Shower thoughts, I know comparing stuff is pointless but I was thinking what do you guys value twitter/x at ? a lot dont even use it and its already available on everything, nothing needs to be created for it. The use of it is already at max through ads etc. But Elon went and bought it for 44 billion dollars anyway..and its just code (plus infrastructure etc).
Now the potential from the mine on this resource is massive. The potential for new things are far greater and new creations so to speak. Again, two different things but why would this resource be worth less ?
I know its not practical but was just a thought on potential buyout prices that could be floated.
Too many sooky cunts lately, let's bring back the good vibes.
So many good things to be excited about:
We haven’t been in such a good situation since the Ministerial Decree (lol) in 2022.
FUD shills and salty side-liners are out in the largest force we’ve seen in years – always a bullish signal. They squeal the loudest in the lead-up to good news.
KoBold is so far ahead in their mind that they’re planning taco Tuesdays in the Manono canteen – Bezos and Gates aren’t here to fuck spiders.
Rio, the Saudis, and every other major player is sniffing around – if you're not seeing the value, the big end of town clearly is.
AVZ spanked Cominière in arbitration and is owed over €39 million. If this goes all the way to court, it’s an open-and-shut case in our favour, solidifying our value at 10 billion, setting a floor in negotiations forever.
AVZ’s new deal is getting the nod from Washington, with full backing from the DRC Prez. This isn’t just a mining story anymore – it’s a geopolitical chess piece, and Felix needs the Seppos on side.
Critical minerals are hotter than ever. The US is scrambling for supply, and nothing coming out of Ukraine is going to fill the gap for years. Putin’s still cosplaying as a Bond villain, sending farm boys to die.
Nigel’s playing it cool. He signed a non-binding agreement just to show who’s in the driver’s seat. KoBold might be first to the party, but the signal’s loud and clear to suitors; it’s time to put up or miss out.
Media sentiment is now in our favour. Even the US media has woken up to the fact we hold rights to one of the most strategic patches of dirt on the planet.
Most juniors would’ve folded by now. Nigel and the board? Still here, still swinging, and closer than ever to the win. From what I have been told from others who have spoken with Nigel since we went into suspension, his determination is not to be doubted.
Our camp is circled on the left. The new works on the right has been done just in the last 12 months! And that's not all of it, there is other significant works outside of this shot. It looks like they are excavating the tailings also, as that white spot in the middle of the shot is recently excavated spoil.
Anyone know where tantalex is at with their plant? or whatever they were doing?
I think the writer, like most journalists just has an ivory tower view of the world. Once you get so high up (or worse when you are born high up) you start to lose focus on the levels that exist beneath you and you just see everyone as being "beneath you" and think they are all in the same circumstances, you lose perspective on the nuances of the world.
Any industrialisation of the DRC will MASSIVELY elevate the lives of its citizens, getting paid by a western mining company vs digging with your hands for hours and hours everyday till your fingers bleed or with makeshift or broken tools, is a massive quality of life upgrade.
I do agree with the later parts of the article about legal certainties for private investment and China corruption needing to be fought but that early bleeding-heart gibberish is just back patting for liberal douchebags.
No way this is a one horse race with Kobold the only contender. China know the US is on the ropes. Why would they settle for only the trash part of the worlds best and biggest Li deposit (if they can manage to hold on to it)? They don't want a piece, they want the whole thing.
If they want to be the mineral kings they need this as the jewel in their crown.
