Absolutely!

AVZ's deposit is incomparable:

-at and near surface

-homogenous-meaning minimal internal dilution which translates to the lowest strip ratio and thus less ore feed to produce lithium product(efficient & cheap mining and readily expandable(10 Mtpa to 40 Mtpa)

-consistent high grade which makes it easier to convert

-lowest impurities meaning easy and cheap to convert

High-level independent metallurgical test verification of Manono'slower iron, fluorine and phosphorous levels - and projected significantly lower open pit stripping rates - underline the incredible latent value in the DRC project.

"We think this project is completely different to every other project out there because it is so large - we're not talking about 10m-wide zones, it's 200m,"says Ferguson.

"But it's not just about being the biggest in the pack, it's very much about that scale translating into value, which comes back to quality.

"It's the nature of the beast at Manono, with such a big, wide [pegmatite] body; it's cooled slowly, so we've got large crystals and a cleaner pegmatite.We've literally got, one side to the other, a single zone, and the wall rocks are black,

and the pegmatite is white … so we can just strip it down either side and not worry too much about dilution. It's pretty much 1.65% all the way through!

"SCT, which has designed about 85% of all the hydroxide plants in the world, have said they've never seen such a clean product- just really high grade and no detrimentals of any issue whatsoever. We have low fluorine, very low phosphorous, the iron is down to 0.4% in the product … and we'll probably get that down further with more tweaking. There is 2-4% mica in the body itself, but once it's processed it's down to … less than 1.5% mica, and we'll get that down further too."

AVZ has unbelievable width and depth with most intercepts being close to 300 metres and high grade. Comparably CXO's deposit is a postage stamp and if AVZ posted CXO's results today they would have to look twice to see if there was a mistake!


Just one of AVZ's deposits-Roche Dure:



Now compare this to CXO results today; in fact there is NO comparison.





AVZ has the largest lithium deposit globally of 400 [email protected]% Li2O with only 10% of pegmatites drilled , and an exploration target of 1.5 billion tonnes that Managing Director Nigel Ferguson thinks can be achieved easily!






There is a reason AVZ has been called the Saudi Arabia of Lithium, and the penny is dropping just what affect such a deposit can have on the lithium space. One day AVZ could potentially control lithium pricing and supply being in the lowest cost quartile and having the largest resource with humungous output and therefore value: planning 10 Mtpa and having the readily expandable resource to go to a 40 Mtpa output. The mind truly boggles! AVZ also has the world's largest tin resource!

***With the burgeoning structural lithium deficit due to demand and the fact that when lithium prices were low there was little lithium exploration and development the electric vehicle/energy storage revolution cannot exist without AVZ's monster deposit!
