I agree we need a chairman. One of high calibre standings. Preferably one that has experience in Africa and possibly working in the DRC. IMO he doesn't require ASX experience as we are not mining in Australia
A high profile chairman who has worked with one of the majors like BHP, RIO or Vale would be ideal. Has the contacts, the abilities and knowledge to bring this online ASAP.

You don't want a chairman like Ken Brinsden who scuttled Atlas Iron before moving and signing the Ganfeng Lithium deal of a (10year) life time to a floating price mechanism where the company receives a Floating Price In China for their Spodumene. (23min - 25min mark Joe Lowry podcast)

That is a company killer move, to allow the customer to dictate what $$ you get paid and no wonder Ganfeng jumped at the chance! Ultimately just a lousy deal and AVZ DO NOT want somebody like that.

Somebody who can make astute business deals and make $$ for the company and just as importantly its shareholders. CAN transition AVZ from Explorer into a Mining Enterprise of the largest lithium resource on the planet.

There is plenty of finance available out there with easy access to large funds. The job doesn't require him to be a banker but at minimum somebody proficient working a calculator and making good business dealings and decisions.
