"I believe what's happening here is NF is trying to buy a larger piece of the pie.
After speaking with him he wants at least a 70% ownership of AVZ if not higher."
Don't you mean 70% ownership of the Manono Project rather than of AVZ itself ?
I think they can only increase their ownership of the Manono Project by acquiring either some of the 30% Cominiere holds or some of the 10% Dathomir holds.
