That's an excellent take on the cynical media campaign and the lazy journalism, our AVZ coverage has multiplied and will inevitably raise the stakes come the announcement

This is where we would expect Nigel. As CEO of the only mining company in battery council and majority share holder in Dathcom he would have to have been invited. If not because of the ongoing shenanigans then the agenda item on investing in the DRC becomes a joke.DRC Mining Community Prepares for June Big Bash in Lubumbashi as DRC Mining Week Returns
It’s official, DRC Mining Week is back in Lubumbashi from 1–3 June, and to say that the industry is excited about its homecoming is an understatement.
This long-running, award-winning and flagship expo and conference returns to the heart of the Copperbelt and the bustling mining hub of the DRC to celebrate the region’s unlimited resilience, successes and opportunities.
The event boasts longstanding and loyal support from many sector leaders, including ERG Africa, FBN Bank and Glencore, who are diamond sponsors, while Equity BCDC, Orange and Standard Bank are platinum plus sponsors.
Other big names in industry that have partnered with DRC Mining Week in June include Ivanhoe Mines, the Cobalt Institute, USAID and Global Communities.
The largest expo and conference in the Copperbelt dedicated to the mining and industrial sector, DRC Mining Week will again gather some 600 mining executives from 80 mining houses and operators, 4000+ attendees, of which 70% will be international, more than 80 expert speakers, and the in- and outdoor exhibition will expect four country pavilions.
Anyone working in or for the mining and exploration sector, energy, professional equipment, machinery, transport and logistics, safety and security, construction, consulting and insurance should be in Lubumbashi from 1–3 June.
18 years and still going strong!
“The DRC Mining Week team is ready to put the ‘bash’ back into Lubumbashi!” joked the DRC Mining Week Event Director Patricia Kazaka.
She is representative of the zest, energy and fun the organisers have become known for over the last 17 years of the event’s existence.
“We cannot wait to open our doors again and welcome all our clients and partners back to the Karavia Hotel, and we know that everyone has really missed having the event live and onsite during the last two years” said Kazaka.
Despite maintaining an innovative digital series of virtual engagement for mining companies, investors and industry suppliers during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown and hosting many exciting debates with major players in the DRC mining sector, the event organisers, the Vuka Group feel the time is right to return to Lubumbashi.
“We are ready to have a live event again. All the safety protocols will be in place to ensure a valuable and safe experience for everyone to meet other delegates, attend presentations, workshops, networking functions and spend quality time on the expo floors,” confirmed Kazaka.
The who’s who in the sector who are part of DRC Mining Week’s conference programme include:
The programme will address topical issues and challenges in the sector, as well as give the mining houses, operators and industry suppliers the opportunity to share project updates and success stories.

Wouldn't it be nice if NF releases the truckload of good announcements 1-2 days before 1 June so that the shorters get caught off-guard and don't have time to release their load of BS and FUD news in time before trading restarts? And by the time they get to work trading has pushed the SP above ATH and they'll be forced to cover at higher prices in a jiffy.

I don't think they are attending. I could not find avz on any part of the site. The final line up is not complete yet. I accessed the site by www.mines.cdSo i guess the 1st of June could be a Big Day in more ways than one, as
DRC Mining Week is back in Lubumbashi from 1–3 June.
Accordingly the Company requests an extension to the voluntary suspension until the commencement
of trade on 1 June 2022 or an announcement to the market regarding its mining and exploration rights
for the Manono Project.
Hopefully Nigel has all the i's dotted & t's crossed on a Slam Dunk Ann to kick things off, If not before

Go AVZ!
Ummm....don't release anything 1 or 2 days before!!!.....
release it in the very,very,very,very,very last second you are legally allowed to so those mofo's have NFI what hits them!!!!!

AVZ obviously still in suspension so not much to do on that front other than wait for the offical company announcements as they come through
Hang in there everyone

It really is the perfect opportunity for Felix to walk the walk and prove to the world that he's changing how business is done. I'll take anything along the lines of him putting AVZ on a pedestal for how companies can operate in the DRC by going about business the proper ethical way and making an example of the Chinese fraudsters. Could even hold a press conference at the site of one of the many hospitals the Chinese haven't built.
Mine auction draws 3,448 bids amid scramble for lithium
An auction for a controlling stake in a Chinese lithium mine has garnered 3,448 bids, underscoring the scramble to secure the battery metal that’s key to the clean-energy transition.
The 54.3% stake in Yajiang Snowway Mining Development, which owns the mine in Sichuan, a southwestern province in China, was sold for about 2 billion yuan ($300 million), according to JD.com.
The heated bidding war, which concluded on Saturday, was joined by 21 participants, while over 980,000 people watched online throughout the five-day event.
“We believe the auction price indicates a bullish Chinese primary market for future lithium prices as well as the strategic importance of Sichuan spodumene assets,” Daiwa Capital Markets’ analysts Dennis Ip and Leo Ho said in a note.
The shift to electric vehicles has spurred a global rush for lithium, which is used in virtually all EV batteries, and seen Chinese prices of lithium carbonate surge more than 400% over the past year.
The highest bid in a tender in April by Australia’s Pilbara Minerals Ltd. for spodumene concentrate, a partly-processed form of lithium, more than doubled in just six months.
Yajiang Snowway is undergoing a bankruptcy process.
The Dechenonba lithium mine in Sichuan’s Yajiang area covers 1.14 square kilometers, with estimated reserves of 24.9 million tons and a planned 1-million-ton capacity per year.

So what's Manono worth
The Roche Dure Pegmatite has a proven length of at least 2,100m.
The Carriere de l’Este Pegmatite, with a mapped length of about 5,500m, is potentially the largest pegmatite in the Manono Project.

While you're sipping on your Flat White, did you see where,
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based miner now expects sales from $5.8 billion to $6.2 billion this year, up from its previous estimate of $5.2 billion to $5.6 billion to boosted profit forecasts for the year due to “additional index-referenced, variable-price contracts for battery grade lithium sales,” it said in a statement.
Demand for electric vehicles — and the batteries that power them — has driven prices for key metals higher, even sparking fears of shortages of materials like lithium, cobalt and nickel.
Lithium supplies are a concern in particular because there’s no substitute for it in electric vehicle batteries.
A gauge of lithium prices more than doubled in the first four months of this year after surging 280% last year.
The company last increased its guidance on May 4 when it released first-quarter earnings.
Overall, the midpoint of Albemarle’s 2022 sales estimate is 38% higher than just a few weeks ago.
Did you see the latest PLS Auction Results
The tonnage available to be auctioned on the BMX platform once Ngungaju is ramped up will be 180000 to 200000 tons per year.
It is due to be running at this rate mid 2022 .
So let's say at worst 150000t is available and is auctioned on the BMX during the financial year ending 30 June 2023.
If $US6000t is achieved and the $A remains at or around US70c the revenue in $A is huge.
Like 150000 x $US6000 @70c = $A1.29billion.
Throw in for good measure say 350000t from Pilgangoora sold via offtake agreements at a minimum of $US4500t and we have another $A2.5billion.
All up revenue for year to 30062023 $A3.8billion.
* C'mon DRC / AVZ - Let's get this Party Started before we miss the EV Boat, Bus, Train, Plane
It's Time for Take-off or is that Off-Take
As soon as we off-load some unwanted Passengers asap
Albemarle boosts outlook with battery demand surging
Albemarle Corp., the world’s largest producer of lithium, raised its outlook for the second time this month as tight supply and growing electric-vehicle demand forces battery makers to pay up for the metal.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based miner now expects sales from $5.8 billion to $6.2 billion this year, up from its previous estimate of $5.2 billion to $5.6 billion to boosted profit forecasts for the year due to “additional index-referenced, variable-price contracts for battery grade lithium sales,” it said in a statement.
