AVZ Discussion 2022

Interesting, really interesting

I thought it was interesting. If you read the article it seems there is an existing mechanism (at least at the domestic level) for the US government to also deploy assets to protect strategic interests. My vibe is that they’d “behind closed doors” back in a private US company to be the face of Manono (and DRC by extension) investment with support. I think that’s the logical and communicated pathway. But if that goes to shit, the Government could intervene directly to secure strategic interests. I think USA will get Manono, it’s the price and appeasing DRC brown bag wanters that seems to be the barriers.

I wasn’t referring to you, perhaps you have the resident idiot on ignore and missed the post below yours, and I won’t reply directly to him, as it would leave another copy of his shitstain on the threads

Interesting read. Wasn’t fully aware of the Pentagon investment in a US domestic rare earths operations. It’s a contentious investment it seems and investing more broadly say into Africa will be a lot riskier. However with the minerals for security deal it’s essentially combining the two together and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Pentagon gives Manono its first major intl investment.

These experts think the DOD is not as dependent on lithium the same way as it is for rare earths to warrant a similar MP materials style deal (equity and material floor price), so its unlikely a similar deal with be made with DOD. DOE have some deals but are more loans than floor price/equity positions.

The light blue outlines are Kobold’s - those who know our outline by heart will see where we are

5km away?

kobold Vs 13359

kobold Vs 13359

IMO.
Kobold dont need 13359!
4km away from the pegmatite, I'm sure if they start digging they'll find lithium.
What could play out is that Kobold spend the next few years digging in hope, maybe they do maybe they don't strike it lucky. In the meantime, ICSID plays out.

YES AGREE AVZ didn't need to waste another 4 to 5 mill...imo
AVZ SH must be paying big LAWYERS FEE...IMO..!

Having lawyers that understand what completion means in contract law is well worth the money

More importantly why did you stop responding to me brah?

Was it because I kept flagrantly dunking on you with facts?

Gday fellow holders.
My first post here - a little awkward - & without pissing in pockets, may I say that for so long & especially in our darkest times, TSE posters have led the charge making & breaking AVZ news. TSE used to be home to AVZ’s best & brightest - plenty still flying the flag, but plenty more have dropped off.

Trolls have always been about, but lately this place has sadly been dragged into the gutter by the likes of Lenny & his mongrel dog mates. Hope this place can work its way back to somewhere near what it used to be, without being clogged up by crypto poop & Lenny’s preschool level word salads.

 

[Cobberoonski]

Gidday, long story, but you are welcome to ask @Winenut (click on the RHS envelope) for an invite to the ZERO TROLLS conversation, where TSE still remains the home of TSE best and brightest, and conversation continues as it did before…, well, long story

But this thread is fucked until Zeeb0t can login in and cleanse it of shitstains

Thanks Xerof. Just checked into HC & saw your post there - can’t give you any more than “trust me I’m me” for now because I’m suspended till the 2nd for calling Lenny out for the shit for brains he is. I won’t trouble Wino for now. Would be nice to know what you blokes probably have a bit of inside running on, but I’ll kick back for now safe in the thinking that things are tracking as they seem. In the meantime, there’s expletive-laden fun to be had here with the moron.

Hooker's Confession
A couple were lying in bed together on the morning of their 10th wedding anniversary when the wife says, 'Darling, as this is such a special occasion I think that it is time I made a confession...... Before we were married I was a hooker for eight years..'

The husband ponders for a moment and then looks into his wife's eyes and says, 'my love, you have been a perfect wife for 10 years! And I cannot hold your past against you..

Maybe you could show me a few tricks of the trade so as to spice up our sex life a bit..?'

She said, 'Darling I don't think you understood me correctly, my name was Brian and I played rugby for Wales .........'
