wowsers... for saying he likes the sound of his own voice.... which is pretty hard to refute...
Also shows the value in holding firm against initial takeover offers to get a better price.
From memory, Albermarle intially offered TO of LTR around 2.50 - 2.60, which was swiftly rejected.
So LTR bod holding out for a measly 20% extra and accept ?....
They sold out their shareholders for cheap, whilst stating they were going to production and beyond .....
Wait for the love heart pumper ANATOL to provide a salvo........

So Jin Cheng postponed the last hearing about 1 month before the scheduled hearing date - we should be hearing from them very soon with another excuse. It will be "early October" in a months time. I hope there Is a massive penalty for postponing/cancelling an ICC case close to the hearing date?
According to Jens (and few others ) Jin Cheng/ Zijin are out .
Winenut
Go AVZ!
Winenut
Go AVZ!
I don't know how they can confirm Jin Cheng are out?
Neverthless from the wording from the ICC on the previous request for extension/postponement I don't think Jin Cheng will have any option to delay again
My feeling is they will have to front up and face inevitable defeat or withdraw the action completely and crawl back under their rock
But what would I know with my lowest of low IQ

Let's hope so Wino, we're all counting on it.
The fact it's taken some 16+ months to even get to the trial is mind boggling, just like so many other aspects of this shitshow.

Old fat boy with his cone shaped head, greasy moustache and gold necklace….
Thought you didn’t look here. Shareholders on this forum have done more to support AVZ than you have fat boy
You just keep perving on young girls, spreading your political agendas and spending your wife’s money

The government changed their mind about letting them do DSO a couple months before the first shipment and is probably trying to wrestle another 10% free carry out of them.... this is why African investments always have a discount.

US data analytics firm S&P Global in its recently released report revealed that China is expected to continue to increase its influence in developing countries over key minerals such as lithium and cobalt.
According to S&P Global, this growing influence comes as Beijing faces more restrictive foreign investment policies in various developed markets.
“China's reach is quietly growing behind minerals critical to a wide range of products that will shape the future, with companies from upstream to downstream, from miners to battery makers to battery makers. electric vehicles, everyone is embarking on this race,” explained the American company.
By continuing to build significant market positions as owners, producers or buyers, China's influence over critical minerals could "deepen and broaden" not only lithium, but also other minerals.
This situation is often encountered in the field of rare earths, of which Beijing now provides approximately 60% of the extraction, 91% of the refining and 94% of the production of magnets.
"Another example is taking place in the nickel market, where China's exit strategy under the Belt and Road Initiative and Indonesia's 2020 nickel ore export ban have prompted companies to invest billions of dollars in the Indonesian nickel supply chain in recent years,” the S&P Global report said.
As a reminder, the report from this American data analysis company meets the conclusions of a study published by the Green Finance & Development Center at Fudan University in Shanghai, which predicted an excess in 2023 of the previous record of 17 billion of US dollars – established five years ago – in terms of Chinese investments in the metals and mining sectors abroad.

Lithium players fight to break through and meet demand for electric cars
Last updated: 2023/09/03 at 11:26MiningPublished September 3, 2023
On the outskirts of El Dorado — the heart of Arkansas' 1920s oil boom — a company backed by Koch Industries Inc. is seeking to dramatically accelerate the extraction of a critical battery metal to wean the world off fuels fossils, while proving the naysayers wrong in the process. .
Standard Lithium Ltd. works on the breakthrough inside a white warehouse near a huge chemical plant run by the German company Lanxess AG which supplies the facility with brackish sewage. A cluster of pipes and tanks in the demonstration plant transforms brine into a lithium compound in days instead of the year or more that traditional recovery methods take.
The company is one of dozens working to commercialize technology to extract lithium directly from brine, paving the way for a new source to supplement hard rock mines and massive lithium basins. evaporation that currently provide battery metal to the world. The outcome of these efforts is expected to shape the future of the sector, bringing either the promise of plentiful supply or setbacks that irk investors for years.
These advances are collectively known as direct lithium extraction, or DLE. They promise to be cheaper, faster and more environmentally friendly than traditional lithium production in South America, which holds about half of the world's reserves of the silver-white metal. DLE would also unlock new supplies in North America, including recovering the metal from salt water produced by oil drilling.
“This is an evolutionary step in the lithium industry,” Robert Mintak, CEO of Standard Lithium, said in an interview. “If we want to have a supply chain that can meet the demands of the lithium industry, DLE will be one of the necessary tools. »
Throughout the global electric vehicle supply chain, this new way of extracting lithium is being touted as the solution to increasing production while protecting the environment. Billions of dollars are flowing into what Goldman Sachs Group calls “potentially game-changing technology,” not unlike the disruptive impact of shale on the oil industry.
However, some producers and industry experts are cautious. Despite the growth in testing and development, these techniques remain relatively unproven on a large scale and could take years to perfect. After all, Texas entrepreneur George Mitchell experimented with hydraulic fracturing for decades before finding the right method to economically extract shale gas.
Lithium prices hit record highs last year as growing demand from the electric vehicle boom led to tighter markets. Prices have since fallen amid a steady flow of new production from Australia, but remain high thanks to an optimistic outlook for electric vehicle growth. An expected deficit from 2025 has startups, mining companies and even big oil companies looking for new ways to expand supply.
After years of intense testing and development, the world is on the verge of knowing if DLE works on a commercial scale.
Oil and gas heavyweights like Exxon Mobil Corp. are creating companies to extract lithium from oil field brine. The Rio Tinto group, the world's second largest miner, is testing extraction methods in Argentina, where it is developing a lithium project. Meanwhile, Koch and Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD Co. are already commercializing DLE technologies.
A handful of commercial projects are under construction, including Eramet SA's Centenario plant in Argentina, which aims to be fully operational by mid-2025. In China, Sunresin New Materials Co. already operates such plants.
Much of this buzz can be attributed to the growing attention to environmental and social issues in the mining sector.
For years, desert mines in northern Chile operated by SQM and Albemarle Corp. were considered the cleanest and simplest way to produce this metal. They pump large quantities of brine under a salt pan, which is then stored in giant ponds for over a year. As the water evaporates, the resulting concentrate is processed in nearby factories and sent to Chinese and Korean battery manufacturers.
As simple as it is cost effective, this process uses far less fresh water, chemicals and energy than hard rock mining as practiced in Australia, the main producer. But the evaporation method means billions of gallons of brine are vaporized into one of the driest places on Earth, which some say poses a threat to wildlife, like the flamingos that inhabit this landscape. similar to that of Mars.
DLE aims to address these issues by using equipment such as filters and membranes to directly remove lithium and allow what remains to be returned to underground brine lakes. The process is much faster and uses less space than evaporation ponds. All of this would reduce the impact on fragile desert ecosystems – a solution acceptable to automakers and their investors as well as local communities and governments.
Bolivia and Chile impose the DLE to exploit their lithium wealth, an important measure given that the former has the largest potential deposits in the world and the latter the most economically exploitable reserves.
Goldman Sachs estimates that if 20-40% of brine projects in Latin America used DLE, it could increase the region's lithium production by around 35% from 2028, an 8% increase in supply. worldwide.
Yet the effects of brine re-injection have not been properly studied, and the efficiency of DLE plants must be weighed against the need for more fresh water and energy than evaporation. The Salar Blanco project in Chile, for example, estimates that it will use three to eight times more fresh water.
“The future of DLE technologies is still uncertain and long-term feasibility needs to be assessed,” SQM said in a written response to questions from Bloomberg. The world's second-largest producer is currently negotiating a new contract under Chile's recently announced public-private model, which includes a requirement for more sustainable practices.
Joe Lowry, the veteran industry consultant nicknamed Mr. Lithium, sees DLE as a technique for unlocking new sources in North America. But in South America it should be seen as a way to improve rather than replace the evaporation method, he said, estimating that less than 15% of global production will come from DLE over the next decade.
Meanwhile, several oil companies are supporting efforts to recover lithium from petroleum brines. Occidental Petroleum Corp. said it was exploring lithium extraction from brines, while Imperial Oil Ltd. owns a 5% stake in Canadian mining company E3 Lithium Ltd., which is testing DLE technology in Canada's oil sector.
Koch, the fuel-to-fertilizer giant, sees direct extraction as a way to help fuel a market expected to quintuple by 2030 as adoption of electric vehicles accelerates. DLE is an "easy button, if you will, for the lithium industry to be able to generate a huge amount of supply in areas where it probably couldn't otherwise," said Garrett Krall, director of strategic initiatives at Koch Engineered Solutions.
Koch's technology is on full display at Standard Lithium's demonstration plant in El Dorado. Koch has even invested $100 million in the Canadian company, which plans to begin building a commercial DLE facility at the Arkansas site in early 2025. CEO Mintak says he expects full production by 2026.
For DLE skeptics, some small companies have become lightning rods for questions about technology. Short seller Blue Orca Capital expressed doubts about the viability of Standard Lithium's technology in November 2021. About two months later, Hindenburg Research disclosed a short position in the stock in a report criticizing the Vancouver-based company . Standard Lithium has called these reports false and misleading.
In an industrial park in the suburbs of Santiago, Summit Nanotech Corp. is preparing a facility to test brine from northern Chile. The Calgary-based company is using a patented material to absorb the metal and is investigating methods of re-injection, applying knowledge gleaned from Alberta's oil fields. Direct mining seems inevitable given the large footprint of evaporation ponds and the community opposition they elicit, said director of geosciences Stefan Walter.
"It's going to take time," he said. “It's going to be difficult, it's going to require a lot of capital. But all new innovative technologies are a bit like that.

The controversy that swells on the now Primera affair forced me to read studiously the 57 pages of the contract binding Primera to my country to enlighten my religion. I had to reread entire passages several times to be sure I understood correctly, drawing on all my expertise in hermeneutics. That's it, my opinion is made: the DRC has been rolled in flour for the nth time by the very people responsible for looking after its strategic interests.
This soap opera Primera reminds me of the wise words of David Lodge in La vie en mute which I use as the title: deafness is a kind of foretaste of death. A member of the nation, son of South Kivu, recently protested against the Congolese-Emirati joint venture by addressing a written question to the government in the National Assembly. The elected representative of the people intended to ensure the interests of the Congolese state and people by taking offense at a contract that sold off the country's mining resources by granting undue advantages to a company with a ridiculous capital of 20,000 USD for a long period of 25 years in a situation of quasi-monopoly on gold exports, in particular.
His voice was the unexpected echo of a global herald, hero of the oppressed, Professor Denis Mukwege, gynecologist from Panzi, whose fight for human rights and, more especially, the rights of victims of sexual violence, earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018. Panzi's doctor commented on the words of the people's elected representative on the contract favoring Primera for its 20,000 dollars of capital contributed to the DRC. It hurt him. He unleashed the wrath of the government nomenclatura who, instead of preparing and giving their response to the deputy in the hemicycle, deployed his ministerial duo flanked by a presidential advisor to respond to journalists in an arena unknown to parliamentarians. Answer a question that was not asked, to people who did not question you and in a place where you are not expected,
This descent into the arena raises questions about both form and content. In terms of form, we can note: the format chosen, a press conference instead of a question-and-answer session; the chosen location, a conference room instead of the hemicycle; the performative actors, two ministers and a presidential deputy chief of staff without the minister of mines, even less the prime minister as chief executive; the chosen public, an audience of media professionals instead of national deputies. I concede. It was only a session (open to the public) of rehearsal of the theatrical troupe before the performance of the play in front of the national representation. To ensure that the roles are well mastered and will be played well. Which would probably explain the unexpected presence of an intruder,
Basically, it's even more astonishing. Inconsistencies in the figures for gold exports to South Kivu in 2022 (27kg? 38? 40kg? etc.): which figure to retain? The amounts spent by the company (several million US dollars) are colossal in comparison to the ridiculous capital of the company (some 20 thousand US dollars): how could a company worth 200,000 USD be able to mobilize so many millions? where do these unexpected millions come from? The IGF helps to trace the funds spent. Too generous taxation: 0.25% tax per year! Abyssal and historic exemptions for 25 years (a whole generation!) How and why to grant exemptions over 25 years to a small business worth 20. 000USD (not a single Congolese could raise and invest this sum?) while our poor old mothers are forced to pay a daily tax of 500 to 1000 FC, or from 6USD to 12USD per month to (re)sell their products base (cassava leaves, bananas, cassava, etc.) as part of survival? What social justice for local entrepreneurship! It's reinforced concrete!
Pretending that the PN is supported by the all-powerful right-thinkers who have never condemned the Eastern Kingdom and alleging that denouncing the Joint Venture is equivalent to encouraging trafficking and mining fraud towards this cursed Kingdom of the Congolese is a serious shortcut deafness and blindness. The hospital really and frankly doesn't care about charity! And yet, for decades, Dr. Mukwege has been fighting, like Don Quixote, for an end to violence, for the international criminal court aimed precisely at prosecuting these traffickers and stopping impunity, for the Mapping report, often at the risk of his own life. life. Here is vilified a man who has everything to lead a quiet life, in any beautiful place on the planet, who lives in total denouement, in a Spartan setting, providing holistic care to the poorest and most vulnerable. 20,000 households benefit annually from its aid for socio-economic reintegration!
The worst cynicism is to see this son of a pastor and Pentecostal pastor accused or even suspected of being an instrument of the Westerners by the concretism which has long magnified the West, multiplying journeys with great reinforcement and bleeding of finances public to beg for alms which have still not yet arrived in the widow's mite. This is unacceptable and mind-blowing, especially when we know that the country was even ruled for years by a hammer, representative of the first Western (and world) power, the country of our mother's other relative that we call Uncle Sam very affectionately. That the son of Kaziba, doctor director of Panzi, is awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine, recognizing in passing the right to treat his loved ones, is still okay even if it is beyond me.
Would the top of the national pyramid then be struck by serious deafness-blindness coupled with amnesia? It would have been better if it were rather and above all the loss of speech like the Silent, a mute wall, which only too rarely regains speech.
Had he recommended speaking only when you are sure that your words are louder than silence? The top, however, seems to have been diligently at his school and to have assimilated his lessons well to the point of applying them masterfully today and making the instructor or the manufacturer green with envy. The evils from which the top of the pyramid suffers seem very deep and numerous.
From then on, I better understand the call for help from millions of Congolese to the doctor who repairs women to take intensive care of the seriously ill Congo and restore his soiled and lost dignity. Doctors have always been interested in politics. It is, in fact, their vocation to come to the aid of their fellow human beings and to try, in all circumstances, to improve their lot. Their participation in political life has taken on the most diverse characteristics over the centuries. Doctors are often excellent statesmen steeped in humanism.

They did not sow confusion in the minds of their countrymen or even men. There is, however, here in this case, a confusion of gender or size: the PCA of the award-winning gold would be a financial adviser to a member of the commando responsible for neutralizing soldier Mukwege. It is whispered in the sacred mountain that the adventure of Congolese gold disputed by the deputy of life (which we have almost forgotten as the shots are centered on a main target which should however be secondary) would be the result of an address book of a capricious and bloodthirsty brother in the cold, what am I saying?, so angry that he did not hesitate to shoot anything that moved in certain eastern mining lands. Taking many lives.
On the other hand, the crossfire of the trio, far from enlightening public opinion on the shunned contract, rather added to the confusion, testifying to a desire for distraction and dissimulation, even to a certain ignorance (of the subject of the day, the audience, the examiner, the question of the test).

Therefore, they cannot regret either of them. They will never repent, even in their final resting place.
Deafness, especially coupled with blindness, is always ultimately morbid, whatever the enriched opportunist may say, fattened by lucrative contracts and clogged in his ivory tower.
