Yes, and I have reported every single one of them. I don't know if I can keep up the pace though...Is anyone else seeing lots of spam on $AVZ twitter ?
went onto twitter this morning and there was loads of spam bots with the $AVZ hashtag. Noticed seeing lots more of it over the last week on searches.
Could that be chy-na?

For the DRC stage, the official press release from the Department of State confirmed by the United States Embassy in Kinshasa places this stay within the framework successively “of the holding of free, inclusive and fair elections in 2023”, promotion and respect for “human rights and the protection of fundamental freedoms”, “the fight against corruption”, “support for trade and investment”, the issue of “climate change and support for “regional African efforts to promote peace in eastern DRC and the wider Great Lakes region”.
This for the tip of the iceberg…
For the non-visible part, there are undoubtedly the economic issues and when it comes to the DRC, probably mining.
This visit by Blinken got me thinken'
With Tensions so High in Taiwan because of China losing it's Shit, supposedly over the recent Pelosi visit ffs !
Will we see the PLA conducting large-scale military exercises and missile launches, as well as cyber-attacks, disinformation, and economic coercion, in an attempt to weaken public morale in Africa / DRC
Or would that be going "Too Far / Not Necessary" because they think they own 15% or more of it anyway
So what's the big difference between Blinken's Trip to the DRC to discuss holding free, inclusive and fair elections in 2023”, promotion and respect for “human rights and the protection of fundamental freedoms”, "the fight against corruption”, “support for trade and investment”, the issue of “climate change and support for “regional African efforts to promote peace" from Pelosi's Trip to Taipei

Tensions high as Taiwan begins live-fire drills and China continues military exercises it started after US speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei last week
China used its military drills last week to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan, and its anger over US speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit was just an excuse, Taiwan’s foreign minister has said.
The minister, Joseph Wu, addressed the media on Tuesday morning, as China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) continued with military exercises it began last week, and Taiwan started its own live-fire drills. Wu accused China of “gross violations of international law”.
“China has used the drills in its military playbook to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan,” he said.
“It is conducting large-scale military exercises and missile launches, as well as cyber-attacks, disinformation, and economic coercion, in an attempt to weaken public morale in Taiwan.”
He said the PLA activities would have taken far longer to prepare than the timeframe of it being a direct response to Pelosi’s visit.
Wu said China’s tactics, including the firing of ballistic missiles, were “clearly trying to deter other countries from interfering in its attempt to invade Taiwan”, and also showed that it had much broader geostrategic intentions.
“China’s real intention is to alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and the entire region.”
Beijing has declared ownership of the Taiwan strait, one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, and aims to influence the international community’s freedom of travel, by controlling the stretch of water and linking the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea, he said.
In the past week the PLA has conducted more than 100 sea and air crossings of the median line, an unofficial border between China and Taiwan which until recently both sides had largely respected.
On Tuesday Wu said China has taken “specific action to break the longstanding tacit agreement of the median line”, and would probably now try to “routinise its actions”.
“Its intentions are not likely to end there,” he said, noting the security agreement with Solomon Islands, and China’s influence across the Pacific, south-east Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Last week government websites, convenience stores, and train station signs were targeted by cyber-attacks.
Wu said the varying attacks were traced to China and Russia, across several days.
Overseas cyberattacks were continuing and Taiwan’s authorities remained on “high alert”, Wu said, but Taiwan would not be cowed.
“China’s continued attempt to intimidate Taiwan will not panic us, nor will they defeat us. The values of freedom and democracy cannot be taken away.”

Much better reporting, at last
Wow, for AVZ's lawyers to repost that is very interesting. I don't think they would have done that without permission and without anything happening to her.
She's a goner.
I hear ya, I just like to party at the end of every work day lol, not just on Friday's lol.
Though after some thought (and a few beers) I guess some Lithium mines have quite a lot in
common with some of our other interests:
- There will never be enough for mankind's needs
- Hard rock deposits
- Natural water source for operations is best
- Safest play is to do some drilling before investing to heavily
- It is neither about size or quality alone, but a combination of both.
- Sovereign risk can be a major issue.
- Stripping ratio should should leave as little behind as possible
- One must consider both Capex and Opex
- One must have permits to drill
- A brief look at assays can be misleading, careful study is required
- One should never assume a permit covers all holes you have in mind
- Adjusting the angle of the drill is imperative for hitting the right spot
- The right machinery can do wonders but must be operated with caution
- One should take their time with drilling before rushing into
reproduction - Sometimes it's best to bring a third party on board.
- Some like to look for a bigger company to take over.
Hi all,
In the yellow snippet, the IGF conclusions confirms what I thought yesterday, that the 5% to Dathomir from Cominière are definitive because of the contract between Cominière and Dathomir.
The 15% to Zijin are them Null & void because in breach of the law and existing contracts!
To me, it means that IF legal procedures are fair, we should be okay (but at the moment I am having doubts about fairness in DRC).
What I am wondering, is what is the place and power of the IGF in DRC?
I have no knowledge regarding this and I tend to love the IGF as they seem to be supporting us but has anyone any knowledge of their legal weight in DRC? Any story about a past case they brought home? What is their process when charging someone?
Looking forward to your opinions,

No worries Sparrow....I generally don't say much as my opinion is mine, the same as my left NUT...just like sharing the info
IGF are the DRC Ombudsman/Auditor and have a fair bit of power and influence.
If you look at what is happening with Gécamines, the President is talking about renegotiating contracts based on IGF findings etc.

Near-term producers rise as Albemarle confirms lithium shortage for next 7-8 years
Over the past week near term producers Core Lithium, Sayona Mining, Lake Resources, Ioneer, Vulcan Energy and Liontown have all jumped off the back of more news that there’s just not enough lithium around.US producer Albemarle now says the supply crunch is going to be here until 2030.
“It’s systemic for a pretty long period of time,” CEO Kent Masters told the Financial Times.
“For seven to eight years it stays pretty tight.”
Albemarle also expects to be able to increase its production and turn cash flow positive this year, off the back of continued strength in lithium pricing.
No surprise really, considering the IEA reckons we need about 60 more lithium mines by the end of the decade to meet global decarbonisation and electric vehicle goals.
A solid 70 stocks were in the green, 27 were flat and 34 were red.

It also points to "undue benefits" paid to executives and the "payment of exorbitant snacks".
"During the period under review, Gécamines generated 2 billion US dollars in own resources," IGF boss Jules Alingete told AFP.
However, he said, "1.5 billion was used to pay management bonuses and snacks".
