Ann: Resignation of Non-Executive Director, page-34

My initial comment was neither negative or positive. Just interested on the outside looking in on this one to see how it plays out. My point was resource alone means nothing and there is a reason business is harder in Africa.

Why else would you choose to pay a lazy Aussie $50 + p/h in the Pilbara when you could get a worker in the Congo for 50cents an hour. Because it is easier said than done over there.

Bit of a shame the voluntary suspension, I think the SP would have been belted over this, and the suspension has taken away a potential good buy if the SP went low enough. AVZ will be very successful if/when it gets down to the business of mining.
