Well done Frank. Hasn’t been easy, I’ve never seen such a hated and trolled stock as AVZ. Just makes this success so much sweeter. I was an early investor in PLS @2c. Sold around 85c and put money into here. Regretted that decision for years watching AVZ SP tank from 37c but held on and now getting the reward for patience. AVZ is simply the best hard rock resource in the world, was always just a matter of time.*Patience can be Frustrating at the best of times, some of us have more than others, now i have to admit i didn't have a lot in the past, but since i jumped on this "Investing in Spec Stocks" rather than Blue Chips scenario to create the $$$$$ i need to buy a place of my own asap, well i've certainly learnt to be very bloody patient over the Yrs, due to losing more than a couple of good shirts along the way
Then i stumbled onto AVZ @ April 2018 - What a ride as i caught the falling knife from @ 0.22c to 0.04c then kept on topping up as funds allowed to my last purchase @ 0.18c in Dec 2020. Now having an Avg @ 6.5c where my conviction to Buy & Hold AVZ 22 times has paid off handsomely, some might say, "Paid Dividends"
Anyone who has been here long enough has certainly seen their share of Doubters, Trolls and Negative Naysayers, but if you ignored all the "Crap" did your research, stuck with your convictions, had the patience / intestinal fortitude to stick it out, then like me you've not only won back all those losses from the past, but are now way out in front, somewhere i could only imagine / dream of just a few Yrs ago
When i / we read articles like the one below, It just reinforces my conviction in my decision to invest heavily in a Company and a Country i truly believe in, sure the ML seems like it's taking forever, and some of us don't have "Forever" as someone used to say, " Your Health is your Wealth" Now i'm not getting any Younger or Healthier atm that's for sure, but i'm confident enough in my research, God knows i research the Shit outta everything, that we're on the right path, track, road with the right Company, at the right time, In the right Country that will have a profound effect on all our lives, not just SH's ( already has for most ) but more importantly the people of the DRC who deserve it more imo.

The DRC Battery Council: Building the sustainable battery supply chain of tomorrow
View attachment 3504
“The DRC is at the heart of the battery value chain, as it is home to about 70% of world's cobalt reserves,” UN Under-Secretary-General and executive secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa Vera Songwe said.
“The country’s mining sector currently accounts for 98% of exports, 18% of GDP and 11% of jobs.
“If the DRC captures 20% of the market share for battery production, it will add around US$54 billion to its income and raise its GDP tremendously.”
The head of state of the DRC and current chair of the African Union Commission (AU), Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, also expressed his enthusiasm for the council to begin pursuing its goals: "The machine is now launched, it is necessary to start right after this forum."
Who’s involved?
The key participants included representatives of Zambia, Tanzania and Morocco, the UN Economic Commission for Africa, African Union Commission and Afreximbank.
Other organisations included Africa Finance Cooperation, African Development Bank Group, Bosch Africa, The Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa, and AVZ Minerals Ltd.
AVZ Minerals was the only aspiring mining company to be invited to the forum, which managing director Nigel Ferguson sees as a logical choice.
“We're sitting with one of the globally significant lithium and tin resources and the current geopolitical climate is gaining greater focus on green technology,” Ferguson said.
“The Australian Ambassador visited just recently and she said the DRC President, Felix Tshisekedi, was very keen on having more Australian companies come and do business in country because we've got a very good reputation for our technical expertise, our transparency and our professionalism.
“We also recognise the importance of having a local community that's realising benefit from a national asset.”
AVZ Minerals has built its brand on a near ‘zero emissions’ operation, with an independent greenhouse gas assessment confirming the Manono Lithium and Tin Project could have one of the lowest carbon footprints of any hard rock lithium mine in the world.
“The DRC and Africa are strategically positioned to play a pivotal role in the global transition to clean energy and decarbonisation and the Manono project will greatly assist to improve the fortunes of the Congolese people, which AVZ Minerals is very supportive (of),” Ferguson commented.
“Giving locals an opportunity to have a skill or a trade and uplift themselves is something that's very close to us,” Ferguson explained.
“The DRC is well endowed with not only natural mineral resources but also in their people. There’s a long history of mining in the country and many people are very technically capable.
“I'm absolutely comfortable with the fact that there's enough technical capacity here to be able to fulfil those roles.”
David McLachlan-Karr, the Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator of the UN in DRC, commented that the Congo has the capacity to change the distribution of benefits from the green mineral value chains.
“Investors believe in this project and are involved. The work will be very complex, requiring a focused approach,” McLachlan-Karr said.
“Investing in this sector in DRC won’t just yield financial returns, but will be vital for the global reaching of the Paris agreement, and improving lives in DRC.”
