AVZ Discussion 2022

[Mute22]

IIRC previous articles didn't mention RIO already having meetings with DRC gov? So that's new info that hints at how progressed things could be behind the scenes

Mentioned here:

Rio Tinto Talks With Congo Over Developing Prize Lithium Deposit

Rio Tinto Group has held talks with the Democratic Republic of Congo about developing one of the world’s biggest hard rock lithium deposits, in the latest sign of the miner’s enthusiasm for the battery metal.

Truce, working towards a ceasefire. This partly due to American influence? Can we expect further progress re:AVZ?

How's life on the wagon Mr Nut?

Asking for a friend.

I feel like shit and I'm bored out of my fucking mind....

Other than that it's fucking great!

I wonder how long they'll last in the hands of the poor underpaid and under-resourced DRC army.

I can see them either flying upside down through the grand ballroom windows into the presidential ensuite, or sold on the streets of Goma in broad daylight to M23. Given that this is the DRC, the latter is more likely.

No in all seriousness it's pretty cool

I'd never imagined just how far I could get without a personality

I did lapse for my (and the wife's) birthday a little over a week or so ago

Started with a glass of Pol Roger (my absolute recommendation for a starting point anytime you choose to fall off a wagon)

Then onto Italian whites and reds over dinner

Next morning completely rediscovered what it's like to have an actual hangover

They truly are fucking terrible things when you're no longer twenty something!

There..... transmission complete

No rant thank you Mr Ptlas

To be honest, kinda sad to see them buying china drones instead of USA drones

They're obviously working both sides of the street.

What the actual fuck is this???

I mean fuck me

Pretty hard to advance a fucking project when they don't grant the fucking licence after completing all pre-requisites which no-one fucking else had done

Makes my blood boil reading shit like that

Rant over

Normal transmissions will resume......imminently

We did it in record time. Fastest DFS in DRC history. The cancellation decree does refer to the disputes between Dathcom shareholders stalling the project so either the writer or the AI they used just misunderstood this comment imo

I stole this off Rattlerock over on the HotShitter in response to some scumbag lowlife.

"You say First Quantum wasn’t paid, that’s false. The $1.25 billion was a settlement negotiated between ENRC, the company that took over the mine, and First Quantum, not a judgment against the DRC. The deal was finalized in March 2012, and the payment was made in full. As a result of this settlement, First Quantum dropped its arbitration case against the DRC."

So DRC does have history when it comes to a 3rd party getting them out of the sh1t re arbitration . Replace ENRC with RIO/Kobold . Replace $1.25billion with $4 billion USD .

Claim was $12b USD

Getting 10.4% of what it was worth wasn’t a victory imo

Ok I see First Quantum sued both Eurasian Natural Resourse Corporation ( ENRC) and the DRC . DRC took the project off First Quantum and gave it to ENRC .

"City analysts said ENRC's action had alienated shareholders and several big investors, including Standard Life, sold their holdings in protest."

"The agreement was struck on the basis that First Quantum drops all legal claims against the DRC and ENRC; the DRC has also pledged to terminate its claims against First Quantum."

Would RIO or Kobold do the same ? Shaft AVZ to get into bed with DRC Corruption and together with the DRC be sued at the ICSID by AVZ . A case they know they will lose . Now before ENRC did the dirty together with the DRC on First Quantum , did ENRC state First Quantum needs to be Appropriately Compensated ? I'm guessing not . The ICSID can still set the price if an agreement can't be reached with AVZ.

"The agreement was struck on the basis that First Quantum drops all legal claims against the DRC and ENRC."

They might be filthy grubby Corrupt C--ts, but they don't like those legal claims against them it would seem .

Whoever announcing sweeping aid cuts for a "review of transparency and efficiency" from my point of view will not sell any other items into this area before the expected deal (minerals for safety/peace) will be finalized. Therefore and because of clock is ticking my guess is that "the story" written by Felix starts also with signals to others and in this regard it is plausible to show M23 what Felix is willing to do besides we'll see whether or not FADRC is able or needed to let them fly just one time in the future. (BTW - what dies first in a war?)

[pow4ade]

Fascinating revelations by Trump ally Erik Prince on the conflict in the east. Says Rwanda 'invaded' a sovereign country with mechanised brigrades and infantry supported by tanks and armed Turkish drones, likening it to Putins annexation of Crimea. Provides some insight on Washington's take on the overall African situation and the need to counter Russian and Chinese expansion.

This is a good point that you made, and one that I had not considered before.
