I am voting No in Mid March to the JV.

JV SQM and HP are not valuing a few things
AZSLithium Exploration Value of $510m and
AZS Nickel Resource and exploration value of$100m for AZS takeover offer.

pictorially this is shown on the right hand side of figure 1







figure 1 JV SQM HP wants ongoing exploration value $510 m ( $1.11/AZS ) and Andover Nickel Copper complex $100 m ($0.22/AZS) not valued

" Lithium Mineral Resources have not been estimated and feasibility studies have not beenconducted.
For valuation purposes we estimate a Notional Development Scenario (NDS),based on our allowances for a potential Resource, and other parameters from comparableWA projects.
Using the assumptions in our NDS we estimate a 100% Lithium ProjectValue of $6,200m.
Adjusting for AZS’s 60% ownership, we estimate an AttributableLithium Project Value of $3,720m.
We apply our early-stage project discount (55%) todetermine a 1) 12-month forward Lithium Project Value of $1,674m.
To which we add2) Lithium Exploration Value of $510m and
3) Nickel Resource and exploration value of$100m. ***


We apply no premium for any potential downstream margins or takeover activity "

26/10/23 SQM bids $3.52 .. Money of mine guess $3.52 23/10... 445,764,383 AZS shares (11/10/2023). AZS valued at $ 1.57 Billion
19/12/23 JV SQM and HP bids $3.70 on 458,679,575 (30/11/23) AZS valued at $ 1.69 Billion

talk about anchoring around the Bell Potter number for 12 month Forward Lithium project Value of 1.67 m

*** Please note
1) 19/12/23 bid is attempting to anchor price at around $3.68 /AZS
2) Lithium Exploration value ongoing $510m or $1.11/ AZS for the JV is not valued
3) Nickel Resource and Exploration valuie of $100m $0.22/AZS for the JV not valued ( AZS was 22 cents during 22 when Lithium was not considered

Chris Ellison (Min) with 13.6% AZS and average price of AZS of $ 3.63 with yearly shareholder MIN return of 30%/pa will explore minority ownership with an MRE of greater than 240 Mt and around 1.22% Lio2 concentration coming out in qtr 2 24.

I have participated in the $130 m capital raise in August 23.

I would like to get the value of the plan AZS had put before me then on page 3 of the 21/8/2023..Announcement just 4 short months ago.
