AVZ Discussion 2022

[Flight996]

That shit-eating rent-seeker Cong Ma may be in a world of pain:

• His $US20m held in escrow at Rawbank mysteriously vanished,
• Zijin Mining is building a mine on a proportion of his 'reclaimed' 15% of Dathcom,
• His accomplice, Cominiere got bitch-slapped (again) by the ICC, and is in the hole to the tune of 39m euros plus interest,
• AVZ looks increasingly likely to win its claims at both ICC and ICSID arbitrations (if they proceed to completion), including the ICC arbitration about Cominiere's breach of the Dathcom JV, which affects Cong, and
• the ultimate ignominy, Felix may do a deal with the USA that ultimately sees AVZ retain 75% of something and a mining licence, which cuts Cong out of the game entirely.

I feel sorry for the poor man. He just made an error of judgement, and is clearly a model citizen and a pillar of the community.

I must say. The irony isn't lost on me, where carrot stock tried to use Trump's slogan, make manono great again, and Trump has turned around in support of AVZ now.

Time for, MAKE AVZ GREAT AGAIN

Re: Red Penny's response to my request for information:

In late 2023 and in mid-2024, I wrote to senator the hon Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs about the scope of government assistance provided to AVZ Minerals by the Australian Government.

I received no response to the first request, and an auto-reply to the second saying, amongst other things that her priority in responding is to her South Australian constituents.

On 17 March 2025, I again wrote to senator Wong about the same issue. Unfortunately her response was another auto-reply.

The senator clearly has no intention of providing a meaningful response, which is disappointing since AVZ is an Australian company with >20,000 shareholders and a globally significant resource. It seems that the USA is providing more assistance than our own government...albeit from a position of self-interest.

While the federal government bleats endlessly about the role of new-age materials in combating climate change, and invests $AU$1 billion of taxpayers money competing head-to-head with the Chinese in developing solar panels where the Chinese have scale and technological superiority...it cannot provide any support to AVZ, which is fighting a David and Golliath battle against DRC and Chinese entities determined to steal its resource.

With a federal election about to be called, and with polls suggesting a very close election, you would expect senator Wong to be more politically savy. She should be cultivating votes and shoring up support, rather than pissing off voters.

It's a slow day.

She's been too busy at box hill trying to win over Chinese voters for an election by telling them they'll get free GP lol. I wish I was joking

Anyone looking for some comic relief should follow this paid muppet of a journalist by Commiere/Zijin. I’ve replied to comments but he’ll tend to delete anything that doesn’t support his narrative

AVZ Minerals wins legal battle over Congo lithium mine dispute

Australian company AVZ Minerals reports that an International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) tribunal has issued a partial award ordering the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) state-owned Cominière to pay €39.1m ($42.4m) plus interest for failing to comply with emergency orders.

This ruling follows a dispute between AVZ International (AVZI) and Cominière over breaches of the Dathcom joint venture agreement (JVA) related to the Manono lithium project, one of the largest hard rock lithium deposits globally.

AVZ originally held the permit to develop the Manono project.

The DRC Ministry of Mines signed the ministerial decree awarding the mining licence for AVZ Minerals’ Manono lithium project in May 2022.

However, the DRC Mines Ministry revoked the permit in 2023, citing delays in project development.

The rights were later awarded to a subsidiary of China’s Zijin Mining, leading AVZ to seek relief through the ICC, reported Reuters.

The tribunal confirmed that Cominière violated prior injunctions by extending mining title PR 13359 under its own name, splitting PR 13359 and assigning PR 15775 to Manono Lithium, a joint venture with China’s Zijin Mining Group.

Cominière’s attempt to overturn the emergency orders was rejected, and the tribunal reaffirmed the injunctions issued in May and November 2023. The tribunal also reserved its decision on any additional penalties if Cominière continues to breach these orders.

In a separate legal case (ICC 27769/SP), Cominière and Jin Cheng Mining Company, a subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group, filed a complaint against AVZI, claiming breaches of the Dathcom JVA.

The ICC Tribunal has issued a partial award, rejecting AVZI’s objection to Dathomir Mining Resources SARLU (Dathomir) joining the case as a party. Dathomir is now officially part of the proceedings.

Addressing media speculation, AVZ confirmed that its representatives visited the US to explore potential funding for the Manono lithium project.

Although AVZ met with interested parties, no formal investment proposals have been received and discussions remain preliminary.

AVZ assured shareholders it will provide updates as required.

"AVZ Minerals wins legal battle over Congo lithium mine dispute" was originally created and published by Mining Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
