AVZ Discussion 2022

Do you know if there's been a similar situation before where the application has been approved and then withdrawn? I can't find one and suspect we may be in a new space. Because right now it's not up to CAMI right? Aren't we back now in MoM territory?

the application hasn’t been withdrawn ; it’s a partial waiver whereby yes the decrees have been scratched out ; if it was a waiver as opposed to partial waiver then we’d have a problem, as our exploration rights would be gone ; so we’re still in the game with an application whereby environmental , social impact assessment and technical approvals have all been approved which is what is required for approval and from there you wait for the decree to be issued .

Appears MoM is providing some time for Dathcom shareholders legal or not to work things out ; so yes there may well be a timeline they wish to impose on that considering the wording ‘urgent’ and ‘paralysis of project’ , but your guess is as good as mine

Remember Nigel's comments at the Perth RS regarding the Northern section?

Did someone smell something?

Absolutely it came out of left field and looking at his body language he knew what he was saying was bull shit.
an people weren’t coping it.

Makes sense, I hope our lawyers and Marius are in overdrive. And dare I say even our discussions with opponents.

Hey obe whereabouts is partial waiver mentioned?

Yes agree, it’s time to get this shit sorted out , if it requires giving a bit ( not a shit load) in negotiations , so be it

 

[Samus]

Anyway it's a big fucking mess is what it is imo. Since it's all unprecedented I doubt we can expect a resolution to the Exploitation permit within 30 days. That goes out the window.
It seems to be down to negotiations, be great to know if management have even tracked down anybody to negotiate with or had a chat with the MoM or Felix.
That they've still not been able to provide shareholders an update isn't very reassuring.

Definitely

 

[ptlas]

I have a feeling our lawyers are incompetent.

Or they weren't consulted.
Or they're worse than incompetent.

Well they could have released something to sh,s saying that they are actually in country and have deen for some time but have no one to negotiate with and name them. At least its on record.

 

[ptlas]

When this shit settles, is it possible for SH to access the legal advice?

 

[Samus]

Or they weren't consulted.

Seems to be when you're blocked you're blocked in the DRC. People don't pass on information unless it suits their own agenda. According to Nigel this is half our problem, even presidential advisors don't pass on info and instead feed the President a bunch of bullshit. Multiply that by a dozen corrupt ministers and public servants, you've got a real shitshow.

I have been struggling financially now for 10 months whilst in suspension. The thought of giving up part of Monono to the THIEVING SCUM BAGS will be unbearable. I am prepared to struggle for another 12 months than to reward these THIEVING SCUM BAGS.
I am only speaking for myself and my mates who have also invested.

IMO I'd stretches on much longer we'll fail. I can't see the government allow this to continue in deadlock for another 12 months when they've made an EV battery industry a linchpin of their government progression policy. To me it feels like we have a short-ish windows to follow the MoM 'suggestion' of finding amity between shareholders to prevent paralysis of the project as she put it before other measures are put in. Wouldn't be beyond the government to secure what it clearly sees as a strategic industry by enforcing momentum. However that looks.

I just want out now for a reasonable price. And let the scum writhe around in the gutter with each other. But I'll be out. Selfish? Most probably.

Then the gov should solve the problem by the right way

 

[Roon]

Oh I agree. We need top level government to step in and resolve this. But what does that look like for us? It's a gamble. But it's what we need. The alternatives may be so unpalatable for our management that they go unaccepted and we get to force majeur point when it stays deadlocked. We need FT and his government to follow through on all the anti corruption palaver. But that might be naive

 

[mouseflying]

some actions been taken by gov, let’s wait for the results?

See I'm reading that to mean Cominiere were against the partial waiver of the tenement meaning the 82 blocks that were to become the Northern tenement (in other words against splitting the tenement) . And that this constitutes part of the decision to revoke that decree.

In context of below that isn't making a lot of sense. However it stands to reason since the decree is revoked that we're back to the post application status.

the application hasn’t been withdrawn ; it’s a partial waiver whereby yes the decrees have been scratched out ; if it was a waiver as opposed to partial waiver then we’d have a problem, as our exploration rights would be gone ; so we’re still in the game with an application whereby environmental , social impact assessment and technical approvals have all been approved which is what is required for approval and from there you wait for the decree to be issued .

This is where we need more clarity from management as to where we actually stand.

Sooner or later, DRC will need to do the right thing. They have to. The odd is on AVZ side
