JCM v AVZ (15% issue) is heard by the mysterious cruiseship delaying arbitaror - we submitted an emergency request to throw the case out completely with deadline for submissions today and expected decisions next week.
Emergency injunction is AVZ v Cominiere, which has a lady arbitrator if i am not mistaken, after the injunction was awarded on May 5, Zijin has lent their legal team to Cominiere (ie Fasken), who is now arguing on behalf of Cominiere to not increase the daily penalty and even remove the injunction all together.
(also fasken reps Zj and Cominiere in the joint case).
I go back to my single domino falling theory - and yes their latest announcement gave us grounds to expedite instead of waiting to Feb 2024.This is such a head fuck, what's the trickle down effect on the rest of the arbitrations if the initial hearing gets thrown out?
Puts a pretty big whole on Zijin's claim for any part of 13359. Have they fucked up badly with this latest market release![]()

If Zijin case is over then they are gone from Dathcom foreverI go back to my single domino falling theory - and yes their latest announcement gave us grounds to expedite instead of waiting to Feb 2024.
An emergency request to have it thrown out renders a verdict almost instantly (in the legal world). So could be the first piece to move, afterwhich, combined case from ZJ and Cominiere is also withdrawn, and as the sale of 15% is no longer in question, we withdraw one of the cases against Cominiere for the sale.
We would maintain Dathomir cases and the Emergency injunction against Cominiere - but i surmise that if the first domino falls, we will just seek enforcement of the new injunction amount, and then just hold the Dathomir case. (if we get an increase for injunction penalty, it will likely give us more leverage to negotiate too) but this all heresay your honour.
Nut, I hope @Carlos Danger has answered your questions around disclosure to your satisfaction, but if not
I worked out last year when we went into suspension why our BOD didn’t disclose all the issues they were dealing with behind the scenes (and as we know the issues in question went into the year before that)
Are we expecting the Chinese /DRC to abide by any of these ICC verdicts ?I go back to my single domino falling theory - and yes their latest announcement gave us grounds to expedite instead of waiting to Feb 2024.

You always articulate it better than I do Carlos lol.If Zijin case is over then they are gone from Dathcom forever
Focus then becomes our claim against Cominiere for the purported termination of the Dathcom JVA and subsequent partition of the tenement. Pre-emption breach claim against Cominiere is gone as the sale didn't happen and they still hold 25% of Dathcom that we have FROR of 15% on.
Zijin and Cominiere's other combined case claiming damages goes away on lack of grounds as Zijin is not, and was never, a party of Dathcom
The last emergency injunction against Cominiere had no effect . In fact it had the opposite effect . This injunction will probably see Zijin start work on the North while they are having BBQs at the AVZ camp site.You always articulate it better than I do Carlos lol.
That is precisely it. Just one thing - i think there are two cases for termination of JVA. One is the root cause, becasue Dathomir is the one who went to local DRC court to terminate JV.
So the emergency injunction against Cominiere is to stop them from acting on the assumption of termination; BECAUSE the ICC case against Dathomir is still underway.
We also have another case against dathomir which is basically a big fat fuck-off to Cong's seller's remorse.
ICSID is against DRC who, following Cominiere's request and bullshit reasons, canceled the ministerial decrees which provided the opening for JVA and JV to be terminated.
See how its all a web of lies and deciet and snackfuckery.
Fucking Zijin would want to considering they were the ones to initiate arbitration proceedings to begin with.Are we expecting the Chinese /DRC to abide by any of this ICC verdicts ?
Are we expecting the Chinese /DRC to abide by any of these ICC verdicts ?
So this is where it gets a little tricky - ICC's power over DRC land transfer and ownership rights is 50/50 from what i can tell. But that is up to the arbitrator, if they do not believe the DRC will follow through, then they pretty weak from what i can tell, but ICC and ICSID for that matter will generally rule for monetary damages as remedy.Are we expecting the Chinese /DRC to abide by any of these ICC verdicts ?
this relates to my enforcement showerthought. They aren;t losses unless you sell type of deal, until we request to enforce the emergency injunction.The last emergency injunction against Cominiere had no effect . In fact it had the opposite effect . This injunction will probably see Zijin start work on the North while they are having BBQ on AVZ camp site.
Dathomir termination attempt was September 4th this year. Way after Cominiere emergency order. Emergency order was all about Cominiere staying within DRC legal system rather than complying with Article 11.1 of Dathcom JVA and going to ICC.You always articulate it better than I do Carlos lol.

The ones which Cominiere and Zijin said haven't been built and using as talking points to say no progress has been made? But their own people are living large in the camp?![]()
Whats this about them using the AVZ camp? I must have missed out on that.

This is some fucked up ruling about Mining rights are greater than all other property/land ownership. But i digress, the real point is the one i made above - fucking snakefuckers.
Hmm you're right JV termination issued by Dathomir is after emergency injunction. There is a piece missing inbetween, its the termination of JVA by Cominiere in local DRC which triggered the injunction.Dathomir termination attempt was September 4th this year. Way after Cominiere emergency order. Emergency order was all about Cominiere staying within DRC legal system rather than complying with Article 11.1 of Dathcom JVA and going to ICC.
