Mate, everyone shares your frustration in this cunty situation, but i feel you need to get this idea of a "buy out " scenario out of your mind, cause imo, i cant see it happening.
If you believe the critical mineral pact that the US has with Australia and the west is real and the desire to reduce reliance of China supply chain as per rare earths is real...
The West is trying to cut China out of rare earths—and China is noticing
China is facing heated competition as the US, Europe, Australia, and Japan collaborate on rare earths

then a buy out from Z and Cath is just not viable in any way !!
What pissed me off with the recent AGM , was the manner in which it closed without question time, cause i would of asked Nige and co, what US intervention was playing out with the Australian consulate and or AVZ management regards to tactis to resolve this mess to prevent China stealing what is essentially 30% of world supply of lithium and ultimate control of yet another critical mineral.
In no way can the west allow China to take control of Manono, the only pragmatic way to dissolve this mess is by negotiation ( Binding MOU ) and continue the international arbitration pressure until that is finalised.
Its all up to FT and AVZ management to make that happen and lets hope that gets done soon , cause the fatigue factor on this thread is very evident and no surprise.
As i said before, we are going to find out what FT agenda is really about this year and AVZ BOD ability to enact a plan B to enable shareholders a pulse for a better future and prevent world domination of China regards to the lithium sector.
imo
