These guys seem to be a 1-man band.

There are no employees named. No phone number, apart from a WhatsApp link. 4 followers on Twitter. No. Make that 5. Seems an AEV hopeful just increased ECR following by 25%!

They've done a report on a TSX/V Phosphate Rock company,

Look at the ABN:

Same ABN as these guys. Variation of company name above:

1 employee. The "reviews" seem bogus; all from accounts which have made 1 or 2 reviews.

In the credibility stakes, I do not think AEV associating with these guys would do anything positive. Some of the companies they've done reports for are absolute dogs.

All imo
