Australia and US have signed a critical mineral pact........designed to thwart China dominance in the mineral space, lithium is probably the most important mineral going forward and is part of the pact.
AVZ is an australian coy, owner of the largest hard rock lithium project in the planet by a country mile, so i would of thought Manono would very much fit the criteria for the mineral pact, in fact, i would of thought it should be priority number one to be safely secured, therefore there should be plenty " in it " for both the Aust & US govt.
