambit by Chinese groups to get project cheapest way. We weren’t aware it was also elements of the government complicit. We can’t go into it, but rest assured those people are being turned over within meetings with real information is being shared, and people put on the spot.
Collusion between all those 3 – namely Zijin, Jin Cheng, CAMI?
A: That would be astute thought
Issue that a portion of mines directorate said we hadn’t done the work on the northern tenement area, and shouldn’t get the north?
A: That’s not within the mining code. So 13359 should be retained in its entirety – however the northern area may need to come under a separate exploration tenement, even though that’s not the established process. – We know who’s behind this (e.g. DG CAMI)
What about AJN having a crack
A: “their premise is that we’ve returned the northern tenement to government. We haven’t. Draw a conclusion out of that”. I was a founding director and bought in as gold explorer. Found out late in the piece for a lithium plan – stepped away as soon as learned that. Shares bought before that lithium plan came into play. No conflict of interest.
Interview NF mentioned once mentioned once decree issued 10 day period before Court could issue the licence. What happened?
A: This was a misunderstanding. As soon as your documentation was in order and issued, this talk of periods was regarding the ministerial decree. Other steps in way of ML – CAMI have held up the invoicing, illegally in our view.
