"KoBold Metals, a U.S.-based mining exploration company, has announced a deal to buy Australian AVZ Minerals Ltd.’s stake in a contested lithium project in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
So what's the deal FFS !!!! The same article repeated over and over again by, late to the party, lazy f--king journo's .
It is very simple, at this stage negotiations are confidential and only the parties involved know.
Zijin, Cominière and Dathomir would love to know what the deal is and are trying to throw sand in the gearbox.
The only red flags of corruption were the deals these groups made and continue to try to make, but they don't know, so as usual try to create a screen of misinformation ala Chinese m.o. internationally.
CKK can't feel very comfy and is trying to put his ear to the ground, he better be careful that Felix doesn't drive over his head with a big army truck, while he has it on the ground trying to find out when he has to make his run to save his skin.
However if the Manono deal has to be kept under wraps till 23 - 6, the more people get involved, especially the DRC mob it is likely information will leak out.
What and how the deal will be composed, time will tell.
Will it only be Kobold, or a combination of companies?
Nobody knows, however taking in account the size of Kobold and the amount of money involved, it could well be, to spread the risk of capital and get more brain power, a consortium of companies.
Time will tell.
Taking in account the level of trolling on all media platforms, including TSE, one would say the news is not far off.
I think until Felix gets the final Manono deal for sign off, all will be under wraps.
Fuck Zijin.
