Totally agree Winenut. We have to pay the fees so that we remain in the que and proposed hearing dates are kept.I've asked this genuine question on the crapper after a post by Amovatio who I greatly respect
I'm not really getting any comments over there not sure if they think I'm being negative or something
Anyhoo I thought I'd pose the question here in relation to AVZ not paying the arbitration fees and letting the action lapse IF the DRC grant AVZ the ML prior to 7th Feb 2025 (I think that's the deadline for the fees to be paid) which is what Amovatio was suggesting
Any thoughts here????
I sort of consider the arbitration a kind of necessary "insurance policy" to keep the fucking DRC to their word until absolutely EVERYTHING is 100% signed sealed delivered and unequivocally ratified in fucking blood!

Beisha says rest assured the fees have been paid but what concerns me is how?
AVZ had very little cash which was probably the reason the fees had not been paid to date. We didn't go ahead with Locke and assume we hadn't taken any funds from them and CATL, under the new arrangement, is not due to pay anything until the end of the month (l think that is right) so l ask, if the fees have been paid, where did the $$ come from?
I would hope the fees are paid irrespective if something is going on in the back ground, no matter how positive. These people have form, no scruples, no conscience.
I believe in the BOD and l'm positive of the outcomes of ICC and ICSID in the future. I f negotiations or sale are in the background so be it. I am leaning towards going the whole hog via the Courts to teach the DRC a lesson, send them bankrupt for the World to see, several end up in jail so then maybe they can get on the right path for their people but that is me just dreaming.
Sunday rant over, off to the pub l go for a few Carlton Draughts on this fine Australia Day.
