AVZ Discussion 2022

[Mr_Tones83]

Best news we've had in a long time today ladies and gents
My first post here, but I'm a long-termer from way back (same username as the crapper, but that's gone to sh*t a long time ago, so I've been hanging on the sidelines for a while).

"The AVZ Minerals delegation was composed of Mr. Nigel Ferguson, CEO of AVZ Minerals, Mr. Landry Meya, President of the subcontracting association and CEO of AKATA RDC, Mr. Christian Lukusa, AVZ Consulting Lawyer Minerals and Manager of Momentum Attorneys & Advisors as well as Mr. Thierry Katembwe, CEO of Weza Investment."

Hadn't heard of Thierry before so did some digging to find out a bit about him and Weza. Not much to be found online, but looks to be a specialist in private-public partnerships and financing in DRC. A couple of profile links:

Maybe holders deserve to celebrate some minor victory once in a while spike, no denying Cami was a major hurdle and the network linked to the previous administration formed the basis of the AVZ detractors. A network that now appears to be crumbling.
Also we're now backed by the pending ICSID arbitration.

Still it'll be interesting what the detractors come out with next in the usual pattern.

Here they come starting with Tommy the fucktard twat!

I like to think that my expletive ridden rant about not knowing where Nige and Co were and they could be livin' it large in the Bahamas is what prompted the Nige to provide the market supporting evidence of exactly where he was and what he and co have been doing

Really the first bit of genuinely positive and verifiable evidence that we have received in relation to Manono for a VERY long time

Great news.....hopefully the crew can follow up quickly with more

Gun...jump?

Here they come starting with Tommy the fucktard twat!

It's insane that AFR let this level of bias continue.

It's insane that AFR let this level of bias continue.

Let's hope Ray owns some AVZ shares.

Lies can be disproven. The biggest trick 'journalists' play is omission of truth to fit their agenda. For example Tommy has never once reported any contents of the IGF report as his readers would immediately realise he is a biased dickhead.

At least he mentioned that the event occurred and his comment was factually reasonable. Looks like the MoP isn't the only one that is on a short leash.

Don't worry about a numerologist.....maybe check with an ophthamologist?

I reckon that's a 2 at the end not a Z

Wondering how good the news could have been if it was AVZ !!!!

I am fascinated with how Richardson is entwined in this. What does he have to gain from the demise of AVZ? It would be obvious to a Year 8 level literacy student that this commentary is bias and misrepresents the underlying message in this article. One fine day we will find out how he has ended up in this situation. Those at the AFR who are supposed to provide oversight on editorial standards are equally complicit. So disappointing that an Australian publication can so blatantly push a negative agenda on a company with so many every day Australians relying on a positive outcome for their hard earned investments. Disgraceful on so many levels.

The guy is a smarmy little self important shit bag, I'd wager it's personal for him simply off the back of some comments by AVZ shareholders. That and he's clearly backing shorters like boatman since the start.
It'd be extremely satisfying to see him and his ilk get their just desserts.

What do you want oxxa!
This is the best news in quite some time!
Consider that JFMK has been blocking AVZ for 15+ months with his little band of criminals. He was dug in so deep they couldn't even get rid of him when he was sacked last time. Seemingly had more power than the actual government.

haha, just a little ML would do fine... Yeah, great news, just being reserved

@Xerof

Fuck me you might even be right.
Like, here you made this fucking mess, and Lisette so did you, now both of you front court to explain yourselves!

 

[Dumdum]

Does all this palava mean that Manono will be way more famous than ever when the ML is issued and Zijin slink away with their tails between their legs? The spotlight on the AFR and the questions that will be asked might give extra exposure to the stock and send it flying.

It's a good news day guys, can we not spoil it by wasting space on that knob Tommy?

I hope @Xerof is right on this one. It would be true karma if he and the other cronies had to front the ICC.

Yes a good news day

But I have to say plenty of my other stocks are taking a bloody hammering today!

Hey all,

One thought I've been wanting to share about our recent meeting with CAMI.
Yes it's great that it happened. Awesome. But what really stands out to me is the SPEED at which it happened. That is what show's me we have support and that things are gonna move forwards.

It wasn't - 'oh new management, ok lets start gradually getting around to reviewing some of the shit the old team was up to'.
Within a week our management was meeting with the new Cami team. It's one of the first things they did!

That doesn't happen unless

1. They are already well informed of the situation, have had previous briefings/meetings/discussions
2. They are positive about it and it's a clear priority for them.
3. (Also - Nigel was there! In person! That takes time to arrange. so things must have been happening already)

That's my read of the situation. Looking forward to finally having some resolution on this saga. At the very least it's nice to finally be able to see the progress that's being made.

DRC: the Manono Lithium exploitation project at the center of exchanges between CAMI leaders and a delegation from AVZ Minerals​

In order to discuss the social and economic benefits for the DRC of the lithium exploitation project in the Manono by DATHCOM, a delegation from AVZ Minerals Ltd exchanged this Tuesday, August 15, with Paul Mabolia and Jacques Muyumba, respectively DG and DGA newly appointed head of the Mining Cadastre (CAMI).

According to a statement from AVZ Minerals Ltd, including a copy sent to MINES.CD, it is indicated that this meeting is "a singular importance", especially since it marks the resumption of work sessions between the Mining Cadastre and the Australian mining giant on the lithium exploitation project in the Manono.

"Paul Mabolia was fully satisfied with this initiative and expressed his enthusiasm for the prospects for future collaboration," noted the statement while explaining that the DG of the CAMI also expressed his willingness to "involve personally", under the supervision of the Ministry of Mines, to "guarantee the success of the Manono project".

The lithium exploitation project in the Manono is currently of paramount importance for the country, because it has the potential to "transform" the entire Greater Katanga region through the exploitation of lithium, a highly coveted ore.

"AVZ Minerals Ltd's unwavering commitment to the realization of this project is harmoniously combined with the vision of the Head of State, His Excellency Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, as well as with the senior management of the mining cadastre. This courtesy visit strengthens existing ties and lays the foundations for fruitful collaboration, aimed at achieving the ambitious objectives of the Manono project, "concluded the statement from AVZ Minerals Ltd.

At this meeting at the headquarters of the Mining Cadastre, the delegation of the Australian company was composed of the CEO of AVZ Minerals, Nigel Ferguson; with Landry Meya, President of the subcontracting Association and CEO of AKATA RDC; Christian Lukusa, consulting lawyer of AVZ Minerals and manager of Momentum Attorneys & Advisors as well as Thierry Katembwe, CEO

Here’s a better and more readable translation. The bolding is mine.

They were warmly received by the Director General, Mr. Paul Mabolia, and the Deputy Director General, Mr. Jacques Muyumba. This visit had a dual purpose. Firstly, it aimed to extend greetings from AVZ Minerals to the newly appointed management committee and, simultaneously, to discuss the social and economic implications for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) of the Lithium mining project in Manono by the company DATHCOM. The AVZ Minerals delegation included Mr. Nigel Ferguson, CEO of AVZ Minerals, Mr. Landry Meya, President of the subcontracting association and CEO of AKATA RDC, Mr. Christian Lukusa, Legal Counsel for AVZ Minerals and Manager of Momentum Attorneys & Advisors, and Mr. Thierry Katembwe, CEO of Weza Investment.

This meeting held significant importance, marking the resumption of work sessions between the Mining Cadastre and AVZ Minerals Ltd on the aforementioned project. For his part, the Director General of CAMI, Mr. Paul Mabolia, expressed full satisfaction with this initiative and conveyed enthusiasm for upcoming collaboration prospects. He also expressed his willingness to personally engage, under the supervision of the Ministry of Mines, to ensure the success of the Manono project.

As a reminder, this project is of paramount importance as it has the potential to transform the entire Grand Katanga region through the exploitation of lithium, a highly sought-after mineral.
