get fucked

just pressing home the point........

Agree 100%
The rumoured offer is a turd of a deal (if there is any substance to it) I guess if you were tipped off to sell out on secrete squirrel intel for a few select mate's any price is okay for your remaining holdings, did you also buy those at 1c! like carrot top ? ... don't try and sell this pile of poo as a good deal to shareholders, who have paid up to $1.36 and been up on blocks for 3 years.
Sug the boss comes back with a total of 6×40c and we will listen, otherwise f o.

Hmmmn... Let's see. Keeps pushing the same party line as Jens Emil Soderlund by lowballing and trying to soften up shareholders.

Has a name with initial "J" and then 19. What is the 19th letter of the alphabet? Add an "E" in the middle and who's initials have you got?

Coincidence? Maybe. I'll let others be the judge but it tacks with Jens ego that he has to sell his own narrative under his own brand.

Let's just say you are a better designer/online assets generator than you are a profiler. That's not to say your previous efforts aren't appreciated.

This feels like one of the questions on The 1% Club

People are just massively jumping the gun here. Why fuck kobold? We don’t know what they’ve offered and they’ve put us back on the radar.
Nigel has indicated they are working with Kobold to come to a deal. If he’s hearing them out then we need to give them the benefit of the doubt.

AVZ Warriors,

I realise that it has been a long road for everyone, financially and mentally and I have the greatest sympathy for all sufferers. For instance, I have had to sell assets to keep me and the misses afloat and we are starting to run on fumes. While the ICSID option sounds good($10 billion) it will not give you the desired result. For one, it will be a long road(years) and I bet you London to a brick on that you are not going to get money out of a broke DRC. We are just fortunate that the Trump administration has realised the importance of securing critical minerals and preventing China owning them and dominating the supply chain and price, and our unique mammoth once in a lifetime deposit is right in their cross hairs. Therefore I think the Kobold offer and any other American interest(a non-binding interest can bring other bidders) is a God send and I would gladly take the offer knowing that this really is the only way out. From what I understand in articles we could be looking at weeks to a few months when all is signed.

How great would that be for long suffering holders considering we have had to wait 3 years!

Bison is right to say we do not know the Kobold offer so why presume anything......but I will say this:

The price of lithium has fallen dramatically since the boom as you can see in the share price of our competitors; it is a buyers market. Sohh....as much as we have the largest deposit globally the lithium price must be considered, the fact we do not have a mine yet, as well as a discount for sovereign risk. I am just being realistic and think this is honestly our only option, and who knows what the price will be.

Sincerely, M8

Anti vaxxer, racist, Trump superfan, most of her Twitter posts have been as accurate as Jens, blocks anyone who doesn't agree with her

I don't read many of fastnfirey posts - I'm flat out trying to keep my PAYE job & pay the mortgage. But I know she & hubby invested much of their life savings in AVZ, expecting the strong trajectory we saw in late 2021 to continue and (like me) failed to sell-out before suspension, and in her case causing her to lose much more than the investment.
Purely talking AVZ related posting, I find her incredibly positive and constructive considering what she's been through.
Personally, I will be very disappointed if we are not paid out the equivalent of ATH, considering everyone's tax impacts vary.
But, I will accept the best deal that Nige, BOD & DLA Piper can extract. They've worked miracles to get us this far.
Remember what we are up against: 1) CCP will do anything to get Manono - I hear the bribes are $150+M so far; 2) corruption is rife in the DRC.

So what you’re saying is that we will have to accept an offer less than what Rio Tinto paid Arcadium which is a significantly inferior asset than Manono and has also been subjected to the “lithium price downturn” when they took it over!!!

Not directed at you specifically, and as a relatively new comer in terms of posting myself… but fuck me what’s with all these emerged and members that I have not seen over the past 6 months raising their heads in the past few hours.

There is no fair value fairy mate, there is only what someone is willing to pay.
If you can find a buyer whos willing to pay more for Manono, please email management and set up a meeting.

Also @Mining8 is a very well respected poster from way way back, assuming it's the same guy from HC.
And I would say there are far more lurkers on TSE than regular posters, who aren't into chatting about everything day in day out like us losers do

Anyone know who this woman is ?KiK giving it some weight .

@KiengeKki

Maja@fastandfiry, shareholder of AVZ, sends a message of conscience to all other partners of the Australian company, regarding the potential negotiations with the American giant, #KoBold , for the sale of its assets related to the Manono lithium project: "Personal message to $AVZ SH: We are all in this together and want the best outcome. ICSID is not it! It may give you the slow satisfaction of revenge, but you will never see one!! We have an offer on the table. Be grateful for it, given the current geopolitical and economic context. Stop arguing about SP and wait a moment. The AVZ team has worked hard to conclude a deal that we did not even imagine possible a few months ago.So, let's add one. Another note: some people deliberately post negative comments about $ AVZ and others. Let's not give them airtime. You know what you have to do! "

oh yes good idea, take the first offer that comes along because they always offer their best deal first.... seriously WTF, how about a recap, kobold have a NON BINDING offer, and thats all it is an offer. ZIJIN RIO or saudia arabia could/can and probebly will make an offer too. so how about you take a chill pill, kick back and relax and well see what other offers come to the table before the ICISD hearings become un-temporaily suspended and we air all the dishonesty to the world

 

[Scoota30]

We've spent 3 years of shitfuckery, survived being taken over for cents by the chinese, and now we are 3 weeks away from ICSID starting (after the DRC has tried twice in the last two months to throw it out on Jurisdiction) and some of the older shareholders are now ready to fold their cards for Kobold cheap??

Give me a break. Nige has balls of steel - I will be shocked if after all of this he just turns over and folds to Kobold for fuck all. Don't forget the comments about Kobold being in our core library at the last AGM. 100% he would prefer a buyout than going the full hog at ICSID but nobody knows the full potential of Manono more than the big dog.

Let the man cook!!

 

[Spikerama]

Down to Twenty, till bombshells aplenty.

 

[Goat]

The elephant in the room is still the Chinese players.
You think just because Trump has offered security in exchange for a cheap lithium play that AVZ and DRC will bend over and take it. The DRC want the CASH... Any offer that comes in higher than Kobold is appealing to the DRC as it means more cash in their hands once the deal is done.
I personally believe CATH have a cheque for $10B sitting in the bottom drawer ready to be played at the 11th hour.

Not if it's part of the security agreement that the USA get Manono. Which it likely is.

That's been my initial thought this whole time, but it looks like Zijin is doing perfectly fine in the North without the help of an army and ready to scrape Lithium out the ground any day.

We have seen some changes on Kobold's X account in regards of getting hold of AVZ's Manono interests.
They weren't made by accident.

So the wheels are moving in the background.
What the final price will be, is what the final highest acceptable offer is.
I leave it up to the BoD to make that decision, they have all the relevant information.

At the end of the day, if Zijin would offer the best deal, over Kobold, so be it.
We simply don't know what the offer(s) are, neither do we want to know, or tell people what would be acceptable.

Let interested parties make an offer and keep negotiations confidential.
Zijin would love to know what the Kobold deal is.
It is in Zijin's interest to fuck Kobold off and make the entire Manono mine a massive operation.
Why share it with its biggest enemy on earth?

The only way Zijin can get rid of Kobold is make sure they make an offer substantially higher then Kobold's offer.

I personally don't give a fuck where the money comes from, or where the lithium goes to.
But I want the best achievable price.

If the US tries to get this on the cheap they could be in for a surprise.
They should be well aware, that China will be prepared to fight to get the entire Manono Resource and throw some money into the equation.
Not to please AVZ, but to get hold of the entire lithium market. That is much more powerful than just half of Manono.

The US has an opportunity to stop this now and I think they would be stupid to fuck this opportunity up, by trying to be too smart.

But at the end of the day it is the BoD which calls the shots, not posters on any social media platform.

"Bison is right to say we do not know the Kobold offer, so why presume anything......But I will say this"

Really, well firstly, hello if you are in fact the original M8 from old HC, hope you are well, I always wondered where you had gone and more importantly why.....

Back to Bison and all other holders here who have concerns about Jen softening up the sheep, as for an offer of what 40c pff. Now the mention here of bribes of up to 150 mil being offered/reported, lets hope no one in our camp would ever consider taking bribes to facilitate a shit deal, I'm sure they would not! (sure 40c is better than nothing I hear, being shoved down our throats, as low-ball offers have for some time now), there hidden agendas at play here.... maybe the 21,000 investors have been softened up enough now, let's get Jen inside the T'pee to sell it to the sheep, so we don't see all those SH joining taxi and the clan in the queue taking HQ to task in court. Just my musings, probably nothing in it, hmmm.

So whats that I hear, we are only speculating on the offer based on Jen (plus others on the inside of the Tp) no if these dudes were like the rest of us plebs that observation of yours would hold water, but I say its leaky, these dudes are on a mission it would seem, the million $ ? is that mission in the interests of the 21,000 investors..... or others..... just speculating, sorry thinking out loud, maybe I'm wrong, I'm not sure at this point but it does smell.

On fair value, you have to be joking. Surely you don't really expect the majority of SH to believe that.
Yes, Lith Rm are down, so f what, they are not buying (sry attempting to steal this deposit) because they think Lith is cooked, are they.....
They want it for the opposite reason, they want to control the lith market for the next 30+ years, and they know that the price of lith will be off and running in due course, going gangbusters again. Let's get rid of the plebs for nics, and get this asset, and do whatever it takes.
Lets shut the BS down and stop insulting the majority of SH about this being a good offer, or a fair offer, or a reasonable offer, it's shit offer, an opportune offer, "A TOKEN OFFER" at best.

Sharpen your pencil, I would suggest, M&Dad/SH are sick of being f o.

ps have a pleasant day all honest SH, who are not running hidden agendas.

Not if it's part of the security agreement that the USA get Manono. Which it likely is.

.... Kobold specifically have said as part of their proposed deal, they don't want to antagonise China and will compensate AVZ for ANY lost stake (Bezos, Gates etc have interests in China- Bezos took a very anti-trump stance on the Tarriff situation so its not like the US is one uniform entity without its own internal politics either, thats why I say Kobold are ONE potential way forward). In exchange Kobold have asked AVZ to agree to a framework... AVZ have agreed AND publicly stated its a non-binding framework. If AVZ management decide the framework has not led to an attractive position for SH, it doesn't have to proceed. Kobold obviously feel they can get to a place where all parties are happy.... given the project economics I do too (thats why I think SP guesses or premature accusations of low ball offers are not yet warranted).

What I assume this will all mean is once all the details are worked out, we will be made aware of a potential plan. Until then we are all just reading tea leaves on this one. What people do not realise though is AVZ while massive to us, is a little pebble of value in the grand ambitions of the players discussing things now, TRILLIONS of dollars for the them vs a few billion +/- on this deal is not going to get them out of Africa (maybe out of Manono until its more attractive to commit the capital but as long as their is value in it for them, they will pay).

Ziljin has paid US$150+M in bribes. We don't pay bribes.

I like your post Scar, but Jen and (D...... & friends in high places) are not 'just reading t bags mate' imo, but happy (hoping you are right) to be proven wrong in due course, let's hope you are dialled in better than me for everyone's sake. Good luck to all, we have been s..... from all sides in my view.
