AVZ Discussion 2022

[Onthefm]

It would be nice to stop thinking about takeover’s (already explained before why)

Zijin must be getting really desperate, and as usual trying to pull one of their under the table scams and probably involving brown paper bags…. Supposedly now teaming up with short sellers

Surely in an arbitration court this kind of behaviour can be proved

And remember, I know I’ve said this before, but sticking to the facts is always the best way to deal with them

AVZ Minerals spent 6 years & millions of dollars developing the Manono Project, only to have the project, ML & ownership delayed by the illegal actions of Cominiere, Chinese company Zijin and Simon Cong (Read the IGF report)

For 6 years in the DRC AVZ Minerals carried out Soil Sampling; Field Mapping; Consulting; Drilling; Metallurgical Testing; FEED Study; Securing a lease on an Industrial Site for logistics including road haulage, rail & port services & infrastructure rehab to the road from Manono

AVZ produced a 160-page Definitive Feasibility Study; Received DFS Technical Approval; Had a SEZ Agreement; Tendered for Mining Infrastructure and followed the DRC Mining Code. AVZ satisfied all required approvals - Environmental Approval; Financial Capability (through Raising Capital, Negotiating Funding with Pan African DFI’s, Arranging funding and Offtake Agreements with CATH, Obtaining Several Offtake Agreements for both Lithium and Tin) Favourable Cadastral Opinion & Favourable Technical Opinion of the DFS for the Manono project. The Ministerial Decree to award the ML was granted last April then taken away

AVZ Minerals also produced an 85-page Sustainability Report committed to Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) including Socio - economic benefits, Preserving environmental values, Providing a transparent and ethical supply chain, Ending poverty, Improving health and education, Economic growth and employment, Minimising greenhouse gas emissions, Preserving biodiversity, Restoring the Mpiana Mwanga Power Plant and Supplying energy and contributing to the local communities. AVZ's Environmental Study and Impact Assessment Reports included 7 ESIA's and Groundwater Management.

Now, following the DRC taking away AVZ's ownership and delaying the Mining License, AVZ has been forced to take the DRC to International Centre For Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)

That about sums it up great post cheers

DRC appointed 5 law firms to advise…..

Hmmm this is a dead set give away for guilt… otherwise why 5?????

If on the smallest chance the IGF is following this forum can you please investigate the following:

- why the need for DRC gov to appoint 5 different law firms if they followed their laws and followed their own mining code?


- which minister/ministers approved 5 different law firms to be appointed when 1 should suffice?

- also please investigate where the money is coming from that will ultimately pay for these 5 different law firms?

- please confirm that this an abuse of DRC state money given the above?

- above all else however why hasn’t the DRC state acted on the findings of the IGF report re: cominiere and MOP?

It would be great if DRC media got a hold of this and asked the DRC state the above questions publicly on live TV….

The innocent people of Manono and the DRC deserve better than this constant corruption

I wonder what the World Bank thinks about the DRC employing 5 law firms to defend itself against a company complaining that the DRC disregards its own laws so it can feed its corrupt elite, while the World Bank just financially supported the progress of several projects in the DRC, in the education, infrastructure, environment and health sectors.

One could actually say that the World Bank is financing the DRC court case against AVZ.....

Just think who the main contributors are of the World Bank...

Yep you got it, the Western world and not the DRC, or China.

To top off my excellent day the fathers in law's car parked on the street during a short visit has just been fucked over by a council owned gum tree dropping a branch on its roof

My dementia suffering mum's new solar hotwater system has stopped talking to the electric booster because the new Intellihub meter installed by Origin has fucked it up so she can't have a shower and no-one (Solahart, SAPN, Origin or Intellihub) wants to take reponsibility and I've been on hold for close to an hour and now the calls been disconnected

DRC better get their shit together soon or I'm going postal!!!!

Part of the reason may be to have them on retainer at the minimum. This stops anyone else coming along and using them for in country business and research into the case as it would then be a conflict of interest. If you ask me, it's a 3D chess move if you've got "unlimited" funds.

The 5 law firms being hired is probably just another classic DRC case of everyone getting their piece of the pie. Everyones cousin is probably a lawyer.

 

[Flight996]

And a cunning plan.

Yup, and they can have fifty lawyers on board if they choose, but fifty times zero is still zero...

 

[John25]

Problem is …all these fat/entitled bastard will want to be up the front end of the plane…this thing may never get off the ground …court case that is

Intimidation factor.

Works in a local kangaroo court, possibly not so much in an international court. (well here's hoping so any way)
