myshares Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Twitter would suggest it belongs to the same Troll who reported them on the two previous occasions... It really does seem to be fake news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksheep Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Are you referring to swami2 being the troll? I know swami2 from TS - he's no troll, IMHO. He's someone who digs deeper than most people. The twitter AVZ cheerleaders would like everyone to believe the article is his work Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. It really doesn't matter who penned the piece - is there any truth to the allegations, that is the question. I think Super Ninja needs to take credit for AVZ's past two TH/please explains - no one asked him to disclose information that the company had not made available to the market. Companies with good projects don't need the kind of social media "promotion" we are seeing of late by so called company advisers - they let the project speak for itself. I personally steer clear of any company engaging - a big red flag IMHO. Swami2@stockswami Follow Follow @stockswami More I see that there is some conspiratist theory that I am the author or somehow connected to Echidna Equities. I would be only to happy to claim credit for it, if it was true. But don't worry about the messenger, all you $AVZ sh's.. Worry about the message https://twitter.com/stockswami/status/987231341606350849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myshares Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Agree with the social media promotion... but less sure about the morals of Swami et al... When investing - best to trust no one... everyone has an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSB Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Might the author of this piece run into a few legal issues? Glaucus submitted their BLA research to ASIC prior to release, and followed their recommendation that the report be restricted from distribution in Australia due to AFSL "uncertainties" (however easily that safeguard was bypassed). While I'm not suggesting the content of the piece should be discredited, it seems to me the process sophistication/execution is lacking (a newly created blog with no discernible financial licencing?) I'm not sure where they suppose getting borrow from either ("we would look at going short"); there's almost no physical borrow that I can find, nor any CFD DMA providers that I came across a while back. May have changed recently with the ETF addition in March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksheep Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Could do, but I'm no legal expert. Not sure if his/her disclosure helps their cause? Note they are neither long/short thereby no profiting from this "opinion" piece - unlike activist shorters such as Glaucus (QIN/BLA) and Victroy (SYR/QIN) who admitted they were shor the stock which was the target of their "opinion" piecet, gave low SP targets and stood to make substantial gain if those targets were reached. From Echidna's twitter a/c they appear to have asked ASIC to look into the concerns outlined in their opinion piece. I recall when SYR referred Viceroy to ASIC they said ...... "The responses we received suggested unless we can prove beyond doubt that somebody has made a totally false statement with intent to damage the company, and prove who that person was, then there is very little we can do," he said. Read more: http://www.afr.com/business/mining/syrah-a...5#ixzz5DORSDggu I assume QIN/BLA were likewise advised, since no legal action was/has been taken against the authors of those pieces. Time will tell what happens with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSB Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 ASX has suspended trading AVZ pending response to a an ASX query. Of note is that the the suspension does not appear to be at the request of the company. https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20180423/pdf/...dr75bzfn1dy.pdf Could be in relation to the Echidna Equities note?

The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target as stated above, is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. 4.

The Company confirmsthat an announcement has been released to the market, dated 23 April 2018, which addresses the above points. The clarification mentioned in the above 23 April 2018 Clarification of Australian Financial Review article On 23 April 2018, the Australian Financial Review printed an article (AFR Article) on AVZ Minerals Limited (ASX: AVZ) which included some statements in relation to the exploration target of the Manono Project located in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The AFR Article stated that AVZ will ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Â¦ÃƒƒÂ¢Ãƒ¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…âہ“focus on the Roche Dure pegmatite and hopes to drill out somewhere between 300-400 million tonnes, and then work on infill drilling approximately 150-200 million tonnes of measured resources.ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚ The Company would like to retract this statement in reference to the 150-200 million tonnes of measured resources as this statement is not in compliance with the JORC Code. The AFR Article also stated that the Manono Project has a ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Â¦ÃƒƒÂ¢Ãƒ¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…âہ“potential total resource of between 1.25 to 1.5 billion tonnes and an average grading around 1.5 per cent lithium oxide.ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚ This was intended to refer to our exploration target of 1Bt to 1.2Bt of 1.25% to 1.5% Li2O. The Company would like to retract this statement and the reference to a total resource of the Manono Project. AVZ advises that investors should not rely on the above statements included in the AFR Article as a basis for any investment decision about AVZ shares. The Company would like to advise investors that it has previously made announcements to the market in relation to an exploration target for the Manono Project on 12 September 2017 and, more recently, in its Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 March 2018 dated 13 April 2018. In these announcements the Company has stated that the exploration target for the Manono Project is between 1Bt to 1.2Bt of 1.25% to 1.5% Li2O, including between 300Mt and 400Mt of 1.25% to 1.5% Li2O for the Roche Dure pegmatite alone.

blacksheep Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Down another 9.52% today. Where's Super Ninja when AVZ needs him? He's gone very quiet lately - not a tweet out of him since April 11 - and the stock's SP has suffered accordingly. The AVZ faithful seem to need a daily dose of Ninja cheer leading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
