Lots of great info coming through lately.
Feels like the mood has changed here significantly more optimistic overall. Even if no one has clear understanding of where we are.
I stated previously I thought that the cost of doing business in the DRC was a minority ownership by zinjin. If you use AVZ as an example it looks like when a significant deposit was discovered, zinjin would just come in last minute with the brown paper and comi would accept.
Standard practice and way of doing business for way to long.
Just trying to join a few dots here.
It's been previously stated over a year ago that Felix was revisting all mining agreements and now we are hearing news of the DRC wanting a further 1.3 billion from China for these agreements.
The USA
is now using the United nations charter to fight corruption in the DRC. They would not be able to do this without an invite from the DRC. in my opinion that is.
I still believe that it was AVZ that did not want to progress to production with zinjin as a minority partner.
Zinjin called avz to the icc, to which AVZ gladly accepted.
I do hope that the AVZ /Zinjin case is being used as an example of how the business climate is changing and that the drc is making moves to stamp out corruption of this type.
Comi are the corrupt fuckers that have been selling off DRC assets for snacks as a way of life.
Quick thoughts while I have a 5 minute break.
