AVZ Discussion 2022

[j.l]

Given the latest announcement, I believe this is the current situation.
AVZ have exposed all the corrupt pigs running the DRC and they're just so offended by that they've refused to talk with AVZ.

By the excitement displayed by Kobald, it would appear that the DRC have told them they can have Manono south already.
But with it tied up in the courts by AVZ, there's no way they would or could take on that risk, as well as the reputational damage. They would be complicit in DRC corruption if they pulled a Zijin.

So they have to pay off AVZ.
It looks like there is no relationship or communication between AVZ and DRC.

I think AVZ could reasonably say "nup" untill at least all time high value is offered.

With regard to there being no relationship between AVZ and DRC, I think you're right.

If I recall correctly, in the announcement from AVZ of the revised agreement with CATH there's wording that could be read the same way - i.e. that CATH would make representations to the DRC on AVZ's behalf.

One of these perhaps?

Exactly like that - except with some triumphing quote like "persistence over pain"

P.s. when was this from? My initial investment must've been late to the party.

Muks, it’s somewhere in this document, I’ve just forgotten what page the compensation (damages) was listed on

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5934d2ae6b8f5beeb5ba23f3/t/67d3bd288dbce72fde15904f/1741929783803/20250310+27720+SVE+-+Copie+de+Courtoisie+de+la+Sentence+Partielle_en.pdf

Page 25 @muks mentions penalties (damages) of around US$9billion relating to Cominiere so I’m not sure if this is the actual document or source you want.

I do recall AVZ’s compensation from the DRC being between US$8-$10billion but don’t remember the source. Cominiere is 90% owned by the DRC State and the DRC revoked the license through their Mining Ministry and CAMI.

I imagine the compensation of around US$10billion is the amount being claimed by us through DLA Piper

But as @Xerof suggested, @Carlos Danger is the best man to ask when it comes to seeking legal information.

Thanks Dave, at 167 pages I'll get the AI to have a look!

Anyone in the market to buy AVZ outside of China will do it on the condition that the ML is returned back to AVZ and then onsold. This (almost) makes the jurisdiction risk a non-issue as they will have the backing of the US government. Anyone talking below $1.50 has rocks in their head IMO, if any smart businessperson had the option to buy AVZ with US backing or 2x PLS they would buy the money printing machine every day. That's not even mentioning that PLS isn't in the market to sell and the US wants critical minerals NOW.

The 6.2b USD claim at ICSID equals 9.5b AUD, roughly ~$2.7 AUD per share (not including damages, just the asset price) and you think anyone that is talking over $1.50 is retarded? That's an 80% premium!

All court cases are clear cut so far and the arbitrators won't look to the DRC actions so far with a smile on their face. It isn't like we don't have that much of a leg to stand on.

I don't understand why everyone thinks we still don't hold the cards? Kobolds screaming from the rooftops that they want us to be paid fair value (not an 80% premium) for a deposit that's going to make them rich for multiple decades.

Ka'Pow Shhmachim hard...
"Anyone talking below $1.50 has rocks in their head!"

Gotta love a quick punch to the face, Batman style.....

Simply all 3 (AVZ, DRC & Kobold) need to get in a room and thrash it out, nobody leaves until it is done.

My error re the following point ... too many Bingtangs.

"AVZ/DRC ICSID deferment was for 1 month rather than 1 week."

What I was thinking was rather than have the deferral ending one week after 15-Jun, the date on which the peace discussions became serious, it would have been better to specify a deferral end date of at least 1 month from 15-Jun. However, because AVZ/DRC only specified a deferral end date of 23-Jun, the too short deferral has created a problem. However, I am hopeful that the definitive peace agreement will be achieved on 27-Jun, after which this hiccup with the deferral being too short will be a minor incovenience that will be insignificant.

Regarding the following point, I posted a few weeks ago that FT is probably simply keeping his friends close and keeping his enemies closer.

"DRC appointed the ceo of Cominière as one of their advisors for the negotiations of minerals for security deal."

@zeeb0t are you happy to allow this new member to advertise on your website? I believe this is the 10th different persona to join this week and then spam.

Of course I am not happy about it. That's why I am removing and banning any of these you tag me on

The DRC say they own the rights to Manono . What's stopping them selling Roche Dure to Kobold ? What's stopping Kobold from appropriately compensating AVZ to drop disputes and walk away ? The ball is in Kobold's court . IMO .

There's nothing stopping the DRC trying a lot of the dumb shit they try
I just don't believe anyone will want to pay a bunch conmen billions of dollars for a resource that's ownership rights are very publicly being looked at in international courts.

But who knows, trust no one

@PutUsernameHere, I got mine at the March 2020 major shareholders meeting in Perth.

AVZ signed an MOU with Kobold to walk away for appropriate compensation. That cannot happen without AVZ dropping legal proceedings .
So we can take Kobold off the squeaky clean list right there . The AVZ /DRC saga wasn't a secret . Kobold thought AVZ was dead in the water when they visited Manono Aug/Sep last year . Kobold were not on holiday sight seeing and stumbled onto the ground of Manono . They had an invite .

Not really sure what you're getting at. But yes it's a huge cluster fuck.

Curious what the guy at 2:20 is on about, autotranslate is unreliable.

Not sure if he is just unpacking an article verbatim, or he is giving a local perspective.

Hi Pokok, I am in Sanur, but I will pass on the beer because with the traffic it would be a bit difficult to get to Legian and back, and besides I am busy with family activities each day.

possibly at the request of our own court jester - which is why they refuse to deal with it now?

Nice find @cruiser51 ....great article, everybody should read that

Except there is a zero missing off the 20 year revenue figure. It's not $4bn over 20 years

As part of formal discussions with the Congolese authorities: KOBOLD METALS invited to consult without delay COMINIERE SA, the legitimate holder of the mining titles, and the Mining Cadastre.

KoBold Metals is invited by the competent Congolese authorities to: 1) Suspend all steps, carried out outside the legal framework, relating to the purchase of AVZ's interests; 2) Initiate formal discussions with the competent Congolese authorities, and finally; 3) Consult without delay COMINIÈRE, the legitimate holder of the mining titles, as well as the Mining Cadastre (CAMI).

In its response to the letter, KoBold Metals, which is eyeing AVZ Minerals' commercial interests in the Manono lithium deposit, has fully committed, since May 12, to respecting the laws, regulations and economic sovereignty of the DRC over its soil and subsoil, including the rights to be acquired in the near future.

Imo nobody but china will touch roche dure while there are legal ownership disputes

Which should be of major concern to all.
