Don't underestimate uncle Sam and his moneybags when talking about matters of national security - if the US buy the complete project they will pay fair price IMO. What's another 6.2B USD+ (floor price) on a 36 trillion dollar debt to secure control of the lithium market and counter China's control.
If part of the negotiations are that the mining license is issued, sovereign risk goes down considerably.

Probable DRC-US Minerals Agreement: Félix Tshisekedi Wants Washington's Military Strengthening in the East
President Félix Tshisekedi has made no secret of his intention to sign an agreement with the United States to accelerate his country's development.
This new deal in the making, he indicated during the Fox News interview, is expected to focus primarily on minerals, in exchange for a significant military strengthening in favor of the DRC.
Furthermore, Félix Tshisekedi is counting on this agreement to strengthen strong and permanent sanctions against Rwanda and its M23-AFC proxies, the main aggressors in eastern Congo.
According to President Félix Tshisekedi, the current instability and insecurity in the region make it impossible to attract investors.
He therefore suggested "stopping Rwanda's aggression and taking tougher measures against Paul Kagame's regime."
During the same interview, Félix Tshisekedi also discussed Kinshasa-Beijing relations, specifying that China remains a partner, while also making it clear that Kinshasa also wants a solid agreement with Washington to accelerate the pace of his country's development and for the well-being of its people.
In his responses, Félix Tshisekedi spoke of a win-win partnership without selling off the country's resources, emphasizing the sharing of the DRC's subsoil in the interest of developing Silicon Valley businesses and other sectors that rely on strategic minerals.
Win-Win

Business Climate: OHADA and the DRC Agree on the Creation of an International Arbitration Center in Kinshasa
The Democratic Republic of Congo is preparing to take a major step in improving its business climate. During a meeting held on Monday, March 17, 2025, in Kinshasa, the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Planning and Coordination of Development Aid, Guylain Nyembo, received a delegation from the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA), led by its Permanent Secretary, Mayatta Ndiaye.
This meeting provided an opportunity to discuss OHADA's efforts to support the reforms implemented by the DRC to make the country a more attractive and competitive investment destination.
Among the topics discussed, the revitalization of arbitration through the establishment of the CCJA Representative Office in the DRC was highlighted as a "key project." »
Modernizing the Business Legal Framework
The arbitration center, an extension of the CCJA, will be tasked with modernizing the DRC's business jurisdiction by providing a reliable mechanism for resolving commercial disputes.
"We are pleased to announce the immediate and urgent implementation of this project, which will benefit not only investment contracts, but also all contracts related to the exploitation of the DRC's natural resources," said Mayatta Ndiaye.
The establishment of this center is seen as a strategic lever to strengthen the DRC's position as a key player in attracting foreign investment and promoting sustainable growth on the African continent.
The reforms undertaken, such as the efficient operation of the One-Stop Shop for Business Creation, demonstrate the Congolese government's sustained efforts to improve its economic environment.
This new arbitration instrument will thus position Kinshasa as a strategic hub for the settlement of commercial disputes in Central Africa and beyond, confirming the DRC's position as a preferred destination for investors.
Kinshasa: Félix Tshisekedi Launches the Project to Develop the Strategic Business Climate Plan
The Head of State chaired a high-level meeting on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at the African Union City, on the project to develop the "Strategic Business Climate Plan for the Structural Transformation of the Economy."
For President Félix Tshisekedi, the business climate in the Democratic Republic of Congo faces challenges such as administrative burdens, legal and judicial insecurity, tax and parafiscal complexity, infrastructure deficits, and limited access to financing.
The development of the "Strategic Business Climate Plan" is expected to take seven months.
On this occasion, the Head of State recommended that this document be used as a lever to, among other things, "facilitate business creation, reform our tax and administrative system, and promote "Made in Congo" products to stimulate local production."
The Head of State called on all stakeholders to pool their efforts for the success of this project.
"I strongly encourage public authorities, the private sector, as well as our technical and financial partners to maintain the dynamic of constructive collaboration that has fueled our discussions today. This synergy is essential to the success of the strategic plan," he said.
For the Head of State, "the DRC is a land of opportunity.
It is time to seize them, transform our potential into real wealth, and guarantee a better future for future generations."
These meetings, which brought together various stakeholders from the public and private sectors, as well as technical and financial partners of the DRC, follow the publication of the results of the National Business Climate Barometer (BNCA) survey in 2023, which revealed a score of 37/100.

Congo president says willing to partner with US on minerals-for-security deal
Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi said on Wednesday that his country is willing to partner with the US on a minerals-for-security deal.
Tshisekedi told Fox News host Bret Baier that such a partnership would allow Congo to extract and process its critical minerals to benefit US companies, while also building up the African country’s defense and security capabilities.
“I think that the US is able to use either pressure or sanctions to make sure that armed groups who are in the DRC can be kept at bay,” Tshisekedi said.
Democratic Republic of Congo, which is rich in cobalt, lithium and uranium among other minerals, has been fighting Rwanda-backed M23 rebels who have seized swathes of its territory in the east of the country this year.

CATH did NOT "save our arse", they offered better terms than the litigation funding and they waited till the very last minute to do it. Its true CATH added MASSIVE amounts of value to the project taking it from ~20c to over $1 back in the day when literally no one but the Chinese were willing to invest in lithium but this its business, our management team have indicated they have a good relationship with Mr Pei but he, nor them have been able to get us unstuck. If there is a better outcome for shareholders, I am sure our management team will be all over it.
That said I agree, there are some crazy expectations on value floating around and timing will be essential to maximise any value we can extract. We are probably at the very bottom of the lihtium cycle and will be back to peak in 3-5 years (for every tesla car they torch, thats another battery/EV they need to make
).

Re share trading for unlisted companies, i have noticed that this group Primary Markets is offering its services. https://www.primarymarkets.com/
AVZ is being shown with a buy offer of 15,000,000 shares at 0.1 cents with 2 small sell offers at the highest price of 50 cents.
There appears to be no letup in the campaign against small shareholders.
