ASIC accuses fallen miner AVZ Minerals of misleading investors

Australia’s corporate watchdog has accused suspended mining explorer AVZ Minerals and two directors of failing to disclose critical market information after they delayed telling investors about a threat to its flagship African lithium project.

The West Australian company’s delisting last year left AVZ investors nursing losses of $2.8 billion – one of the biggest wealth wipeouts in ASX history – following a fight over ownership of a massive hard rock lithium deposit in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
