AVZ Discussion 2022

[pow4ade]

Yea, in a perfect world, or even a normal world not involving the DRC Government. Also, keep in mind that the Peace agreement is expected to be signed on the week of June 15. June 15 is a Sunday and the US regards Sunday as the first day of the week. So I am interpreting this to mean that the expected date of signing to be within 15-21 June. This leaves things pretty tight to get the AVZ deal finalised in June, especially given the absolute glacial pace of every other step in this process.

I would have thought the most likely outcome is more extensions...much like the 50 extensions of the CATH deal, but very happy to be proven wrong. Time will tell. I am not getting hopes up too early.

Don't forget that AVZ have been in "commercial discussions" with Kobold for some months already and a framework to purchase our interest had been set by May 9 ann. Hence negotiations fairly advanced at that point.

So the May 26 ann that ICSID had been suspended to facilitate negotiations with DRC suggested this is the final phase, enabled by the Kobold/AVZ terms having been agreed upon.

And those terms would also have been informed by prior discussions establishing the DRC and US requirements for the deal to proceed.

Therefore the tight suspension requested indicates AVZ/Kobold are satisfied and confident that the DRC's imprimatur is largely a formality and can be wrapped up within 30 days.

This neatly coincides with the peace deal ceremony in Washington with Trump, Rubo and Bolous, along with loads of African leaders, slapping Felix's back and calling him some sort of genius.

What you say makes logical sense and is backed up by numerous media articles and other sources which speak of the arrangement as if it's a done deal. I have just lost all confidence in the DRC Government to achieve anything at all in any agreed timeframe. For anything involving the DRC Government, unfortunately I have come to expect nothing but delays and incompetence.

Don't underestimate Felix's urgent need of self-preservation, and love of the limelight on the world stage. He has everything incentive to make it happen. As does Trump and Rubio who desperately need a major win right now.
