Go AVZ!
Never, you're confusing ownership of Dathcom with ownership of AVZ. A foreign take over of an Australian company particularly by a Chinese one will not be approved by FIRB
I suspect the way any "takeover" would work is another entity (Zijin) would buy out AVZ's interest in Dathcom (which is the company that will hold the mining license and is not an Oz domiciled entity)
Whatever that % interest of AVZ in Dathcom is (75%, 66%, 51%???????????....who fkn knows)
FIRB nil involvement.....not their turf
Then I suspect AVZ would either keep that money and look for another resource (good luck finding another once in a lifetime Manono....)
OR
Distribute the proceeds to all the shareholders of AVZ, wind up the company, and everyone rides off into the sunset
We pocket a buck fiddy to 2 bucks and the DRC get's completely fkd over by Chinese interests, corruption continues to run rife and the Congolese population continue to suffer ongoing predation, pain and poverty
Great outcome....
