OMG that is hilarious!Did anyone else get the venue confirmation for Brisbane ?

I wonder why there

I can bring the van, we shall drive them there if this ‘presentation’ is just hot air. No lube !!!Did anyone else get the venue confirmation for Brisbane ?

Ah ok, good advice.Despite the danger of indicating I may actually have a functioning brain I wonder if you would have to have an email address attached to the Automic Share Registry in order to receive an invite to the AVZ roadshow (apart from any other shareholding criteria)
They can't email you if they don't have an email address they can access and I don't think they're going to send everyone letters in post
Just thoughts...
Damn I don't own enough shares for an invite. Wonder what the cutoff is.
News by end of month it looks like. Promising.
I’ll wait till Monday for mine just in case Oz Post is running late before asking. Checked the mailbox after getting home from witnessing the Roar put in another inept performance and nothing yet. Had invites to previous ones and haven’t exactly had the opportunity to buy/sell this year.You still can email them and ask for invitation. You might get one depending on where you are located.
Given I once lived around the corner from that esteemed location, instant recognition leads to constant laughing.Did anyone else get the venue confirmation for Brisbane ?

No need to get excited.1m, methinks.
I admit, as a non-native speaker, I tend sometimes to make grammar mistakes. I usually ignore people who are trying to make laugh out of it although I've met only very few of them in my life. But since you are doing this for a second day in a row, I would respond to you. Do you really think being a native English speaker gives you some kind of superiority or making you look smarter? I can fluently speak 4 languages and as I can see you're barely able to speak one. In my eyes you are just an uneducated dickhead drinking out his own life and making zero contribution to this community apart from your dumb jokes. How is my grammar now?
@wombat74 and @Nellie17 I’ve been off the forum since around lunchtime and just going through the posts
I can’t tell you both how happy it’s made me to see you two back communicating just like in the old days and those posts I’ve shared of you both before
Let no one here worry how this love story ends, for I can honestly say that I’ve seen your future…. below
You can have my chair mate, it’s right next to Moneybags… Fun HeyDamn I don't own enough shares for an invite. Wonder what the cutoff is.

Anyone know what the criteria is?
Or has Nige already heard I'm a deranged, alcoholic, intellectual pygmy that will provide nothing more than fluff and a few crass interjections whilst simultaneously demolishing all available snacks with wanton abandon?
Also does Nige know that there is a great big section in the middle of Australia between Fremantle and Sydney Harbour where a few shareholders might just reside?![]()
New data from Benchmark shows the scale of the "generational challenge" facing the lithium ion battery supply chain. A total of 11.2 million tonnes of lithium (LCE) will need to be produced in 2050, over 20 times the amount produced last year.
Indeed, all of the lithium produced in 2021 would last just a month in 2040, and barely two weeks in 2050.
Most of the batteries currently produced go to the automotive industry for use in electric vehicles. But Benchmark's CEO Simon Moores expects the majority of demand to come from energy storage in 2050 as the world deploys ever more renewables for a sustainable future.
In the US, the recent Inflation Reduction Act is boosting demand for battery energy storage systems in the country. But with the vast majority of these systems using LFP cathodes, the US could find its ambitions constrained as 99% of LFP is currently produced in China.
In China, lithium prices reached an all-time high on Wednesday. Benchmark's IOSCO-approved, market-derived prices aren't showing any signs of an imminent decline. Battery-grade lithium carbonate prices in China have risen by 108% this year so far, as assessed by Benchmark.
Thanks,
Matthew, Henry and Rachit

THIS WEEK'S TOP STORIES
Lithium has to scale twenty times by 2050 as automakers face generational challenge
The world will need more than twenty times the amount of lithium than was mined last year to meet demand by mid-century, according to new data from Benchmark, driven by growth in energy storage and electric vehicles.
Annual production of 11.2 million tonnes LCE will be needed by 2050 with energy storage making up two-thirds of battery demand by that date, due to the growth of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
The data highlights the challenge of scaling up lithium production from new mining projects, which can take over five years to bring online. Near-term, a total of 2.9 million tonnes LCE will be needed by 2032, more than the 2.7 million tonnes of cumulative global production of lithium between 2015 and 2022, according to Benchmark’s Lithium Forecast.
"We are at just the beginning of a generational challenge, not one that’s going to be solved in the 2020s."
Simon Moores, Benchmark CEO

Lithium prices touch record high in China as EV sales momentum remains
Lithium prices in China touched an all-time high on Wednesday, continuing a record-breaking streak that is putting increasing pressure on automakers and battery producers to secure supply from mining companies.
The price of Chinese battery grade lithium carbonate rose by 1.7% in the past week following the country’s National Day holiday to reach a record high of RMB 532,000 per tonne ($74,475), according to Benchmark’s Lithium Price Assessment. The price has risen by 108% year-to-date.
Prices for lithium hydroxide, which is used in high nickel batteries, rose by 1% to RMB 528,000 ($73,925), a jump of 147% this year.
"IOSCO assured pricing, with expert analysts speaking directly with the market, provides a far more accurate set of price data rather than relying on trade stats."
Caspar Rawles, Benchmark Chief Data Officer

China’s LFP dominance could constrain US energy storage deployment
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) has become the cathode chemistry of choice for energy storage applications around the world.
But China’s near monopoly in its production could hamper efforts to deploy such systems in North America.
Installations of energy storage are set to accelerate in the US, following the passing of theInflation Reduction Act this summer, which provides tax credits for the deployment of large batteries that help integrate renewable energy into electricity grids.
"North America is focused on the grid, but they are constrained by LFP supply.”
Aran Waid, Benchmark Analyst
No need to get excited.
The company simply can't disclose anything what has not been disclosed to the ASX.
They can tell the crowd the inner workings, but nothing which can be construed as insider stuff.
However as a SH, after 6 months, of course I would like to hear, without BS, what took place from the horse's mouth.
I hope that makes sense.
That and if you want to criticise some parties in the Drc, particularly the govt, well, you wouldn't want it posted for all to read in an asx announcement...Cruiser51, you beat me to it.
Your post made absolute sense. The company cannot withhold important or market sensitive information in order to release it at a later date to select shareholders only. As you say, all will be revealed in ASX releases.
Noting that we live in an information vacuum and there are many unhappy shareholders, I suspect the real purpose of the roadshows is to control the narrative and put spin on ASX news releases leading up to the roadshows. Unfortunately, if the news needs spinning, it may not be as good as we hope.
Nonetheless, still hoping for a good outcome.
Cheers
