Has anyone considered that what is now AVZ 'territory' could eventually mined by non- Chinese entities.
Just maybe not the one we're all hoping for
For DRC to eventually flip it to Glencore, Rio or whoever would still tick all the boxes for Western involvement.
AVZ going bust along the way would be merely a footnote.
'AVZ was bankrupt and in order to expedite lithium extraction for both the benefit of the DRC people and, of course, the good of the world we were forced to sell the licence to....
The DRC couldn't wait any longer.'
Who would really care apart from AVZ SHs?
But that could never happen.
