AVZ Discussion 2022

FilthyRich2

Regular
At last Roadshows in 2021 and in 2022 (called prior to roadshow cancellations) there was a private discussion of a surprise twist for shareholders which was never disclosed in its exact nature. (AVZ not to be a one trick pony discussion , and diversification many of you heard) (positive outcome even before the concerns that have arisen in last 6 months)

The government through their actions seem to be building up to that event (my guess , pure speculation)

I think we will get a bit more of the action than we bargained for (which will blow out estimates made by Con Garlas)

Further clues are in the article below, why would Julien be stating this in the press.

My thoughts are
-Larger Processing Plant than imagined
-Rail infrastructure to be fast-tracked
-We have a share of an interest in a Hydroxide plant (perhaps more than one if Europe is engaged)
-Plan B was always CDL for redevelopment (but as a last resort , I think we do not need that Plan B unless a major player makes an offer just to do a JV with CDL)

The costings below are rather specific for Julien to quote, for battery plant I think they have researched further and realised this project can be made to a larger scale very quickly. (my speculation). The discussions on ownership are just noise, which is already determined in outcome by DRC Goverment, just not actioned yet unfortunately.

The work of the 8th edition of Rebranding Africa Forum ended on Friday 21 October 2022 at the Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in Belgium. Focused on the implementation of investment attraction strategies by African countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo was represented by its Minister of Industry Julien Paluku Kahongya.

On this occasion, Julien Paluku shared the experience of the Democratic Republic of Congo on the process of installing a first plant for the manufacture of electric battery precursors in the province of Haut-Katanga and setting up Special Economic Zones that offer tax, para-fiscal and customs benefits to investors, by developing his country's Master Plan for Industrialization valued at 58.4 billion US dollars.

He continued:

"The second element that makes the Republic a major element in this energy transition is today in Europe as everywhere else everyone wants to get out of vehicles with combustion engines in circulation, they must be replaced by electric vehicles and again the elements that go into the composition of these electric batteries are in particular Cobalt, Lithium, Manganese Etc we have in the Democratic Republic of Congo 70% of world reserves of Cobalt on this point, there is no match, the DRC is a very important player in the energy transition. According to Bloomberg, if it is necessary to install a plant to manufacture electric batteries in the USA, it would cost 117 million USD, the same factory in China 112 million USD, the same factory in Poland 65 million USD against the same factory under the same conditions in the DRC would cost only 39 million USD it means that investing in the DRC in the manufacture of electric batteries costs three times less in the USA, in China and elsewhere. The DRC is much more attractive and competitive in this sector."
Taking advantage of the forum of this forum which brought together representatives of African countries, entrepreneurs and technical and financial partners from other continents, the Minister of Industry called on the countries of the black continent to mutualize to transform the economies of imports to local processing economies of natural resources.

"We presented to the Council of Ministers the establishment of a Congolese battery council, it will be the governance structure of all these Energy Transition issues, it remains only for the President of the Republic to appoint the leaders of this council which will have within it a technical committee that will be composed of experts from all sides who know the subject well so that we ensure that the governance of this chain of value of Electric Batteries becomes a structure both technical and operational for moving forward. Between Zambia and us, we are already on the right track and we invite other African countries that are producers of these elements that I mentioned so that we effectively install this large regional value chain that will capture world markets," he said.
For Julien Paluku, speaker at this forum, the lack of infrastructure and energy in this country are opportunities that investors should seize.

"We cannot raise the processing of our minerals effectively if there is no infrastructure, if there is no energy. I have always said that Africa's problems are not problems. These are opportunities to seize," said Julien Paluku.

You know,

It almost feels like with the ML about to be granted, you could finally gently cup your balls and with huge relief slowly lift them up and out from the drawer that has been menacingly threatening to slam shut for years now. Sometimes that draw has had a big hairy sweaty hand on it and has looked like some sadistic bastard was about to slam it shut slowly moving it back an forth, but so far every time it looks perilously close we have heard a calming voice as we look over our shoulder, its Nigel.
He arrives places a hand on shoulder playfully comments on our dishevelled state as he proceeds to carefully and with precision shave our haggard and weary balls, thoughtfully placing a hot towel on them and removing the menacing hand from the drawer we feel intimately safer. He then produces from what seems like nowhere a moisturising cream to rejuvenate our fatigued war-torn family jewels, much better you say out loud, but he has already gone......however we realise we are still standing here still with balls in the drawer ffs, but they do feel great, I must ask him where he gets that moisturising cream from.

Once again a hand is on the drawer, vexatiously threatening once more to slam it shut. "Nigel, Nigel where are you I shout...."





(Disclaimer, if this is thought to be in bad taste I will take it down and apologise)
This older post from TDITD still very relevant . Sorry mate for revisiting but it's a classic .

Sorry all just looking for a bit of info and I'd thought I'd throw it out there as we have a few accounting and tax types in the Group

Does anyone know the answer to the question below or able to provide any guidance?

If a person (who is holder of shares) dies on an ASX non-trading day (ie a weekend) what price should be used for the cost base of the shares for the beneficiaries of the estate???

Is it the closing price on the last trading day prior to death?? Or potentially the opening or closing price on the first trading day after death??


I've been doing plenty of digging but can't seem to get a definitive answer to my problem or a guideline or ruling from the ATO site

It would be the last trading day, representative of the market value at the date of death.

But - you only get the market value cost base uplift if the shares were held pre-cgt by the deceased. If for whatever reason the shares were held pre CGT in the company owned by the deceased, then that would have a whole heap of other tax consequences.

If the deceased held the share post CGT - then you inherit their original cost base.

There's a bit of tax planning that you can do around this scenario (depending on the will and the intentions of the executor/beneficiaries )

On the Cami website on 13359 it states:

"active transformation PR (Permit de recherches) en PE (Permit d'exploitation)", or "active transformation PR to PE".

Always been this way?

My response to someone on the Crapper about going down to 36%.

"Will never be 36% . AVZ would ditch the Cath deal and find a new partner and retain majority . DRC gov must retain minimum 10% . So in that worst case AVZ 60% China 30% DRC 10% . AVZ then pull in another partner and still retain majority . I am sure the AVZ team have back up plans . We are in the box seat regardless . " wombat74

Lol this article filthy rich was one of the ones I was talking about, we are getting clues and ‘nice words’ quite regularly.
I’m sorry to insult you but I was thinking exactly the same thing after reading this.
I’m thinking a lot of the infrastructure bollocks will be arranged already and tied into MSEZ that will come out but also that we are doing a JV with a westerner at CDL to ‘fast track’ it. Finance is all but signed and exciting drilling results on the tips of their tongues……but for the love of god give us the bloody ML and let us build the fucking thing already

Umm ahhh hmmm awkward, we are STILL waiting to be served.........only something like a YEAR now. However we have had some very nice words lately, maybe I can feed my kids some nice words for dinner tonight, I may pop down to the local Porsche dealer and buy a Taycan with my newfound nice words.

"Hows your portfolio" -A
"Ahhh mixed bag mate, in the plus but suspended and havent been able to touch for about 24 weeks mate" TDITD
"Christ thats a bugger mate, have you at least got some nice words" -A
"Fuck me mate, recently I've been overflowing with nice words, my portfolio is absolutely teeming with some very nice words" -TDITD
"Mate wtf you complaining about then, those nice words will have you set for life you lucky bastard" -A.

Many/most/if not ALL of us very patient and long-suffering shareholders are somewhat bored/fatigued/disinterested of words now, this may come as a surprise to the BOD but, action would be nice fellas, you know like a whole year of talking and nice words is really undoubtably marvellous, however some of us astonishingly demanding shareholders would now like some tangible results, an outcome even. Its almost as if we are investing to make money and go mining.

Anyhow, back to the nice pretty words fellas, that'll help.
I may throw a couple of "imminents" on the BBQ later, kids will love it :rolleyes:

Aaaarhh TITS you nearly got through that without any swearing…. Soooo disappointed!!

@FilthyRich2 loved your post, after a day of listening to some good old 70’s music I’m feeling good and back in the game

And @Wombles74, did I read your post correctly “the AVZ team are backing up your plans!” Does that mean they’re adopting your long requested TO plan?

Just joking, none of us want a TO

@Winenut(s)…. A mantle for all those listed above my good man 🏆
