Bang on Cash. Hopefully this has reached a point now where the BoD have used up all of their avenues and now have a for sale sign sitting behind them.
Can't see how even if we ended up with the ML tomorrow, that there would be a smooth path to construction and production. I hope Nigel can finally see that as well.
China, US, EU. I don't care who cuts a deal with DRC Gov. Biggest lithium deposit in the world, surely we can fuck this off for a decent number and end all of our misery.

US plans Tanzania trade boost as Kamala Harris tours Africa
The US government announced plans on Thursday to boost exports to Tanzania, where Vice President Kamala Harris was on a visit as part of a diplomatic drive by Washington to strengthen ties with a continent where China and Russia increasingly hold sway.
Harris began her African tour on Sunday in Ghana before flying late on Wednesday to Tanzania’s commercial capital Dar es Salaam, where she is due to hold talks with President Samia Suluhu Hassan later on Thursday.
Her office announced plans to improve trade and other aspects of bilateral relations, including a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) and the government of Tanzania.
This will facilitate up to $500 million in US export financing to Tanzania to support exports of goods and services in sectors including infrastructure, transportation, digital technology, climate and energy security and power generation.
Harris’s office also highlighted US support for a plan by LifeZone Metals to open a new processing plant in Tanzania.
The facility will use low-emission technology to process nickel and other minerals mined in the East African country, with a view to start delivering battery grade nickel to the United States from 2026, Harris’s office said.
She is due to stay in Tanzania until Friday, when she will depart for Zambia, the final stop on her tour.
Her visit to Dar es Salaam marks a return to international engagement by Tanzania under President Hassan, after a period of isolationism under her predecessor John Magufuli, who cancelled all his ministers’ foreign trips and discouraged travel.
Hassan has won praise internationally for restoring political rights suspended by Magufuli, who died in office in 2021.
He had banned political rallies by anyone other than elected officials, cracked down on Tanzania’s LGBT community and arrested scores of opposition supporters.
He had also rejected Covid-19 vaccines and urged Tanzanians to put faith in prayer and remedies such as steam inhalation.
Hassan reversed the policies upon coming to power with a Covid-19 vaccination drive and earlier this month, Tanzania passed the milestone of fully vaccinating 50% of its population.

Australia risks losing pole position in critical minerals race
Australia is at risk of losing its head start in critical minerals processing because it has not yet laid down a national strategy, even as other governments are splashing out incentives to grab market share and bolster security.
Supplier of nearly half of the world’s lithium, Australia is also the world’s third-largest cobalt exporter and a significant producer of rare earths, copper, graphite, manganese and other minerals key to the global energy transition.
However, those minerals are largely processed in China, including into materials essential in batteries and magnets for products from electric vehicles to missiles.
Western nations want to ease its grip after supply was disrupted during the covid-19 pandemic.
Consultants say Australia should at least move to producing the chemicals and battery active materials needed for cell manufacturing.
“There are lots of discussions and talk on various domiciles wanting to move forward, but ultimately it’s all about actions,” Pilbara Minerals CEO Dale Henderson told Reuters.
The Grattan Institute, a think tank, estimates the critical minerals industry could add more than $400 billion to the economy by 2050, a bigger contribution than the coal industry, Australia’s no.2 export, today.
Industry executives are calling for a national strategy to speed that development by fast-tracking permitting, and offering preferential access to industrial land and subsidies, among other measures.
They want rapid action in light of new competition from the US, Canada and the European Union, which have laid out critical minerals strategies including billions of dollars in incentives.
BHP Group’s CEO Mike Henry told media last month Australia was at risk of other countries moving to “eat our lunch”.
Aid needed
With Canberra’s help, Australia needs to play to its strengths, which include having abundant renewable energy sources and being a reliable supplier to its global partners, consultants say.The government has provided more than A$250 million ($167 million) in support to Pilbara Minerals, the country’s biggest independent lithium miner, which approved a lithium expansion in Western Australia on Tuesday.
CEO Henderson said he was encouraged by federal and state efforts, but added: “Of course, the government could always do more.”
In the first ministerial round table on critical minerals strategy in three years, state and federal ministers last week agreed development of the sector was a national priority, discussed how to support growth, and committed to hold regular round tables, Resources Minister Madeleine King said.
King said on Wednesday a critical minerals strategy would be released “soon”.
However the government has not said when it would deliver its national battery strategy.
“There is a window of opportunity to become a key player in battery manufacturing here in Australia,” Industry Minister Ed Husic said last week.
“We cannot let it close.”
Funding hurdles
Australia has battled to overcome its reputation as a supplier of raw materials that fails at manufacturing, partly because its distance from major markets means it struggles to build scale to overcome high labour costs.While major players, including BHP, Tianqi Lithium Corp and Albemarle Corp, are building up operations that will turn ore into battery chemicals, for smaller players the key obstacle is funding.
Making the right product grades consistently is also a challenge. Bankers are wary of lending to a capital-hungry sector developing new technologies, especially to companies with small balance sheets, typical of the sector, executives said.
Cobalt Blue Holdings Ltd, with a market value of A$140 million, won a small grant and fast-track permitting status but still faces a funding shortfall and wants government assistance to secure a refinery site for its A$560 million project, investor relations manager Joel Crane said.
“One of the largest issues we face is project funding,” Crane said.
Arafura Rare Earths, capitalized at A$1.1 billion, is counting on loans from the Australian and German governments to fund more than half its A$1.8 billion Nolans mine and processing plants.
“The elements for an effective critical minerals strategy are in place. The challenge is to stitch them together and deliver. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity,” the Grattan Institute said in a report last month.

Wow a big Friday night happening out there!
Just home after watching my old home team Melbourne Storm smashing the bunnies and seeing that my team, the new power house of the Aussie rules - the mighty magpies thrashing the tigers! What else do you need in life!!!
Well let me tell you what I f..king need! And it's not to see One Direction the band playing at Suncorp Stadium, I want and I need, like most others, what direction we're at and what direction we're heading!
Imo some on here need to take a chill pill and get over what the BoD's are getting paid. Really,(all imo) this day and age if you have a position in a company with some importance (such as our BoD), $250k per year plus is not alot.
The guys & gal's holding
️ and 
signs in Sydney and Melbourne are earning more than that. Up here in sunny Brisbane , the bikies are earning four times that!! 
.I think we need to relax on the current announcement a little.
99% of us would of been happy with just an extension of the current extension. But they've thrown in 'the difficulties they're facing'! Well fuck me, if you all never thought that we were facing adversities, well fuck me! Atleast they have said it!
From what I know (& that's not much) things are happening (albeit slowly), and I'd like to say we're closer than ever - but that's not true, because we were more or less guaranteed more than a few times late last year (RS time) and February this year that ML was in the bag, only to be foiled at the last minute by the corrupt driven cu.ts!
We are close, and I believe NF & the board are doing everything correctly in our best interests. Alot here think that the BOD don't give a fuck about us shareholders, but I have to totally disagree.
I'll put it on the table - we have five directors (not including our well dressed chairman), I wouldn't (except for RB) do there jobs for $$ any amount at the moment. They have spent months away from their homes and loved ones and still they have no answer to avz's future! Pardon my French, but fuck me! Yet people on here, go on about the wages they're on!!
Imo, we'll all know where we're at in the coming week or two. Once again imo, if we don't know by then, I reckon we are Fucked!
Also can I say one more thing before I pass out with my knickers around my ankles, in my opinion ignore the winks on twitter & the f..kwits like geo and crew on here because no one has any idea what direction we will end up going down at the moment!!
Goodnight
Nells xxxx

Wake up & I’ll leave you to it I have never given you details nor will I. My info is not from the company and as I said we are closer to a resolution. Whether you belive that or not is immaterial. Get it?

You said ML was close a week ago, stop trying to pretend you know anything.
Literally NO ONE believes anything you say. Attention seeker.

Show me where I said that.
Just a point on your post. An AVZ ICC case against DRC in the event of a negative outcome wouldn't freeze the development of Manono. It would push on under a new licence, just as it did under our stewardship whilst MMCS' ICC case went ahead over the course of multiple years.
