Why no action?
As I understand it Teck took out the third largest shareholder at about $0.105 per share.-
They increased their holdings from 19% to just over 30%. The joint venture (Teck 50% with MMI and AQM (50%%)has more than enough money to complete the PFS, thanks to Mitsubishi and Teck.
AQM goes along for the ride. If the PFS is positive (and I cannnot see any reason for the outcome to be anything worse than a repeat of the PEA).
Normally a PFS will recomend more information on resources (to confirm Reserves as opposed to resources.
If the project moves either to a FS or production there will be an opportuity for AQM to participate in financing Zafranal based on their 30% of the project of face dilution if they fail to come up with the money.
With Teck in a strong position in AQM they can support AQM's fundraising when the time comes through any number of alternate financing schemes. If Teck participated i any underwriting or provides loan guarantees-AQM could have a full 30% of Zafranal., with Teck having 50% directly and another 10% for their share of AQM.
I think being patient is probably the best thing to do at this point.

I am not sure, Why would Teck provide AQM with loans for financing AQM's 30% share of Zafranal? It would be better for Teck to buy the whole company instead. If the share price will not react, I believe this is what Teck will do. It has been a while since the share price is so depressed.

You may be right, but I have no idea about AQM's share structure. Anyway, we will have to wait until the release of the PFS, but if the share price continue to get so depressed, shareholders will get bored. And there will be a hostile takeover at a bargain price, no doubt about it.

so depressed that when Teck or decide to take it over , they will pick it up at a bargain price.
That's unfortunate I must say.
