Congrats mate and fingers crossed big time.

My first is due this week and had hoped this issue would be long done!!

Hoping for an ICSID and ICC update this week but won't hold my breath
Congrats! Hope all the best for you and your partner.

It's a hell of a ride, with your first. But nothing else comes close to as being as rewarding.

Funny.

The Autonomous Bouganville Government renewed their exploration licence.

This is the same government that put out a travel ban on carrot dick.

Other key points is that the legal issues started from Jan 2018. puts it at 6 years to renewal of their licence.

Our suspension started on 11 May 2022... hopefully it doesn't take us 6 years to fix this shit.

On a side note - i really do hope that this all sorts itself out. My partner and I have been meaning and wanting to buy our home and this would really help with the financing.

We also just got the exciting news that we may potentially have a 2nd kid on the way... and I don't want to continue renting with a second kid !!!

So, C'mon AVZ. lets sort this shit out ASAP.
Congratulations!

Fyi, I see where,

The IGF requests the suspension of the general director of the mining fund

The General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) has requested the suspension of the general director and an administrator of the mining fund for future generations of the Ministry of Mines (FOMIN) of the Democratic Republic of Congo, we learned on Monday 5 February 2024 from administrative source.

I request from your authority (the Minister of Mines), the removal of the current general director of FOMIN and Mr. Léon Mondole Esso-Libanza, administrator who served as chairman of the board of "administration", wrote Jules Alingete, principal inspector of the IGF in a letter addressed to the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N'samba.

According to the source, this measure aims to reduce acts of mismanagement within this structure dependent on the Ministry of Mines.

“Only this safeguard measure seems to me, today, likely to stop the mismanagement that is trying to take up residence within this public establishment,” maintained the Inspector General of Finance.

Beyond this request, the IGF also prohibited any movement of funds out of FOMIN bank accounts.

“It turns out that this ban on the outflow of funds no longer constitutes a sufficiently dissuasive precautionary measure to discourage initiatives and acts of bad governance in which the leaders of FOMIN are determined to shine, so that it becomes imperative, in order not to indefinitely hinder the proper functioning of this public establishment, to consider putting out of harm's way its current facilitators who refuse to be part of the good governance desired by the upper hierarchy", underlined the IGF.

As a result, the IGF noted that these measures, once put in place, will make it possible to consider lifting, as quickly as possible, the measure banning the outflow of funds which has just been implemented by the IGF.

Certainly seems like they are a protected species. I don't buy the argument that Lisette's appointment and that of Célestin were aimed at isolating them as fall-guys to deflect blame away from the establishment should the Cominiere-Manono case spectacularly implode. To me it appears more as though they are simply benefiting from their close connections to the highest levels of the Congolese political elite.

Could well be proven wrong though, so I'll continue to live in hope!

And it could be that shutting down Cominiere would stir things up and result in significant risk to those who have previously supported or benefited from it, or draw undesirable attention to the corruption environment more generally, so its easier to simply keep quiet on it. Or even to continue backing it from a mostly hands-off perspective.

30th edition of Mining Indaba 2024: Prime Minister defends and popularises the vision of the President of the Republic in the mining sector


The leader of the Congolese Government, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde, during his speech on Monday, February 5, 2024, at the official opening ceremony of the 30th edition of Mining Indaba 2024, held in South Africa, chose to defend and popularize, among investors, the vision of the Head of State in the strategic sector of the Mines, in which the entire global energy transition is engaged.

These meetings focus on "Landing boldly leaping away from the positive disruptions to a brighter future of the African mining industry". :unsure:

A theme, which enabled the Prime Minister to inform the assistance that the Democratic Republic of Congo "courageously pursues the establishment and development of the value chain of minerals", with particular emphasis on the local processing of commercial mining products in order to better respond to the problems of the "green economy". :unsure: :ROFLMAO: :rolleyes:

For the Prime Minister, it is undeniable that the export-export model is moving towards a model that allows mineral-producing countries to derive comparative advantages.

This dynamic, according to Sama Lukonde, is likely to boost the green and circular economy on the African continent.

It therefore proposes to potential investors that the DRC should be involved in a strategy for the recovery of mineral substances, including the discharges of the various stages of their treatment and/or processing chain through recycling.

This will, he believes, "lighten the growing demand for critical minerals", which are, moreover, non-renewable resources.

"The Democratic Republic of Congo is open to any partnership that can (in the framework of bilateral or multilateral cooperation) support it in the research, exploitation and transformation at local level of minerals in the energy transition. :unsure: :ROFLMAO: :rolleyes:

We cannot say enough, our country offers itself to all humanity as a 'country solution' to the challenge of global warming and the best destination for investment in the manufacture of batteries and electric vehicles,' he said to the mining operators. :unsure: :sick: :ROFLMAO:


Recalling the data from Blomberg NEF’s study on investment opportunities in the DRC in the mining sector, the Prime Minister noted, for example, that the installation of a plant of 10,000 tons of chemical precursors of Manganese – Nickel – Cobalt batteries costs USD 117 million in the US, USD 112 million in China and USD 65 million in Poland, while it costs only USD 39 million in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Recalling the data from Blomberg NEF’s study on investment opportunities in the DRC in the mining sector, the Prime Minister noted, for example,


* Yet No mention of Lithium or the Monster of Manono, just more Blah Blah Blah Bullshit & Lies from Lukonde :rolleyes:

* Who the Hell in their right mind would want to Invest in the DRC after the way AVZ has been treated :unsure:

* What a Joke :rolleyes:
