AVZ Discussion 2022

[LithiumKing]

I don't see why we aren't engaging more in the media - our silence is deafening and may be perceived locally as a admission of culpability. Why are we letting the Chinese set the narrative? Like any politician, FT is responsive to the winds of public sentiment, and were one in DRC to read the news or engage on social media, you would largely think that AVZ is the bad guy! Look at all the politicians online supporting our enemies, and yet nothing from our management or anybody in power supporting our position. Haven't we learned from the Covid experience that we can't allow others to poison the chalice of our local perception? Like they did with FT?

Need to tread carefully and not give the detractors/bad actors anymore ammunition. Focus is to lock away the ML and then we can put the foot to the throat to the detractors

If we can afford to pay the outragous salary of 500k for the boss of a non producing wannabe mining company that has yet to even get a mining licence, I'm sure we can afford to pay a local (probably a pittance) to conduct PR interviews and photos and stories, and a freelance Aussie copywriter to publish to an English speaking audience.
Again, there is so much in terms of positive future stories behind AVZ, other than just the excitement of an up an comming Aussie company.
The green EV future, ethical employment in the DRC, money injection into impoverished nations, you all know the drill.
There is SO much to pump and keep us all excited about.
I think it's a massive oversight that is isn't already happening.

Mate, I think the commercial strategy being undertaken by AVZ to overcome current hurdles in the DRC is a little more important then taking this fight to social media or via positive company announcements (just to keep shareholders a little happier if that is at all possible.) Hint, this is one of the reasons for the road shows, to make some effort at this difficult time to assure larger holders there are reasons for the way things are being managed and in due course playing out for our expected benefit.

There is a strategy for positive info to be timed appropriately IMO. Personally I would only like to see any positive announcements released once AVZ is trading again, not now (if there is any discretion) as such annoucments would be lost like tears in the rain and sucked up and spit out by AVZ adversaries in a moment.

Of course I'm sure any announcements that require disclosure under listing rules are being released etc, yet I think we all know there is a certain amount of discretion available to the company much of the time on such things.

I'd suggest radio silence is the smart move at present no matter how anxious some shareholders are seeking a better social media footprint or announcements to combat attacks by incumbent, corrupt and nefarious players. For what it is worth, sit tight, what you seek will not help or change the game afoot.

Spot on. The likes of Svetlana, Maja and Dominic Furtaro among others on Twitter who tag every politician, NGO, DRC media outlet, and world leader they can, as well as Elon Musk, are definitely not helping the cause.

Thanks Chilla. Great idea. I've applied for membership.

Sounds great- I’ll apply for membership also. Keen to assemble a regular AVZ catchup

You have to wonder why people think tagging the likes of Elon Musk in posts will get them anywhere.

Reckon he's taking a break from breakfast before he goes to run his billions of dollars to read a post from some loud mouth in Melbourne that gambled too hard at the ASX casino and couldn't pay for her house?

Imagine how many notifications he has on his Twitter when he wakes up in the morning. I just clear them and don't bother reading them if I have more than 5.

Awesome….a few I spoke to on Tuesday sounded keen for a regular catch-up amongst like minds….it could be a bitch session or therapy group or $5 club depending on where we are at on the roller coaster

 

[JNRB]

Guys do not bother asking/wondering whats being said in this video below it is an absolute shitshow, she is the puppet master and they seem to be following her lead. What a bunch of clowns. Half of it makes no sense tbh. IGNORE. I tried to watch but had to stop... horrible what a farce

I watched a bit of it, hard to follow with bad audio and shitty YouTube autotranslate.

But on the whole, all of what she was saying seemed to come down to "I don't like it" "I feel like this so I've just done whatever"

All very much came across as her just doing what she wanted and trying to make excuses for it, not so much anything to do with actual procedure. That gives me a little confidence it's all bullshit that we'll eventually get sorted out and she's not gonna get her way 'just because'

The Sydney crew are looking forward at $5 to champagne and caviar on a harbour cruise instead of our pre-RS schooners in a sports bar. And hopefully the barmaids on the boat will be better looking too

Haha I will fly up and join you…Sydney is my home town and I get back frequently. The boat sounds good as long as the dude in the corset at the sports bar isn’t the barmaid on the boat

 

[CashKing]

She has no recollections . She is making this crap up . The brown paper bag full of cash also had instructions on what to say . Nigel clearing says in an interview on youtube we have a very good relationship with MoP . The Chinese have obviously made her an offer too good to refuse . I watched the video . She is talking a load of sh1t and appears to be reading off script towards the end when referring to AVZ .Every now and then raising her voice for effect . It's all made up Bull Shit . In war they are called red flag events . They are making up Bull shit to try and justify the action they want to take .

I’m pretty sure you get off most shit if you just say. “ I cannot recall”

Smacks of she’s on the payroll.

Her face pisses me off also…

Let’s hope it gets sorted ASAP

Tick Tock or until
The next suspension extension

Need to tread carefully and not give the detractors/bad actors anymore ammunition.
Focus is to lock away the ML and then we can put the foot to the throat to the detractors

Which is exactly what our Fearless Leader said will happen at the RS the other night if my memory serves me right LK

Fyi, Was a very Interesting discussion on Q & A tonight re:- Musk / Twitter etc

Cyber Hacks, Musk and Trump​

This week on Q+A, how fragile is our democracy?

With cyber-crime on the rise, politicians and their families coming under violent attack and existential threats looming – how can we protect ourselves and the system that has served us for so many years?

Millions of Australians have had their private data stolen by hackers, revealing just how vulnerable big companies are to ransom attacks.

So what more can we do as individuals to protect ourselves?

Has government dropped the ball on cyber security?

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover is causing a storm, with mass layoffs and companies pulling their advertising dollars over the Tesla billionaire’s changes.

Is it the end of the road for the social media giant?

What would a world without Twitter look like?

MEDIA – MUSK TWITTER TAKEOVER​

Melissa Keller-Tuberg asked: Elon Musk wants to create an internet where the most privileged people in society can punch down at marginalised groups - queer people, people of colour, women and gender minorities, the Jewish community - without facing any consequences.

In one of his first tweets as owner, he stated: comedy is now legal on Twitter. But the real comedy is that after people started making parody accounts impersonating Elon, he banned them.

What is the panel's position on Elon's policy changes on e-safety and how should Australia respond?

Food for thought

We spoke to Nigel about this in Brisbane and he said yes to bugging them on social media, be the squeaky wheel, just as long as your polite.

Cheers Frank. Not sure if Wombat mentioned it, but we visited the DRC, it was pretty scary and luckily they had crocodile on the menu when we were there, as we would have been in real trouble.

At least we got the whole story

Tesla stock removed from Wedbush Best Ideas list over 'Twitter train wreck disaster'​

Tesla Inc. stock -7.17% was removed from Wedbush's Best Ideas list on Thursday, with analyst Dan Ives citing the overhang from Chief Executive's entanglement with Twitter Inc.

"In what has been a dark comedy show with Twitter, Musk has essentially tarnished the Tesla story/stock and is starting to potentially impact the Tesla brand with this ongoing Twitter train wreck disaster," Ives wrote in a note to clients.

"From selling Tesla stock again and again, to the PR nightmare that Twitter has become, cutting 50% of employees and then needing to bring some back, Musk's attention focus from Tesla to Twitter, and ultimately the fear that this Twitter lightening rod of controversy on a daily (almost hourly) basis starts to negatively change the Tesla brand globally." Tesla IS Musk, Ives wrote, and it has made him the richest man in the world.

Tesla is the golden child of his empire, and he's changed the auto world much in the way that Apple's iPhone changed phones. But now he has managed to do what short sellers tried and failed -- to crush Tesla's stock despite the EV company being in a position of strength.

Ives said he still believes in the EV story as a longer-term play, but Tesla's roughly 25% selloff since the Twitter deal is "an agonizing cycle for investors to navigate and has put massive pressure on the stock as its a Boy Who Cried Wolf narrative shaping up."

Ives is sticking with his outperform rating on Tesla stock but lowered his price target to $250 from $300 to reflect the overhang.

Tesla was slightly higher premarket but is down 50% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 has fallen 21%.

According to the Congolese press agency, which delivers the information, at the end of their interview, the national deputy Odette Mwamba Banza spoke in these terms: "Our concern is the effective installation of this value chain, which promotes not only development but also the balance in economic remuneration among the population. We also wanted to know who will be the stakeholders in the exploitation of Lithium in order to benefit the population from its benefits."
For her part, Minister Antoinette N'Samba Kalambayi, promised to spare no effort for the development of the mining sector in the DRC.
