Let's see if the Yanks want 2Billion + tonnes of high grade/quality Lithium to get in the hands of their enemy . I'd like to see an actual ICSID date locked in . Day and Date . Time and place . Lock it in .fair call, lets hope not

Hell, i would just prefer if the US bought AVZ ( RD )out ASAP..........fark ISCID!Let's see if the Yanks want 2Billion + tonnes of high grade/quality Lithium to get in the hands of their enemy . I'd like to see an actual ICSID date locked in . Day and Date . Time and place . Lock it in .
That is my point. Why not take everything if they will ignore FINAL ICSID decision ? Why they would hope AVZ will go bust, if they will not respect final ICSID decision anyway ? Yes, they took part of ROCHE DURE, because they need a lake (water) and I believe they intend fully to prepare CDL to be ready for mining, roads and everything else by the time ICSID is about to deliver final order. Only then Zijin will pay us out, but they will have ROCHE DURE and CDL ready to be mined and start making billions immediately instead of paying us now and than build mine, roads etc.. which will take few years. I know lot's of us were millionaires when AVZ share price was over 1 dollar or even 0.78 cents, but don't let fear of losing that to blind you. I really like Carlos common sense and I would like to hear his opinion. Our only danger of getting nothing out of this is, if we lose company to Chinese shareholders, so having enough votes to beat them is everything that we need to focus on. One more observation, I believe that Zijin decided to go this path, because this was the best way for them to secure this monster and eliminate competition from USA,Australia etc..They will get it at the end, but they will pay. Corporate games and we average shareholders should be scared ? Not me !Correct me if I'm wrong ,but have they not extended the CDL border to take part of Roche Dure ?
The Roche Dure numbers and area is known .AVZ has done all the work . Spent 10s of million of $$$. It's sitting there like a ripe peach ready to be picked . In the mean time the scumbags steal the North ,drill and build a mine . While this is going on the remaining part of Roche Dure is intentionally left stranded in the hope AVZ go bust and p1ss off . After which Zijin will swoop and steal all of Roche Dure as well . China wants all of it . Always has .imo
That was serious?Hi All
I aint directing this post to anyone in particular, but i reckon the rag on @geo_au is a bit unfair.
I have done a few winks in the past, so not sure why i havnt received the treatment!
Yes realism is important, but in my opinion, one needs to retain hope that a favourable outcome is still possible, to not have hope, then one can really spiral out of control altogether...
It aint over till its over!!........just my opinion
There are a few things going on behind the scenes, confirmed to me by a number of sophs in the inner sanctum, i am not at liberty to say for many reasons and to be honest, i am still sceptical myself given all the rumours in the past didnt bear fruit , but i hold hope none the less and everyone should too.
Aside from that, personally i ask myself all the time, if we are truly fucked and our only hope is ICC / ISCID arbitration decisions which could take years to determine , then why hasnt DRC / COMINIERE given Zijin the green light to start construction on RD ?
What is the purpose of the lobito corridor initiative by the US ?
What is in it for them ?
Now thats a really interesting article if true......( oops, i winked again)
Now if one had hope, then one could surmise that the purported MOU could be encapsulated with all of the above.
Food for thought.

I think you have had a few Margaritas.For me, (and I have not heard from any contacts for fucking ages, and haven’t asked anyone for anything since the invitation to have a fireside chat with Nige) the most obvious way out of this shit is for AVZ to find a buyer for RD, acceptable to DRC, with them holding their 25%, yes, Cominiere keep the 15% ‘handed’ back by Z for their illegal swap into 15575, Z pays us a decent price for adjusted CDL, Cong might get a few extra pennies, the ML is irrevocably issued as part of the deal, court cases are dropped, the 30% tax for the asset sale is waived, and we all ride off into the fucking sunset with $3 per share
Waddayathink?
Edit: I have had a few Margaritas
Looking at the map, I don't think that RD is included in the slice Zijin stole, but it looks like the border was redrawn to include Lake Likushi in its entirety.Correct me if I'm wrong ,but have they not extended the CDL border to take part of Roche Dure ?

Art of the deal babyHi Carlos, I appreciate your posts and your understanding of AVZ situation. I have a question. If you think that DRC will most likely ignore final ICSID decision, what is a reason behind their decision not to take ROCHE DURE, but only CDL ?
They took our core library and stole the camp we built as well as the section with the water.Correct me if I'm wrong ,but have they not extended the CDL border to take part of Roche Dure ?

Felix is adamant he wants Zijin to "have the north"Art of the deal baby
They will probably try use that as a bargaining chip at some point if they can't make us run out of funds or replace Nigel with a stooge that will sell us out for peanuts
Management have been very clear in official announcements that they are willing to negotiate a compromise and Nigel even said in an interview if Felix is adamant that he wants Zijin to have the north it is something the bod are willing to sit down and talk about
My pessimism about timelines is only IF we need to go the distance
I just think we are better off hoping for the best but being mentally prepared for the worst case scenario of endless games like we have seen so far
Please provide evidence to back up your claim that Trump is as corrupt as Cominiere, Zijin and Felix.PS Never thought I would support him but Trump would have this sorted in a flash.
Like he sorted COVID and rocket man ?
Trump , Cominiere, Zijin, Felix have alot in common![]()
100% agree . However what locking in an ICSID date does is tells the Criminals who run the DRC government that the count down has begun . That a day has been set where all their lies and corruption will be exposed to the World . That these bunch of Chinese puppets who steal from their own people can never never be trusted .Hell, i would just prefer if the US bought AVZ ( RD )out ASAP..........fark ISCID!
FIRB would approve in a heart beat.
Then we can all move on ASAP.
Hi Carlos, thanks for your reply. That's what I am thinking. It's a game and deal will be made. But you mentioned few times in your previous posts that you think that DRC will ignore final ICSID decision. So which option is more logical to you ? That DRC and Zijin will use ROCHE DURE or CDL as bargaining chip to make a deal or DRC will completely ignore ICSID decision and not make a deal with AVZ, but then we are again coming to a question, why they didn't take everything by now ?Art of the deal baby

They don't take everything because they know they are in the wrong and acting against the law and the mining code.Hi Carlos, thanks for your reply. That's what I am thinking.

It really doesnt matter knowing how much anyone has invested with AVZ, we are all on this journey together no matter what.....everyone is paying a price, some more than others.Hi carlos,
I may be wrong, but, I thought some time ago you said you had like 5k or 10k invested in avz?
If so, bloody hard to cop hearing don't have boistrous hopium.... its much easier to say when you've only invested much smaller amount than plenty on here.
Again, I could be wrong and it wasn't you that said that. Apologies for confusion if so.... please clear the air on that and I'll stop grinding my teeth every time you write it...
Hard topic to question while trying not to be perceived as a smart arse or douche. Completely not my intention....
I understand that, and to be honest don't care what they've invested, was just being truthful.. it grinds my gears a bit hearing it constantly.... there's a bit of "if you were in those people's shoes" feeling to it for me....It really doesnt matter knowing how much anyone has invested with AVZ, we are all on this journey together no matter what.....everyone is paying a price, some more than others.
Mate, this whole sordid affair reading and understanding the lengths organizations will go to steal from their common man / woman grinds my gears........period.I understand that, and to be honest don't care what they've invested, was just being truthful.. it grinds my gears a bit hearing it constantly.... there's a bit of "if you were in those people's shoes" feeling to it for me....
As I said, I may have it wrong might not have even been carlos that stated it...
Did i mention that Trump was corrupt ?Please provide evidence to back up your claim that Trump is as corrupt as Cominiere, Zijin and Felix.
