Actually I had thought at the presentation in Melbourne and I hope somebody can correct me if I'm wrong that Nigel had said along the lines that it's dangerous in DRC at the moment and had some admiration for the AVZ representatives in country right now. Or words to that effect.
I came away thinking that Nigel wouldn't be going over any time soon.
@Chilla ?
My recollection is that comment referred to the ongoing issues much further north bordering Rwanda and Uganda.

Quite possible, there was a lot to process at the time.

GO AVZ!!!!
I would personally like to hold them to account. If they say so, let it be. Regardless of tax issues.

Note: I think it is an amazing thing to commit to.
Agreed

I like the idea of creating and supporting a charity to help in the general region of Manono

Sure I understand part of that is not entirely altruistic

Some of that is furthering what I see as the mutually beneficial work of AVZ in the region

At the end of the day though, one way or the other, I don't need a tax deduction to make that decision

Almost funny this tit for tat warfare between AVZ and the corrupt/China.
I do wonder how much clout these NGO's actually do have?
Possibly a bit more than one might perceive at face value I think. :unsure:
Reading articles regards the Congo hold-up they seem to have some power over there.

In the battery value chain according to the will of the government #RDC , owning the lithium mine, $AVZ in 2021 signed an agreement with the Chinese of #CATH , world leaders of the battery market. #CATH has already made $500 million available for this project.

The way things are going AVZ might be a big tax deduction for some

Love this.

Minister of Portfolio being told to do her fucking job; Cominier people being told to resign. It’s positive, but I have no idea why these people are allowed to continue in their jobs rather than being dragged out their offices and bundled into police cars…

You know John, for some inexplicable reason I'm feeling really positive at the moment. It might be the antidepressants talking but I've got an inkling that we might get some really good news this week!

No, wait, it's just Amitriptyline kicking in. Resume the doom & gloom. :p

DRC: La Cominière in the sights of 12 NGOs
DRC: La Cominière in the sights of 12 NGOs


A dozen national organizations accuse the public company Cominière SA of blocking the Manono Lithium project. Indeed, to launch the exploitation of this strategic mineral, there is a prerequisite, it is access to electrical energy. However, the discussions around the rehabilitation of the hydroelectric power stations of Mpyana Mwanga seem to skate.
In a press release published on November 20, 12 civil society organizations return to the chronology of the facts which illustrate this blockage. Since colonial times, the territory of Manono has been home to two hydroelectric dams belonging to this day to Cominière SA. These are Mpyana Mwanga I and II located 87 km from the center of Manono. However, these dams require rehabilitation as they were destroyed during the 1997-1998 war. Because the restoration of electrical energy in Manono is an imperative for the exploitation of Lithium by the company AVZ Mineral.

Stalled talks

As a result, AVZ POWER SAU, another Australian company, had in June 2019 expressed its interest in a hydroelectric development project for the Mpiana-Mwanga site. There followed not only several exchanges of correspondence with the Congolese State but also field missions. A technical coordination committee has even been created, one of whose members is the Cominière representative.

Then, on January 13, 2020, the DRC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the company AVZ POWER SAU. This concerned the rehabilitation of the hydroelectric power stations of Mpiana-Mwanga I and II. And in March 2020, AVZ POWER SAU transmitted to the Ministry of Hydraulic Resources the feasibility study of the Mpiana-Mwanga hydroelectric power plant. In addition, the company continued with studies and field visits which culminated in April 2021 with the approval of the feasibility study.
In addition, the file takes another turn during the year 2022. The company Cominiere SA, owner of the Mpyana Mwanga power plants, is launching a call for tenders. According to civil society organizations, this public company claims that the said power stations are abandoned. A Chinese company Zijin would even be selected to carry out rehabilitation work. A situation that creates confusion and blocks the progress of the Lithium mining project, deplore the NGOs. They therefore ask the government to restore order and respect its commitments to AVZ POWER.

Seems the tide is turning with regards to disinformation vs facts.
Pro AVZ articles seem to be flowing thick and fast now.

Here’s hoping for that Merry Christmas…..finally

WA people, extremely off topic post but:

I'm coming over for a holiday/sight seeing/visiting friends at Christmas, flying in Christmas day for around 2 weeks. What would you suggest we do and see while we are over?

Our friends live in Boddington so obviously going to see them and keen to look around Margaret River/South West coast region but we also have to go out to Kalgoorlie/Laverton region. My Mrs is nagging me about what I want to do and see while there so I need suggestions to calm her down and make it look like Ive looked into it and done my own research.

So far on our list of things to do are:

Rottnest Island
Perth Mint
Freemantle
AVZ Offices to view the ML/Pineapple adjustment
John Aspinall's grave - My Great, Great Uncles grave near Laverton (hence the trek to Kalgoorlie/Laverton)
Margaret River/Cape Leeuwin

In no particular order as we haven't booked return flights yet.

Feel free to shoot me a PM so we don't clog the thread up, also if you know of any local, cheap rental car options it would be apprectiated.
