Cannot see these multiple disputes at AVZ all being resolved anytime soon.

This will take a major chunk of potential supply off the market for the first few years of Leo's operation (at least IMO) ensuring higher prices for longer.

Other than the dispute with Cominiere over the 15%, the BOD at AVZ may face issues with failure to disclose to the ASX, but even bigger than that, and potentially years of litigation involved see the last quote below....the original acquisition may have been via corrupt transfers.


This seems to be similar to the PLS and AJM situation of a few years back. Their misfortune is going to be a huge benefit to Leo shareholders.
Those stuck in AVZ, could do well to jump into LLL to make good their losses. AJM holders who did that with PLS back in the day certainly would have gotten back their losses and then made multiple bags on top.

"Another revelation is the finding that AVZ’s original agreement to acquire its 60 per cent stake in the Manono project from Dathomir was in violation of a governing joint venture agreement."
