No ideaSo, looking down the barrel of a potential sale of the asset, what's it actually worth now?
Whatever another party is willing to pay
$12No idea
I wanted to stay in exile.... but I think all is not lost IF this end up in ICC. (IMO)
In the past similar thing happened between Australian TCC:ASX and Pakistan where Pakistan couldn't honor the contract because of their internal politics (or whatever their reasons were). Case was taken in the High Court of British Virgin Island resulted in TCC's favor. “.... TCC then approached the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) to resolve the dispute,”
And TCC won $5.9 Billion (they sued for $8.5 Billion, some says $16 Billion) . But since Pakistan was/is still struggling with their poor economy, they couldn't pay the money therefore Pakistan foreign assets were frozen including the Roosevelt Hotel, New York owned by the national airlines of Pakistan, PIA.
Eventually Pakistan agreed and negotiated , see below

So, from that precedent, we can only assume that even if DRC cant pay in cash, then they have to pay AVZ in assets/resources, again its my own assessment from the past cases.

***** Had Pakistan not cancelled the contract with TCC, Pakistan and its people would have been in much better situation, currently Pakistan is on the verge of default with only $4 Billion in their reserves.
Yeah not the swankiest digs in town but will save us a dollar.
We have a BOD of 11 - how many of those are no longer required? Problem will be separation in their contracts will be just as delicious as those free share and options they've hoovered along the way...Pretty modest digs which is good to see, a drop in the ocean with Graeme and Peter Clark’s salaries though, do we need these guys anymore? Prefer to save 450k per annum then require a technical director (bfs in the can) and a chairman who hasn’t done fuck all since he gave himself heaps of options then went into a 2 year halt. I know I’m harping but seriously?
DRC's unofficial response wasThe one thing I would like to know is the DRC’s reasons for not complying with interim order, like what was their rebuttal to the ICSID ruling exactly? If we knew this we’d have a more decent idea of what’s happening. Guessing that info is not allowed to be released
Can't say it's given me the warm and fuzzies silent, but I don't think they had any other choice that wasn't worse.I havent lost sleep over AVZ delisting. I think the BOD have been very stretegic about the delisting.
I will sleep soundly tonight.
Ohhh I wonder how the Shorters are sleeping (not really).
Do your own research.

If I was a dodgy Chinese business...there's two things I could do...tell CATH to make a take over offer of say 40-50 cents and obviously they would then get the ML and away they go(they would tell the government they would pay all fines also)Or, just sit and wait until AVZ relinquish the tenement then swoop in, that last one has a risk of someone else putting a sweet offer ahead and stealing it.
Maybe this is just hope talking but I think that's our best bet.
