Well they could let us build a mine and we'll take it out of the taxes to be paid...."AVZ will consider what steps it will take in relation to recovery of the penalty."
Any ideas on how we will do this ?
The announcement stated its only a partial penalty
Means that the Com + Zijin ICC case against AVZ, is now a Com + Zijin + Dathomir case against us.
An option is to sell the debt Cominière owes AVZ to a debt collection firm at a discount and use the funds to keep up the fight."AVZ will consider what steps it will take in relation to recovery of the penalty."
Any ideas on how we will do this ?
I wonder if through the local courts we could get the order enforced through seizure of assets? A certain stake in Manono Lithium springs to mind...An option is to sell the debt Cominière owes AVZ to a debt collection firm at a discount and use the funds to keep up the fight.
