AVZ Discussion 2022

[TDITD]

If we were getting the complete pineapple or the whole tenement it would have happened at the same time as the new decrees

The DRC government are leaving their options open. Which means negotiations are happening. Most likely because they want to bully us into legally giving up the north or we get nothing imo

I still dont think this is the case, I mean I know that's what Zijin want.
It seems that's their play now. An I'm sure we spoke about this before too, around the time of the news came out about the Zijin letter. Unless I'm living another life while I'm asleep and dreaming all this shit up, in which case I've lost it more than I thought.

Remember the consensus then being that Zijin will hold us up block us and fuck us raw with a pineapple while they race ahead on the northern part, so we will be screwed. God, I hope people are still with it enough to come to that consensus again and not go running into the arms of the villain Zijin.

Feel like this needs to be remembered in all this too ....

FUCK MUPANDE

How can it be in the DRC's best interest for Zijin to slow us down ? Don't they want this stuff out of the ground ASAP .

 

[ptlas]

Not sure. They may want a few more carrés too. Doubt they would push it though if AVZ accept ceding the north as it stands.

I'm sure they would push it

So do CATH

I'm sure if there is a deal where Zijin get the north it will include agreements on sharing the power station and not acting against the DRC's best interest. Doubt anyone would fuck with that if it means getting supply.

TBH, whats it look like?

Thats a pretty large no from me, they have been stalling the ML since 21 (https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20211125/pdf/453d90kq7jgbsy.pdf)

Seems they want the best 'Deal' and are playing everyone interested off against each other. Its 2023 DICKHEADS, get a move on with it.

Also why don't they ask Zijin to play above board though, as you know, "we are cleaning up the mining sector"

My frustration towards this 'Competent' Government grows by the millisecond.

Yeah, lets be honest though, would anyone in their right mind trust Zijin to not hold us up and not screw us over the hydro plant.
Zijin have proven they don't give a fuck about DRC; with every action they have taken so far.
Like they will be held to some words saying, "now don't be naughty again, sign here".

If it happens like that, and it conceivably could, I'll wait for the initial stampede and for price to even out, but my trust in the company and DRC Govt would be shot to pieces.

No one knows at this stage . Be worse if we fight them in the courts for next 2 years .

Guys I've created a simple counter script in HTML which counts up in USD $ 300,000 every 24hours. The numbers go really fast.

It's currently at USD $ 84,765,321. This is the current DRC Tax Revenue loss that we calculated last night based ion the 40 weeks delay after the initial decree.

I thought if we could figure out how to host it we could create an embed plug in and use it in twitter as a visual aid. I can't post it here because the code doesn't work in the message function but here's a gif of it working.

Not sure if it's worth it in light of the most recent developments...

This is a great idea Spike !!!
It would be very useful to throw into twitter posts

Yeah it's definitely a good visual reminder. And you can simply add what ever context you need in a particular tweet.

I mean can you imagine how much infrastructure or famine aid this could have provided so far? Farrk me what bunch of overgrown infantile numptys for letting it turn out like this.

The only issue with zijin is the illegal 15%. Seems to me the DRC can issue the ML and AVZ can start the build

If I read the article correctly, Zijin wants 100% of Northern part. How can MoM agree to this demand is beyond me. This is absolutely outrageous, unreasonable and pure robbery of people through corrupt practices.

Something is not adding up. MoM could not possibly agree to this?


In view of the above, Zijin Mining then presented its offer - "This Offer" - in the following terms: "1. A joint venture contract (the "Joint Venture Contract") will be concluded between a designated subsidiary of ZijinMining and COMINIERE, according to which the parties will create a joint venture (the "Joint Venture"), in which the Zijin Mining subsidiary will hold 71% shares and COMINÎERE 29% shares".

This offer concerns the northern part of the Dathcom Mining SA Permit in Manono for which AVZ MInerals is Cominière's only partner to have invested expertise and money in exploration and studies that have led to the certifying the largest lithium deposit in the world while Cominière and its poor engineers at the head of the Technical Department could not imagine it.

Zijin is even more explicit: "After the creation of the Joint Venture, COMINIERE will assign the mining right to the Target Party legally held by it to the Joint Venture, free from any privilege, charge, claim, litigation and default. The research, development and operation of the Targeted Party will be carried out on behalf of the Joint Venture. On the date when COMINIERE assigns the mining right of the Target Party to the Joint Venture by completing all relevant procedures such as registration, registration and notarization, and that the Joint Venture becomes the legal and effective holder of 100% of the rights and interests of the Targeted Party, JIN CHENG will give back its 15% of shares in DATHICOM to COMI-NIERE

Something is not adding up if this is a direct translation of the letter. This letter is almost in the tone of blackmailing.

Awesome.
Just make sure to put a really clear title on it too so it's super obvious that it's DRC lost revenue.

Maybe you should have a second one to for contrast... A snack counter
People can watch the relationship between increasing snacks and increasing lost revenue

This article from this morning is worth a read, notes the cancellation of the decree was outside of the mining law.

Annulation du permis d’exploitation de DATHCOM sur le lithium de Manono : la main noire de Zijin et ses complices démasquée - L'Info qui fait écho

Comme en 2009 lorsque l’australo-canadien First Quantum Minerals (FQM) s’est vu dépouiller de ses droits miniers dans l’ex-Katanga (Haut-Katanga et Lualaba) au profit d’un tiers,…

econewsrdc-com.translate.goog

"concerning the Manono lithium project in the province of Tanganyika. Against all expectations and to everyone's surprise, the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N'Samba Kalambay, miraculously and illegally cancelled, by order of January 28, 2023, the operating permit n°13359 of the company DATHCOM Mining SA much to the anger and disappointment of the populations of Manono. Reason given by the Minister: "conflicts between shareholders", this is not one of the reasons provided for by the mining law of the country."

geez what a 'theft of the century' this would be ... Zijin basically agreeing to renounce the 15% of Dathcom and Cominiere keep the cash so as the south can move forward, if they can have the north....what a deal . wonder how many oh fuck moments were had today, when this article surfaced

 

[Samus]

At the roadshow it was mentioned that the north contained higher Mica. There was also a very clear point made that the vast majority of our CURRENT value was in Roche, basically saying loosing the north would not effect our current value much. At the time I felt this was a clear message to prepare ourselves to lose the north, but all will still be OK. Did others who heard this get the same impression? It sounded very deliberate and was not just a passing comment or off the cuff remark. I spoke to other share holders afterwards, most of which didn't take much notice of this information.

Yes that was exactly the impression that many of us did get and it was discussed in some detail a while back.
This information we're now privy to now wasn't available of course and the speculation was based more around AJN from memory.

Did you read the article tonster?
Really a must for all shareholders I'd say.

Imo there is no fucken way these pricks get away with this shit without the the president knowing and allowing it. No wonder there's been no reshuffle they're all in on it.
