AVZ Discussion 2022

Yep th

Yep the devil is in the detail for sure. We dont know how the deal will be structured, we dont know the exact date , we dont know the amount and we dont know when and how we will receive the amount but we do know there is now a very high probability the deal will be done this coming week. Happy days for sure
So what would they be buying? Because even a major asset transaction ie: resource, requires shareholder approval whether the company is listed or not. It's there to protect us from having out assess sold out from under us.

So even if KoBold (or any other) buys just the project rights (like the mining permit, lithium offtake, or JV stake), and not shares in AVZ, it still counts as a disposal of a substantial asset right?
You raise a good point, they are seeking to sell the primary asset, not changing the ownership structure of AVZ but potentially there could be an issue with financial benefit to a related party, so who knows. I am not a lawyer its all legalese to me.
Grok 3 thinks so :rolleyes:

Based on available information, whether AVZ Minerals would require shareholder approval to sell its involvement in the Manono Lithium and Tin Project depends on the specific terms of the transaction and the applicable regulatory frameworks, particularly the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rules, as AVZ was previously listed on the ASX. Here’s an analysis:
  • ASX Listing Rules: Under ASX Listing Rule 11.2, a company must obtain shareholder approval for a disposal of its main undertaking or a significant asset if it would result in a significant change to the nature or scale of its activities. Given that the Manono Project is AVZ Minerals' flagship asset and primary focus, a sale of its entire involvement (currently a 75% stake in the Dathcom joint venture) would likely be considered a disposal of its main undertaking, triggering the need for shareholder approval.
  • Historical Context: AVZ’s acquisition of its initial 60% interest in the Manono Project in 2017 required shareholder approval due to the significance of the transaction, as noted in the agreement with Cominiere and Dathomir. Similarly, a sale of this magnitude would likely require similar approvals, especially given the project's critical role in AVZ’s valuation and operations.
  • Current Status: AVZ has been delisted from the ASX since 2024, which may alter the regulatory requirements for shareholder approval. However, as a company still subject to Australian corporate law (under the Corporations Act 2001), significant transactions like disposing of a primary asset would typically require shareholder consent unless the company’s constitution or specific agreements state otherwise. Additionally, AVZ’s ongoing legal disputes and arbitration proceedings regarding the Manono Project (e.g., with Cominiere and Zijin Mining) suggest that any sale would be complex and likely subject to shareholder scrutiny.
  • Recent Developments: A post on X from May 2025 indicates that KoBold Metals and AVZ Minerals have agreed on a framework for KoBold to buy AVZ’s interests in the Manono lithium deposit. While this suggests a potential sale, there is no explicit mention in the provided information of whether shareholder approval has been sought or required for this specific transaction. Given the scale of the project, it is reasonable to infer that shareholder approval would likely be necessary unless AVZ’s current corporate structure or agreements exempt it.
  • Conclusion: While there is no definitive public statement confirming the requirement for shareholder approval for a potential sale of AVZ’s involvement in the Manono Project, the significance of the asset and standard ASX and corporate governance practices strongly suggest that shareholder approval would be required, especially if the sale constitutes a disposal of AVZ’s main undertaking. For precise confirmation, AVZ’s company announcements, constitution, or updates on the KoBold transaction would need to be reviewed, as these would detail the governance process for such a sale.
Historically, under Corporate Law, where a company sells its principal business, especially if it's essentially a one asset company, the Courts have ruled that shareholders must be consulted.

If not then the directors could be found to be in breach of their fiduciary duties.
I think we will have a vote. Mainly as an insurance policy against a class action. But with the Chinese holding such a large block of voting rights and the likelihood of a low sale price it is potentially risky for management.

The delisting FAQ states ‘operating as a listed entity gives rise to inherent complications for the Company as it seeks to advance its strategy for the resolution of the key disputes and the advancement of the development of the Manono Project’

The vote on a disposal of an asset is a listing rule requirement. And unless specifically mentioned in AVZ’s constitution it wouldn’t be necessary to have o vote when disposing of an asset if not listed as long as the Directors act in 'good faith' as I understand it. But I could be wrong and there could be a relevant section of the Corporations Act that trumps it but I haven’t been able to find it so far.

We will be selling them either Dathcom direct or AVZI. We can’t just sell them GLH as the Dathcom shares are still technically owned by AVZI imo

AVZ /Kobold deal incoming this week ?
View attachment 87444
Nigel sure is a showman, hypothetically, ICSID still proceeding tomorrow. Plus, no evidence of a final deal being announced next week (yet).

Hoping for a double whammy announcement next week, proceedings indefinitely suspended and deal announced.

I just hope the deal comes in early enough for some tax planning.

Got some shares underwater that I need to sell if the sale goes ahead this year.

That and making out trust distribution resolution.

You have the whole next financial year for the planning. Even if we know the deal next week, money will not be in before end of financial year

Taking in consideration the Superannuation legilation proposal, back dated to 1/7/25, it could make a hell of a difference for some.
So each is different. Anyhow one thing is for sure if making a loss the problem is much smaller.

Don't reckon the sale and transaction whatever it is will occur this financial year

Reckon it's a safe bet it will be the 25/26 tax year and you'll have ample time to get your affairs in order

I connected with someone on Instagram who appeared genuine. Our interactions began innocuously, characterised by light-heated banter and shared interests. As days morphed into weeks, we engaged in daily conversations, exchanging personal anecdotes and cultivating a sense of trust. I felt emboldened to divulge sensitive details about my life, convinced I had found a true confidant. However, this misplaced trust would soon lead to a harrowing ordeal.One fateful day, the tone of our exchanges took a sinister turn. The individual I believed I knew transformed into a menacing figure, demanding that I remit 125,000 USDT or face the exposure of my private information. A wave of panic engulfed me as I grasped the potential ramifications of her threats. Fearing the catastrophic fallout from having my personal details unveiled, I reluctantly acquiesced and transferred the funds, hoping this would quell the harassment. Yet, after the transaction, she vanished, blocking me on all platforms. It became painfully evident that I had fallen prey to a sophisticated blackmail and crypto scam.

Kasser II in Congo: Matadi Welcomes a New Batch of Emirati Armored Vehicles, While the Emirates Conquer the Walikale Mines

View attachment 87418

A new batch of thirty Kasser II armored vehicles from the United Arab Emirates docked at the port of Matadi in early May, marking a further milestone in the delivery of more than one hundred armored vehicles to the Congolese army by the Emirati company International Golden Group (IGG).

Manufactured in the Emirates, the Kasser II are mine-resistant, ambush-resistant armored vehicles (MRAPs), designed for transporting troops over hostile terrain.

This capacity building is part of a military strategy aimed at supporting the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) in their fight against the M23 rebels in the east of the country.

The first batches, delivered in January, enabled the deployment of around fifty armored vehicles to Kisangani and Kindu, two logistics hubs with strategic airports for military supplies to conflict zones.

This military partnership with the Emirates does not stop there.

On a more economic level, International Resources Holding (IRH), another Emirati company linked to the powerful conglomerate of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan, recently took control of the Bisie tin mine in Walikale.

IRH acquired a 56% stake in this key site from Denham Capital, an American fund.

The Bisie mine is one of the largest in the world, representing approximately 6% of global tin production.

Moreover, the Kasser II mines are not exclusively Congolese.

On April 27, Togo displayed 12 of these vehicles during a military parade, demonstrating the growing interest of African countries in this armored technology designed for counterterrorism operations.

Thus, behind the delivery of armored vehicles, the UAE's strategic rise in Central Africa is emerging, through enhanced military cooperation and the establishment of strategic mineral resources.

LOL for something that purportedly doesn't matter to him Trump sure does mention his lack of a Nobel Prize a lot. He's such a self aggrandizing dropkick. But I'll happily cuddle him to sleep with any happy endings needed should he sort this mess out and we end up with a reasonable outcome.
i said the same thing.......but happy for you to substitute me out ;)
