'new to avz, just wondering where avz is in relation to this time line:'
Hmmm knowing full well the answer to a baited question IMO (assuming you can understand dates?), perhaps a more appropriate question that you could have asked might be something like;
Which former advisor recommended that the above targeted pathway be implemented and which former Executive Chairman approved it, and were these timelines (without a DFS !!!) reasonable to begin with? And if not, what was the purpose of these timelines (unrealistic IMO) and who would have been set to benefit from a sale at the right price back in 2017 / early 2018 i.e. before the Lithium market tanked and crushed the dreams of the impatient?
As NF has often reasoned, "it takes time to build a world-class mine" and IMO there are no real short cuts to this philosophy, unless your aim is to dress it up & flog it off to the highest bidder in a hyped-up market i.e. before the music stops and the cracks start appearing (due to lack of proper development work).
But in any case, the past is in the past and IMO the most important thing now is that AVZ have a talented enough Executive team and an exceptional DFS to reflect all the hard work that has been put into the Manono project since 2017. Therefore, the time is right IMO for those last five points to be ticked off without exceptions (or excuses) by 2022 - what will likely be the industry sweet spot (IMO) for Tier 1 production to commence in order to help fulfill the exponential demand forecasted for this decade (the Roaring Twenties all over again?
) and possibly beyond.
In the meantime, another superb announcement today.
Well done to Nigel and the team.
Patience and proper due diligence rules the day IMHO.
