Great news indeed.
Explains how US will enable Rwanda to benefit from the peace accord.
Also IMO the final pre requisite for the Kobold /AVZ MOU to move to a binding contract.
Peace accord needs to be signed allowing Kobold the security and assurance to invest its billions in the DRC.
Waiting for the ink to dry is not about price IMO as Nigel would not have agreed to sign the MOU but rather 100% assurance of the peace accord between DRC and Rwanda being signed..
This agreement was referred even in the last item in our MOU.
Ask yourself why it was included.?
Few weeks to go and we all should know further details on take over and Felix re issuing the ML.
I think the peace deal between DRC-Rwanda is one dimension but as shown by Guinea shenanigans, the security of minerals is the other... DRC need to be willing to enshrine a second parallel public administration incorruptible and responsible for western companies, so that those seeking brown paper bags can't shake down western mining companies, (US have the might to beat them back just need the jurisdiction to).

But thats why this is such a Godsend of a geopolitical shift... Tshisekedi needs the US to keep power because of the issues in the east, so he has to make A LOT of concessions, if later on he changes his mind or tries to shortchange the US, they have a long history of influencing regime change whenever it suits their agenda. Its like the perfect storm of factors for this to come together.

Allowing the DRC Gov Ministers/Officials to maintain their very high levels of Corruption against anyone except the USA is cleaver and clearly a win win .And they can still give away assets to the Chinese for personal gain which keeps the Chinese happy as well . win win win .

Since the April signing, progress has moved swiftly and deliberately. On May 2, both Rwanda and the DRC submitted separate proposals on the draft agreement to the United States. Secretary Rubio’s team now holds the responsibility of arbitrating and merging these documents into a single comprehensive draft.
The peace process follows a structured timeline:
First Phase (until May 15): The U.S. team prepares a unified draft based on the proposals from Kigali and Kinshasa.
Second Phase (week of May 15): Technical experts from both countries will meet in the U.S. to amend and refine the draft.
Third Phase (around May 21): Foreign Ministers Nduhungirehe and Wagner will reconvene in Washington to validate the final version of the agreement.
Final Phase (week of June 15): Presidents Kagame and Tshisekedi are expected to formally sign the peace agreement in Washington. The signing will be attended by:
U.S. President Donald Trump
Kenyan President William Ruto, representing the East African Community (EAC)
Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, representing the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé, representing the African Union (AU)

One would think that the final signing of the peace agreement could trigger a few more acquisition offers for AVZ.
Hopefully, for KoBold’s sake, they made a good offer, since our agreement with them isn’t binding and we could theoretically go with a better one. A bidding war would be a fitting happy ending to this thriller of a stock.
Yeah wish i knew mate but i have a feeling we will find out by way of one of our posters who monitor the ICSID website.
AVZ have commited to propose the temporary suspension of ICSID. So this is one of the tools that Massad Boulos will use in his negotiations.
AVZ is acting in good faith to facilitate the peace process deal but as Spike so eloquently put it this morning
Legs Eleven, till we bumfeg this replevin.
In other words in 11 days we gunna smash you with the ICSID
