Re: Valuation of mannono using Rio Tito's recent investment in Salar de Maricunga
On 20th of May 2025 Rio Tinto announced it was in partnership with Chile’s state-owned copper producer Codelco to develop the Salar de Maricunga lithium project. Investing $900M to aquire a 49.99% stake in the project.
Salar de Maricunga: Approx. 1.9Mt LCE
Amount Rio Owns:
1,900,000t x 49.99% = 949,810t
Price/tonne LCE
900 milion÷ 949,810t = $947/tonne
Roche Dure: 12.9Mt LCE
Full price for Roche Dure:
$947 x 12,900,000t = $12,216,300,000
AVZ 75% intrest:
$12,216,300,000 x 75% = $9,162,225,000
= $9.1B USD or $4.02AUD/share
Please note:
• All numbers in USD unless stated otherwise
• Salar de Maricunga uses brine method of extraction ( Hard Rock > Brine)
• Roche Dure was measured at approx. 317Mt tonnes of spodumene ore at 1.63% converting to about 12.9Mt LCE
• RIO expects first lithium production by the end of 2030
• VALUE OF TIN NOT INCLUDED!!!!!
Personal coments:
Just comparing the numbers. I don't want to get anyones hopes up and I could be completely wrong so take these numbers with a teaspoon of salt. All my own opinion.

Fanciful to say the least, what if the offer is no where near that are we supposed to continue legal action against a bankrupt company for the foreseeable future?
Hoping for the most possible but competitive pressure is paramount, try and be realistic ffs
US$6 billion, or less than A$3 ps IS lowballingFanciful? What’s fanciful is pretending a Tier-1 lithium asset with a granted mining licence, US backing, and global strategic relevance is worth anything less than $6–8B. That’s not hopium — that’s what the numbers say when you compare it to other deals, and Roche Dure leaves those in the dust in both scale and grade.
If an offer comes in well below that, then yes — shareholders have every right to pursue legal action. And it won’t be against a “bankrupt company” — it’ll be against directors, advisors, and anyone else who facilitated a sale that doesn’t reflect market value. Precedent exists for that.
No one’s saying we hold out for the moon — but lowballing this now under the guise of “realism” isn’t smart, it’s submission. Competitive pressure is exactly what gets us a real price. Settling for crumbs before that pressure plays out is how value gets stolen.
Agree mate, just curious perhaps you or someone else here might know this. To get the CGT discount, does the company have to relist? Or does Nigel have to shut AVZ down and return capital as you say? What are your and others thoughts on this process?
A bit of light reading . Surprise surprise the new Justice Minister is as rotten to the core as the rest of them .

Scapegoats and stolen millions: What the Mutamba case reveals about Tshisekedi’s regime
Congolese ruler Tshisekedi and his allies have made a habit of blaming Rwanda for nearly every crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But while they cry foul across the border, they loot their…ellenkampire.com
Previously our only market was China, despite everything we did to shop it around only China was willing to invest. China was willing to work with us (Cath) and steal from us (Zijin - enabled by DRC corruption). China just want the lithium as the project holds way more importance (and value) downstream for them. The US has now entered the critical mineral space (with EU/other G7 still talking about it but will soon enter as well). IF the peace deal goes through it drastically changes the operating conditions of the DRC (and Africa). Manono is a spec in the total size of African mineral wealth, weather its 5B, 10B, 20B of the value out of the hundreds of billions of value at Manono.... we are still talking trillions and trillions from Africa (so the peace deal will go ahead with/without AVZ). There will be other buyers if not now soon - western companies will not be able to flout ICSID like China can. The good news is US want this resource and seemingly understand its value - lets put that to the test.I meant continuing legal action against a corrupt country in the DRC. Not sure continuing this will give us another chance.
Would never mention numbers but I know several larger holders (of which dominate the register) who would happily sell below this. I am no where near that and would be disappointed bur with several hundred grand in my bank account after this shit show, zero chance I’m holding settlement up for the chance to get back in the ring with the corrupt fuckwit DRC government.
Food for thought at least, suspect we will get less than that rough valuation but still enough to rotate into new an exciting investment opportunities.
Hopefully find out in the next week or two fingers crossed
I just checked the responds to Kobolds Linkedin post again and noticed a Zinjin Metallurgist appreciating the AVZ/Kobold deal and somehow claiming to support them. In whatever way...

Just passing on .........someone posted in The Australian article on AVZ over the weekend , that BOD are well aware that SH expectations are above ATH and mentioned circa of 1.50 and being fully franked was his mail. Anything less and the BOD are aware it may trigger legal action against them.Fanciful?

Does anybody got this article from this weekend in The Australian? Who wrote it?Just passing on .........someone posted in The Australian article on AVZ over the weekend , that BOD are well aware that SH expectations are above ATH and mentioned circa of 1.50 and being fully franked was his mail.

The article by Brad Thompson , however its a shadow copy of other articles and nothing new. I was passing on comments to this article by a poster only. Bonsoir, grow the fuck up!Does anybody got this article from this weekend in The Australian? Who wrote it?
There was talk some time back of paying CGT (30%) in the DRC from the from any sale proceeds.
Is that still the case or wait and see?
