AVZ Discussion 2022

[Mr Inappropriate]

Today I contacted the Hon Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs about DRC corruption and the orchestrated campaign to steal AVZ's resource at Manono. This issue falls within her area of responsibility.

I used the contact form below:

Contact Senator or Member

Your message has been forwarded to the Senator/Member. Thank you for your time.

www.aph.gov.au

When writing to Australian Ministers, keep your message and question brief and on-point, provide background and use short sentences. Oh, and no expletives.

Cheers
F

I wrote to Penny 3-4 weeks ago. No Response as yet…

Mate, early days yet.

I once wrote to Bill Shorten when he was Minister for Supperannuation. At the time Wayne Swan was Treasurer (Haha, what was I thinking). It took a year for Minister Shorten to respond.

Give it a few more weeks. If you decide to send a follow-up email, request that Minister Wong respond, rather than her department. In that way she will acquaint herself with the issue. If her department responds, it is very unlikely that Minister Wong will read anything about it.

Cheers

The Court of Auditors promises to hunt down predators of public finances

The president of the Court of Auditors, Jimmy Munganga, announced this Thursday, March 9, the hunt for predators of public finances.

It also promises to fight against corruption whose perpetrators are recruited among ministers, public officials and sometimes shine in the award of public contracts without respecting the rules.

They expose themselves to sanctions when the time comes.

He said it on the occasion of the judicial return of the Court of Auditors to the People's Palace in the presence of the President of the Republic, the ministers who are members of the government, the deputies and senators and all the heads of the constituted bodies of the country. .

Jimmy Munganga focused his speech on the role of the Court in repressing mismanagement.

Detecting the mismanagement, the first president of the Court deplores the delay in the transmission of certain reports, the finance law voted and that on the rendering of accounts to the Court.

“These faults and so many others have been erected into management mode,” he said.

As regards the Court's annual report, it highlights the seriousness of the mismanagement.

It contains recommendations proposing certain corrections, informs the public about the management of public finances.

A second ceremony concerned the presentation to the Head of State, the two Presidents of Parliament and the Prime Minister of the annual report of the Court's activities for the 2020-2021 financial years.


EU and DRC announce deal on rare minerals like copper and cobalt

The European Union and the Democratic Republic of Congo have committed to launch negotiations for a partnership on the exploitation of rare and strategic minerals, including copper and cobalt.

A so-called win-win memorandum of understanding and a roadmap will be announced in the coming months around cooperation and investment projects in a sector dominated in the DRC by China.

The EU is counting on this partnership to accelerate its ecological transition.

In order to achieve the objective of carbon neutrality in 2050, the EU has embarked on a so-called historic shift in its industrial production and wants to strengthen its supply policy for rare and strategic minerals.

The other challenge is to reduce its dependence on certain countries like China, where these minerals are currently processed, explain EU sources.

The challenge is also significant for the DRC, which aims to develop a local value chain and a market around the battery, electric vehicle and renewable energy industry.

A position that corresponds to the EU's offer, according to Jutta Urpilainen, European Commissioner for International Partnerships:

“We want to create value in the DRC, local added value.

Not just exporting your raw materials to Finland, Europe and then refining them in Europe.

According to her, the approach will be different from that proposed by other partners of the DRC, such as China not to mention:

“We don't want to create dependency, nor do we want neocolonialism.

We really want to create local value and we want to create a win-win partnership.

According to the EU ambassador posted in Kinshasa, the advantage for the DRC is also to benefit from possible support for the production of green energy for its industries.

Excellent post Frank, will share on HC.

Seems like another Australian Lithium player in Africa is under short attack

This time it's Atlantic Lithium - ASX ticker "A11" the Lithium hopeful in Ghana that has agreements in place with Piedmont

Piedmont is actually the ulitmate entity subject to the short attack but the report published by short fund Blue Orca raises allegations about Atlantic Lithium which could potentially impact the SP of Piedemont

The management of Atlantic has officially stated it considers the report to be 'factually untrue"

Atlantic (through subsidiaries) has a current application for a mining license lodged with Ghana's Minerals Commission in relation to the company's Ewoyaa Lithium Project

Any of this sound familiar to AVZ shareholders????


I had "A11" on my lithium radar around October last year when it was 60c and it subsequently moved to 90c within a very short timeframe.

Some might recall I posted on this company on the thread below

At the time I chose not to purchase A11 (or any mining/lithium interests in Africa) due to my experience with AVZ

I did some research though into Ghana and levels of corruption and political stability and it did seem somewhat "better" than the climate in the DRC

Anyway long story short Atlantic's and Piedemont's share prices have both suffered as a direct result of the short report/attack....particularly Atlantics which has now dropped below it's issue price

Blue Orca appears to be a little more transparent than those low-lifes at Boatman Capital but the methodology is exactly the same

Hard enough researching and selecting the right investments without these types of pricks publishing whatever they want and manipulating the market

Marius blowing smoke until 25mins they begin discussing AVZ.

Well, that was a tough read, but when Marius finally got into the topic of "VZ " ....( AVZ ), he really went to bat hard and laid out the facts of the matter well....

a) Zijin 15% agreement was unlawful, AVZ was not invited as per ROFR

b) Zijin 15% agreed payment $33m was a rip off of the state finances

c) AVZ certainly does have the technical capacity to build RD..........with all the AVZ bod having 30+ yrs in mining experience.

d) AVZ certainly does have the financial capability to construct, ..........$800m at their disposal compared to the $500 / 550m capex required

f) Marius and AVZ bod ready and waiting to present the case to head of state


What really blows my trumpet in all of this.............not a peep of MCS, DATHOMIR, ZIJIN bullshit for 4 yrs whilst AVZ was proving up the resource to DFS capacity plus technical favourability , spending $85m in the process, then all of a sudden...

Whats even more bull shit is AVZ has been requested to create harmony within Dathcom participants as a pathway going forward even tho our rights have been corrupted by those other participants and we still havnt had a meeting with head of state!!!! ............


10 months on .............do you even know the true facts Felix ?

Or are you still being led down the rabbit hole of your traitorous, corrupt ministers that should have been dumped 3 yrs ago ?

This video was done a bit more than 1 year ago..............note the heading, WITH FULL SUPPORT OF DRC GOVT

A complete warm and fuzzy..........a cock teaser if you will.

Where / when did it all go wrong ????

At the recent AGM, Nigel mentioned he had a notion that the chinese would play silly buggers, but was completely blind sighted that members of the DRC govt would be complicit.

Now my question, why would NF have a notion that the chinese would play silly buggers in the first place ?

Could it be he was well aware of Dathomir, Zijin plot well in advance ?

But because it was " spurious in nature with no material effect"..........not worthy of mentioning ?


CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE..........LISTING RULE 3.1

entity must disclose all information concerning it that it becomes aware of from any source and of any character, if a reasonable person would expect the information to have a material effect on the price or value of its securities.


I might be filthy with the gutless, useless wanker that is FT , but that doesnt mean i am only isolating my thoughts there ....

If everything goes pineapple for us long term retail plebs who have been kept in the dark all this time, then there is going to be MUTINY when it comes to our AVZ bod.........


No doubt.

Actually I just checked and the market is down about 2.28%

I'm only down 1.99%

I'm taking that as a win!

This whole narrative they have created about Felix not knowing the real truth is a load of Bull Sh1t . Just an excuse for him to stay out of it and let his corrupt ministers deal with it . IGF report has been out for months . He's not interest .

Agree : does anyone remember the corruption in Indonesia that came to the world's attention in the late 1990,s. Can't quite remember who was running that ?

And who could forget the Malaysian Sovereign Wealth Find 1 (1MDB). In 2015, Malaysia's then-Prime Minister Najib Razak channeled over RM 2.67 billion (US$700 million) from the fund into his personal bank accounts, and he thought it was OK.

By that standard, the DRC is barely corrupt at all (ha fucking ha, the DRC is corrupt to the core).
