I just hope they take their time, and stay suspended until such time as they have a clear statement from DRC authorities as to the current holding percentages.
Best guess is a further suspension.
Like others here I am finding the silence RE AVZ from both the DRC government and Nigel and The BoD deafening. While thrashing it out in my own mind I came up with a theory on what I hope is the reason for the lack of a response from both Gov and AVZ.
Given the volume of misinformation out there the quiet strategy could work providing they are in fact holding a good hand. If The DRC and AVZ were to make comment can you imagine the shit storm that would rain down on them by the opposition parties trying to discredit them. DRC and AVZ are then put in a position of defending their stated position or reverting to their strategy of silence. Both of which would only then provide fodder for the trolls. By remaining silent they are able to release whatever information they choose at a time of their choosing, a far better option than getting dragged into a damaging tit for tat with people who’s position will not change no matter how much truth is put in front of them. In this instance a small target strategy may be the best option.
It shits me too tears that this has occurred and it certainly chips away at one’s faith in human nature. However I still hold and will continue to hold for the very same reasons I bought in the first place.
As I said, Just a theory to help fill the void.
Good luck to all long term holders.

Westpac joins banks offering cheaper loans for electric and hybrid vehicles
One of Australia’s Big Four banks, Westpac, has launched an offer of lower interest rate loans for customers buying a new or used hybrid or electric vehicle.
The banking giant says it did its own research and found that more than two thirds (67%) of Australians were citing cost as the biggest barrier to buying a hybrid or electric vehicle.
To help overcome that barrier, Westpac is offering a new loan product targeting new or used (up to seven years’ old) hybrid or fully electric cars of anywhere between $10,000 – $100,000 at a fixed interest rate of 4.99% p.a. (compared to 6.21% p.a.) over 1-7 years.
There are some basic requirements for eligibility and a list of eligible cars – it’s 93 pages long and covers a LOT of non-plug-in hybrids) – and the bank also offers loans at 10% greater than the amount of the chosen car, to cover on-road costs.
Westpac says the survey of its customers also found that 70% of Australians plan to own a hybrid or electric vehicle in “the future,” with 34% of current petrol and diesel car drivers looking to make the switch for their next auto purchase.
“We know that cost is one of the biggest barriers to hybrid and electric vehicle uptake, so this offer can help more customers transition to a greener vehicle,” said Chris de Bruin, Westpac chief of consumer and business banking.
“Given the recent increase in petrol prices, electric and hybrid vehicles appeal to the environmentally conscious, and the financially conscious too.
“We expect demand for these vehicles will continue to rise, with many Australians already planning to make the change,” de Bruin added.
“We’re also seeing new government incentives, improved access to charging stations, and more manufacturers offering hybrid and electric vehicles, which will help accelerate the transition.”
Behyad Jafari, CEO of the Electric Vehicle Council said the new offer from Westpac represented another opportunity for Australians to save by going electric.
“We know the majority of Australians are now actively considering an electric vehicle as their next car and this initiative will help them make the shift.
“Given the average Australian household currently spends $3,700 a year on petrol and diesel, the purchase of an electric vehicle would ease real pressure on the monthly budget.”
Westpac is not the only Australian bank offering EV-friendly loans.
Macqurie Bank offers rates starting from 3.99% per annum as part of a specialised electric vehicle buying service that it has set up “to make the transition easier.”
Bendigo Bank, which has offered a “green loan” product for 20 years, earlier this year announced that the interest rate for a secured Green Loan to buy a second-hand EV would be reduced by 180 basis points to 4.99%.
Pepper Money – which is the company through which Tesla does its EV financing in Australia – also offers a fixed 3.99% p.a. with no ongoing monthly fees and “a host of soon-to-be-announced benefits” for the purchase of an EV.
Pepper’s electric car loan calculator offers an estimate on repayments for a new or used EV and claims to have financed one in nine electric vehicles sold in Australia, thus far.
Plenti, meanwhile, offers a slightly higher interest rate – from 5.49% p.a. – but perhaps offsets that with no monthly fees, no early repayment fees and the ability to be able to “bundle” the costs of buying an EV, including home charging and a promise of future access to discounted comprehensive insurance.

I started to hope that the suspension was put in until Wednesday because there was going to be some big level government work booked in for Friday or Monday and with Monday and Tuesday to allow for translation and prepping the blockbuster announcement stopping all this ownership dispute dead in the water and we resume trading with a massive upswing and we all retire...
Still could happen but there isn't much chatter coming out to back up my theory

Forgot all about that, surely Felix would be wanting to open that with some big news?
You'd also hope that the majority shareholder of the largest lithium deposit in the world in the DRC would have a stall wouldn't you

Pretty sure they would try to share our booth, saying they've paid for 15% of it.Maybe Zijin has asked for a booth next to AVZ, to have a chat.

Zijin will just sit inside AVZ's booth and when challenged will claim that they paid for 15% of it.
Edit. You beat me to the punchline there Nbaz
Now that would be worth the price of admission!Maybe Zijin has asked for a booth next to AVZ, to have a chat.

Too right, spot on. Trolls and down rampers have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at this and AVZ management has not taken the bait. Doing so would be unwise and unwinnable for the reasons you state @Birdman7
There is no obligation by AVZ to wait until 1 June for an announcement, so given the fact there has not been one I fully suspect an extension to the suspension. All fine with me if it means there is clarity, full clarity on ownership at the end of it.

Best these things be taken care of in court, then make an announcement about the court rulings.
