Attached is the joint statement from Kobold/AVZ originally released on Linkedin by Kobold

The over US $ 1 B is for the CAPEX not for the purchase of AVZ commercial interest in Manono
That idiot journalist K Warner from Metal Tech News must be Tommy the turds cousin
Just for you Lenny. THE OVER US$ 1 BILLION IS FOR CAPEX
The original Manono DFS was for 4,5 B T and capex around US $650 million . As was reported AVZ were working on revised 10 BT DFS and i think that is where Kobold will likely look at as a starting point hence the over US$ 1 B capex
Do the sums on that and come up with a valuation of the project
PS The " over US$ 1 Billion is for C A P E X ...just in case you didnt get it the first time
