AVZ Discussion 2022

[JNRB]

Is that 'DRC lost revenue counter' still running?

It would be great to be able to compare "$70 million lost in bribes" directly to "x hundred million" that DRC would have been paid in taxes by now by AVZ.

I am pretty sure it wasn't Manono Lithium, it was Tantalax.

It was Manono Lithium:

Manono: la suspension des activités de Manono Lithium fait débat

Manono Lithium , encore en phase d'exploration du minerais stratégique voit ses activités suspendues jusqu'à nouvel ordre

Will be interested to see what they've done wrong this time around, I'm sure that's not a short list to choose from

Re: Unpaid taxes

The governor of Tanganyika sees Zijin's $US70 million bribe being shared amongst a wide range of corrupt players all the way to King Felix himself, but nothing for the governor.

That's unforgivable and discriminatory. He did the right thing by suspending the operations of Manono Lithium until such time as 'local taxes' are paid.

This story gets better by the day, and heaps better than anything Netflix has to offer.

We need something much more substantial like a stop work order for illegally being onsite. Until then zijin will just shrug, pay the fine and whatevers owed and back to work they go.

Yes, Zijin certainly has form in this regard.

TIA my friends TIA!! only the DRC could remove one potential miner to replace them with another potential miner, to then remove them.

You guys are now confusing the January desist order with yesterdays desist order, which one local journalist, Flore Kayala, translates the key reason for the order being

" The said company is accused of not being in good standing with the Congolese State."

The January Order was the one that mentioned 'unpaid taxes' cough cough, and that was issued by the previous Governor

I was 49% glass full last night. I'm now about 55%, as on contemplating my navel overnight, this could indeed be the first step in a series of 'events' being undertaken once the new Government is sworn in

Yes noncompliance with regulations could cover a multitude of sins! Finger's crossed its something significant without a quick pathway back to operations

Manono will be won on chess moves, which is what this is.
Each move is meaningful to the outcome.
I'd intuitively assume this isn't an isolated and unconnected event existing in a vacuum.
Hopefully I say, watch this space.

Winning at chess with tactical moves only works if everyone is following the same rules.
Unfortunately we are playing a game that goes something like this.

Good to see Kiki has a sense of humour.
