AVZ Discussion 2022

[TDITD]

As much as I wish it were Graeme, the most likely truth is that it isn't. This is Mark Bristow, here he is in South Africa at Indaba, he looks basically the same as in the photo (which does look similar to Graeme)
. Has the same tie pattern as in the photo taken on that same day.... Unfortunately it's very likely to be Mark and not Graeme.
(We don't even know where Graeme is) View attachment 29157

Well with how hostile the DRC Government has treated AVZ, they would probably bundle Graeme into a plane back to DRC to arrest him for fraud

 

[Hemicuda]

Pretty sure they are there @Hemicuda

So we do or we don’t? Seems like the consensus is we don’t? Have I missed something? Or just another day with another false hope being pumped around?

It is on a public notice note from the law firm, Amsterdamand & Partners representing the Mauritius company MMCS Strategic 1 ("MMCS"), which lists the names of companies and individuals who claim to have rights and interests in the Manono lithium project in the province of Tanganyika in the DR Congo, which our editorial staff came across.
The note was published on October 4, 2022 on the law firm's website, the full text of which is as follows:
MANONO LITHIUM RIGHTS OWNERSHIP PUBLIC NOTICE

Press release from the law firm, Amsterdamand & Partners, of which MMCS asserts its ownership rights to the Manono lithium project:
And all other non-transparent intermediaries are hereby notified:
This law firm is acting for MMCS Strategic 1 (“MMCS”) in connection with the illegal expropriation of license PE 12202 by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”). This license allows the exploitation of a mineral deposit in the regions of Manono and Kitotolo (the “Manono Project”). Since this illegal raid was carried out against them in 2016, MMCS has consistently asserted its ownership of Manono through public statements, commercial arbitrations and direct correspondence. Various groups claimed ownership of Manono, attempting to profit from it or assert control over it during this time. Please note that until our rights have been asserted, MMCS has true, complete and proper title to the Manono.
MMCS therefore reserves all rights against those who wrongly and surreptitiously assert or attempt to assert or attempt to assert control and benefit from Manono. MMCS cautions all parties who may be interested in the Manono Project to exercise due diligence with respect to claims that any party other than MMCS makes regarding rights to the Manono Project. Govern yourself accordingly.

Ah mate, I read you and often think the same. I guess my suffering is a little more verbose. To be Frank (not the man though I miss him). I believe we are going to be fine. I still see us going to mine I still see us succeeding and I’m in until we do. Disappointed with DRC and managements lack of tact. But I think we will see the dream come to reality in 3 years or a tasty buy out. Either way thanks for all your posting on this whole journey. It’s been stabilising.

Yeah I get it.......

Fair enough indeed

Onward and upward

Chocks away!!

In 1777, Samuel Johnson said "Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully"

When we look at the DRC's recent decision to cancel the ministerial decree awarding Dathcom a mining licence, that's a bit like an impending hanging for our management team. Based on their 2022 remunerations, particularly the number of free performance shares held, I am sure they are aware they have a lot to lose and will be acutely focused on this unfolding issue.

In 2022, AVZ dished out approx $2m in salaries and consulting fees to top mgt, plus 37,825,000 free performance shares (table 1), plus GOK how much in legal and other consulting fees.

And this is what it bought us: Two years behind schedule, construction at a standstill, suspended from trading for eight months, an impasse with an increasingly hostile DRC govt, under seige by 1.4 billion Chinese and a German, and everyone thinks we are the bad guys.

All we need now is a flood and a plague of locusts.

Cheers

These sort of posts used to get us all frothing but the longer this goes on the more it seems we aren't being included. I thought Tommy Twothead was the only kid that never got the party invites but it might be AVZ too now.

That's not another candidate for the individual in the picture we are thinking may or may not be Graeme is it!?

Sam, you probably remember this coming out last year as well as I do. I’m sure I’ve even posted it on another thread and it seems Kiki might have got a bit behind on this…. Pretty sure the case has just been heard at the ICC though we haven’t heard a full account of the result since Cominiere managed to get their lawyers there at the twelfth hour.

@Hemicuda the team are over there at the moment

I’m going to relax in front of the TV now but before I do I want to thank all those here who whinge, complain and dump all their negativity on the here because they think it makes them feel better….

Guess what, it doesn’t because you are all still here doing it and all it does do is makes others feel like shit

You bunch of fucktards

Thanks for introducing the new word TITS

Any chance Graeme dramatically lost more hair and developed a double chin since November of last year ?...

Actually, i am sure this is a old photo, i remember him being alot uglier than that......which corresponds with your snap shot.

Aaagh...........what the fuck do i know!!

 

[Shire]

I’ve just written to the US State Department. There’s a 99.992% chance they tell me to go fuck myself, but one has to try...

Great work! I don’t understand why the Australian gov isn’t all over this shopping AVZ. $100M aussie dollars spent, a $2.7B company and a key strategic material….

Battery production is set to pass 1TWh.​

We need 300TWh all up to be ‘fully sustainable’, Elon Musk says​

Although the supply of lithium-ion batteries is increasingly going to new markets such as energy storage, the electric vehicle market remains the biggest market with Rho Motion forecasting EV sales to rise by more than 14 million units this year, from 10.2 million in 2022.

By 2030, battery supply is expected to hit almost 4TWh, a drop in the ocean to Elon Musk’s predictions that the world will need 300TWh of battery capacity to be fully sustainable.

“That would require annual battery production rising to 6.7TWh by 2030 and 11.8TWh in 2040 – a thirty-fold increase from today’s levels by mid-century,” BMI explains.

“That would require a twenty-fold increase in lithium supply to 12 million tonnes of lithium LCE and a similar increase in nickel sulphate to 8 million tonnes.

“Cobalt supply would have to increase by five times to 1 million tonnes of cobalt sulphate, and manganese by over twenty-fold to 2.5 million tonnes of manganese sulphate.”

Where will the battery production come from?​

China is set to lead the charge with an estimated 78% of production this year, followed by 11% from the rest of Asia, 6% from Europe and 5% from North America.

However, the growing battery sector continues to be threatened by expectations that global lithium supply will enter deficit relative to demand by 2025.

New-York based FitchGroup says Chinese manufacturers are more likely to seek foreign supply to meet future needs than rely on an accelerated expansion of domestic production given the environmental scrutiny facing new projects and intensive use of water for lithium extraction.

They were always coming for a Slice / Share / Split of Manono Pie any old how / way possible

The Writing was on the Wall from the beginning imo

Food for thought

Cheers @Shire. I don’t know whether the Australian government is assisting, but I’m near certain that the US government is well across it and the strategic implications. Plus they carry a big hammer, so I’m sure they carry far greater diplomatic weight than us Aussies.
