Deboss on X
"Hey AVZ Shareholders, Over the weekend, I received many questions about my views on whether shareholders should re-elect Rhett Brans and Her Excellency Salome Thaddaus Sijaona as Directors at the upcoming AGM. Here’s my take: our primary goal as shareholders is to realise the true $$$ value of our investments…and to see that happen as soon as possible. Right now, showing stability and unity on the Board is key to reaching that goal. A solid, consistent Board sends a strong message of confidence to major players like Locke Capital, making it clear that we, as shareholders, support the team and remain committed to moving forward. It also signals resilience to the DRC government and other detractors. In my view, the Company is on the cusp of some significant wins and breakthroughs, and now is not the time to risk destabilising progress due to the frustrations of past delays. It’s been a challenging journey for all of us, including the Board, who’ve been dealing with these delays head-on. And to put things into perspective, the majority of the Board and Executive Team haven’t received a salary in over five months. Currently only a small group of essential casual office staff in Perth and a skeleton staff and security team at Manono are being paid. Oh, and by the way, the Directors themselves invested over $190,000 in the last capital raise…showing their own commitment and belief in AVZ’s future. For these reasons, I’ll be voting FOR Resolutions 1 and 2 to re-elect the current Board members and maintain the stability we need right now. As always, this is just my opinion, and I encourage every shareholder to do their own research and make a decision that aligns with their own goals for AVZ."
