getting very bloody interesting all round
right now managements main agenda needs to be to protect that 24% until the government can give us a legal assurance in writing that we own 75%, and if they're smart then that's exactly why we're staying in a halt until June 1(could be a chance of saving us $20m).
it's clear we are getting attacked from every angle known to man, and seeing the lengths they've gone to thus far, I don't trust any of them, that includes CATL, and with CATL having links to Zijin and in direct talks with the government while we seem to be getting ignored(im sure we're not and its just a case of nothing can be said officially yet until they've worked out how it can be tackled), but yeah I don't like it
The DRC has crooks in almost every department it seems, then we have boatman who I'd suggest is working in collusion with another large Chinese/Hong-Kong fund who's shorting, and the report itself is probably from Zijin and Dathomir themselves who are conspiring with the fund to attack the SP. So Zijin/Dathomir make the report, they give it to the large said hedge fund who will make a short attack who will in turn pass it on to some other smaller player like Robertson or some other wannbe gangster who will release, and boom. What I don't like is how vulnerable we are right now with Huayou at the top of our register who lets say could come from behind with a knife, then we have Zijin coming from the left, Dathomir from the right, and knowing all the connections CATH could easily come from straight in front of us with a death blow who are already sitting at the top of the register as well, add to that all their easily bribed butt-boys in the DRC doing their bidding coming from the top with illegal "legal rulings" as has been seen in the kanagroo courts already. All these crooks are on the Chinese pay roll Im sure.
I'm sorry but CATH deal can't go through, unless we are willing to not cry poor if we end up with 36%, the chinese on AVZ board, and then a shitty takeover offer of AVZ once they've finished the short attack and they'll end up with the whole bloody lot, we are way too vulnerable in my eyes and it's time to put shields up(well that should of been done long ago, and perhaps was, we dont know everything). I mentioned similar previously more so as a laugh but also food for thought, but now I think fuk a duk, this attack is huge, this is war
Felix needs to come to the rescue asap, he cannot rely on the men in any department to protect justice on this, and we cannot sell 24% until we have legal assurances in writing that have been vetted over and over and over by multiple international lawyers, and even if we retain majority ownership then and Felix gets the boot then I can tell you now we will be wishing we let the Chinese on board, because good chance the other dodgey fucks will say it has to be state owned, then move the Chinese in, why? brown papers bags is why, there's just too many crooks and Felix needs to throw his weight around right now and start cleaning house pre-election before the crooks bring him down.
my gut feel, the DRC is just too corrupt for Felix to survive in 2023 unless he can quickly start to appease the masses quicker than he's done thus far and wipe out corruption asap, there's just too many crooks in high places.
If I was in charge(lol) of AVZ and I couldnt get an assurance in writing from the government by 1 June then I'd say CATH deals off due to the forces we are facing, just be straight up with them and give em the $20m if we have to, maybe Felix will then act when he see the relationships of AVZ and CATH deteriorate and in turn put a spanner in the works of his boasted battery hub dream. btw some asked before why nxt ann 1 june, well CATH money due then, another reason im dubious and a piece of me thinks 'have CATH delayed the money because they're part of this attack and it's all part of the plan, bit strange waiving of ML but still no cash'. The other thing is if we pull out of CATH deal, then Huayou and CATH could absolutely obliterate our SP with 500m shares or on the other hand as said then start buying more to get on the board and go down that alley, Idk they've got us pretty cornered if they're all in this together.
My conspiracy mind is taking over after what we've witnessed thus far
My biggest thought right now is Id get on the blower to Zijin and offer a $2 takeover if the gov cant give that assurance by 1st June(im convinced it was Zijin that gave us the lowball offer Nige alluded to, so maybe Zijin would be that cocky they'd knock back $2 TO and laugh at us, but surely we could get abt $1.80 absolute min from those cunning snakes.... then I'd personally say 'well done Nige, you did your bloody best mate, now gtfo of that country and go and retire and enjoy your $100m or so mate'. Noticed he resigned as a director of AJN 10 days ago while in suspension too, hmmm wow I'd love to know all the shit that has gone down in all this. Anyway, In saying all that wow would I love it if we come out on top of the Chinese and it's full stream ahead, but we'd need to do everything possible to win over as many locals, officials, politicians, and NGO's as possible before that election.
Im pretty sure with the markets the way they are atm and if no legal/government ruling on June 1st in our favour then 80-90% of us here would vote yes to a $2 TO? I would as it may start to become too consuming after that
and verifiable sources please (a photo would be sufficient)
and I'm hoping they don't get their wish from this blatant misinformation and scare campaign.
