Will be a miracle if CATL / CATH can influence Tshisekedi to grant Dathcom a mining licence to either the South or all of 13559.

Guys,
There is nothing in the announcement which suggests AVZ has dropped the litigation because of negotiations with the DRC. What was stated is that AVZ has a revised JV and new funding arrangement with CATH and no longer needs to draw upon the Locke Litigation funding facility.
Lets not forget who is funding and running the DRC's legal process. The corrupt Zijin Mining Group and its lawyers who have been collaboratively working with Cominiere. This bunch of criminals don't get a seat at the negotiation table with CATH, AVZ and the DRC Govt.
The restructured partnership with CATH is the window for the DRC to accelerate the development of the Manono project as well as validate AVZ's legal claims and strategy. The DRC wants to build the Mine and get this into production in 2026. This new arrangement is the only way of achieving this. The Litigation process will delay this indefinitely and be enormously costly to the DRC along with the ongoing demise in their reputation.
Also, to cancel the Arbitration process would be to allow Cominiere and the DRC to walk away without any penalties being imposed. At the very least the $Millions they owe us should be an integral part of any negotiation up and until the final date (target date Feb 7) by which the fees are required to be paid for the ICSID Tribunal hearing, scheduled for June.
The Pre completion funding agreement stipulates the Drawdowns are scheduled by end of January. This is for the Litigation process. AVZ and CATH are committed to moving forward with this process if this is needed to get action to take place. The completion of the drawdowns is scheduled in December 2026 as part of the funding agreement. This is firmly stated. There is no compromise on this strategy.
So the fines which have been increasing each day on the DRC, and now amount to in excess of $70M are not going to be waived.
The DRC needs to get its act together swiftly before the end of January and advance the negotiations to grant the Mining Licence to Dathcom (AVZi) now or risk it all at the ICSID Arbitration hearing. It is the only way the Manono Project (area covered by PR 13359) is going to get off the ground and be operational before 2027. Zijin will definitely not be part of this outcome.

Whales,
I dont think a miracle will be required and certainly not the second coming thats for sure.
Its amazing what the US Treasury can achieve at the push of a button and also what the ICSID/ICC can do.
No miracle is required if Felix wants to keep what he has in overseas banks. Its called self-interest/preservation.

Why the change of heart whales ?Will be a miracle if CATL / CATH can influence Tshisekedi to grant Dathcom a mining licence to either the South or all of 13559.
Wasn’t there tantalum aswell?
You have calculated Dathcom value. AVZ own 44.5% of that for profit and selling purposes. And don’t forget the tax tax tax of 30%.
- Key Assumptions (Updated):
- Annual Production: Assume 700,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate annually, containing approximately 6 percent lithium oxide. This equates to approximately 96,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) per year.
- Mine Life: 20 years, based on a 400 million tonne resource.
- Lithium Price: 25,000 US dollars per tonne (long-term average for LCE, reflecting potential future price normalization).
- Operating Costs (OpEx): 4,000 US dollars per tonne of LCE, higher to reflect additional costs for operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Capital Expenditure (CapEx): 600 million US dollars (initial development costs based on recent estimates for similar projects).
- Discount Rate: 12 percent (to account for geopolitical and operational risks).
- Shares Outstanding: 3.5 billion shares.
- Steps to Refine Valuation:
- Annual Revenue
Annual revenue equals annual production multiplied by lithium price.
96,000 tonnes multiplied by 25,000 US dollars per tonne equals 2.4 billion US dollars per year.- Annual Operating Costs
Annual operating costs equal annual production multiplied by operating cost per tonne.
96,000 tonnes multiplied by 4,000 US dollars per tonne equals 384 million US dollars per year.- Annual Cash Flow
Annual cash flow equals revenue minus operating costs.
2.4 billion US dollars minus 384 million US dollars equals 2.016 billion US dollars per year.- Present Value of Cash Flows (Discounted)
Using a 12 percent discount rate and a 20-year project life:
Present value of cash flows equals annual cash flow multiplied by discount factor.
Discount factor for a 12 percent rate over 20 years is approximately 7.47.
2.016 billion US dollars multiplied by 7.47 equals 15.06 billion US dollars.- Adjust for CapEx
Subtract upfront capital expenditure.
15.06 billion US dollars minus 600 million US dollars equals 14.46 billion US dollars.- Per Share Value
Value per share equals adjusted present value divided by shares outstanding.
14.46 billion US dollars divided by 3.5 billion shares equals 4.13 US dollars per share.- Final Valuation
The fair value per share for AVZ is estimated at USD 4.13, or approximately AUD 6.35 (using an exchange rate of 1 USD = 1.54 AUD).
I would settle for 6.35 AUD per share.
We may not end up having to pay that tax, ya never know it seems like endless surprises.You have calculated Dathcom value. AVZ own 44.5% of that for profit and selling purposes. And don’t forget the tax tax tax of 30%.
It’s gonna be cooked because the order of calculation is wrong and dividing Dathcom value by AVZ shares is incorrect but on the same basis you have chosen using your inputs it ends up around the same valuation as @geo_au and I
6.35 (-30%) x 44.5% = $1.97
We could potentially have it dropped to 17% by disposing of GLH in Singapore although we may need to pay the difference when bringing profits back to Australia depending on various factors but otherwise it’s gonna be 30% in either DRC or Australia. Could potentially be avoided if AVZ is sold completely but that is unlikely due to firb and bod indicating previously that they would continue the company if they sold Manono imoWe may not end up having to pay that tax, ya never know it seems like endless surprises.

Nice, even if it is published by the bottom dwelling organization.
Well.... WHILE WE ARE RUNNING SOME GOLDEN OLDIES...I've heard the quality of journalism, the accuracy of research and the general articles have improved immensely since Tommy Fuckface was given the arse....

It will be very interesting when AVZ has the coin to pursue this grub. Pay the very best lawyers to drill down into his finances. Maybe find the motivation behind his complete distain for a genuine Aussie company and it's 20000 investors. Tick tock Tommy!I've heard the quality of journalism, the accuracy of research and the general articles have improved immensely since Tommy Fuckface was given the arse....

Hahahaha that’s wild
