Hey fuckwit, how is this new news?
everyone except you it seems has known this since mid July, when the Kobold guy handed over about 21 files of application for permits to explore, with a brown paper bag lying on top
The photo was published on X and on TSE weeks ago, and you are just catching up?
The only part of the agreement left to be fulfilled was for the DRC to find an envoy to assist with settling 13359 legals, by 31 July. Oops….they can't find anyone who is acceptable to the US?
Sorry all, I’ve just come out of the ‘secret cave’ to get poor old toolate on the right track - again

Appreciate the response mate, cheers.
And agree, I vaguely remember DRC tax being something in the realm of 30%, which is fucken criminal given they’re been on the take the whole way through.
You’d think, or at least hope, that given the extent of corruption and evidence we’d have that any deal would have that tax waived. Or else the 30% to be added to the buyout price.
So…. $12 x 130%
(Note: edited to fix spelling as am overseas and a good few local brews deep. Cheers legends)
the DRC will owe over 100m in fines from ICC and ICSID which need to be taken in to account
I think that the correct maths is US$12 ÷ 0.7 = $17.42
A valiant effort my friend. Unfortunately, even you are fighting a losing battle with this wanker.Hey fuckwit, how is this new news?

A person who joins a forum discussing a particular stock but consistently posts negative comments and interprets positive news as negative likely exhibits a psychological state influenced by several factors. Here’s a breakdown of the potential mental state and underlying motivations, based on psychological principles and behavioral patterns:
1. **Cognitive Bias (Negativity Bias)**:
This individual may be heavily influenced by *negativity bias*, a cognitive tendency to focus on negative information more than positive. They might overweight risks, uncertainties, or minor setbacks while dismissing or downplaying positive developments. This can stem from a general pessimistic outlook or a specific distrust in the stock or market.
2. **Confirmation Bias**:
If they hold a pre-existing bearish view on the stock, they may selectively interpret information to confirm their belief. Positive news is twisted to fit their narrative (e.g., "This good earnings report is just temporary" or "The market will crash anyway"). They seek out or emphasize data that aligns with their negative stance, ignoring contradictory evidence.
3. **Emotional Influences**:
- **Fear or Anxiety**: They might be driven by fear of financial loss, either from past experiences or a general risk-averse mindset. This can lead to hypervigilance for potential downsides, causing them to view even neutral or positive developments through a lens of skepticism or doom.
- **Frustration or Resentment**: If they’ve lost money on the stock or feel misled by hype, their negativity could reflect unresolved anger or a desire to "warn" others, projecting their personal experience onto the broader discussion.
4. **Motivations for Posting**:
- **Trolling or Attention-Seeking**: Some individuals post negative comments to provoke reactions, gain attention, or disrupt the community. The forum provides a stage for them to assert influence or vent frustrations.
- **Short-Seller Agenda**: If they hold a short position in the stock, their negative posts might aim to influence sentiment and drive the stock price down, aligning with their financial interests.
- **Group Dynamics**: They may feel alienated from the forum’s dominant sentiment (e.g., bullish enthusiasm) and adopt a contrarian stance to differentiate themselves or challenge the group’s perceived "groupthink."
5. **Possible Psychological Traits**:
- **Cynicism or Distrust**: A general distrust in institutions, markets, or the stock’s leadership could lead them to assume manipulation or hidden flaws behind positive news.
- **Low Tolerance for Uncertainty**: They might struggle with the inherent unpredictability of markets, defaulting to a negative stance as a way to cope with ambiguity.
- **Perfectionism**: They may hold unrealistic expectations, viewing anything less than flawless performance as a failure, which fuels their negative commentary.
6. **Social and Environmental Factors**:
Their behavior could be influenced by external factors, like exposure to bearish narratives on platforms like X, negative media coverage, or discussions with like-minded peers. If they’re part of an echo chamber that reinforces negative views, their posts may reflect this reinforced mindset.
### Behavioral Patterns in the Forum:
- **Selective Posting**: They focus only on negative aspects, ignoring or reframing positive news (e.g., a strong quarterly report is dismissed as "unsustainable").
- **Hyperbolic Language**: Their posts may use exaggerated terms like "disaster," "scam," or "crash" to amplify their point, reflecting emotional intensity rather than objective analysis.
- **Resistance to Counterarguments**: They may dismiss or argue against positive perspectives without engaging constructively, indicating a fixed mindset.
### Potential Deeper Issues:
In extreme cases, this behavior could hint at underlying psychological issues like chronic pessimism, anxiety disorders, or even a need for control in uncertain situations. However, without more context, it’s more likely a combination of cognitive biases, emotional reactions, and situational factors (e.g., financial stakes or social dynamics).
### Why They Persist:
Their continued participation, despite apparent negativity, suggests they derive some psychological or social reward—whether it’s validation from like-minded users, a sense of superiority from being a contrarian, or an emotional outlet for frustration.

That is an impressive piece of work, you missed going to church.
I just call them wankers, no need to delve further.
If you write this much shit about wankers, you never make it to the secret squirrel group and remain with the likes of your favourite toilet in the playpen.

ENGLISH VERSION Mines_RDC_USA The Lithium of Manono and the Coltan of Rubaya: U.S. Mining Priorities in the DRC By Kiki #Kienge Between ambitions and political realities, as part of its new strategy for securing access to critical metals, the United States is making the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a central piece of its supply policy. Two sites are at the heart of American priorities: the Manono lithium deposit (Tanganyika) and the artisanal coltan mine of Rubaya (North Kivu). Yet these projects still face major obstacles — legal disputes on one side, security instability on the other. An Agreement with the Congolese Mining Cadastre: Toward a Strategic Mapping of Resources In an initiative supported by Donald Trump’s administration, U.S. company KoBold Metals signed a memorandum of understanding with the Congolese Mining Cadastre (CAMI) and the National Geological Service of Congo (SGNC). This partnership aims to digitize the DRC’s geoscientific archives, in a country where less than 20% of the territory has been properly explored, according to Congolese authorities. The objective of this collaboration is clear: identify and secure the most promising deposits of critical metals essential to the global energy transition — lithium, cobalt, coltan, nickel, copper. Within this framework, Manono and Rubaya stand out as the two main priorities for the Americans. Manono: A Lithium Giant Paralyzed by a Dispute with AVZ Minerals The Manono deposit, considered one of the largest hard-rock lithium deposits in the world, remains untapped. Located in the southeast of the country, it is currently at the center of a complex legal dispute between the Australian company AVZ Minerals and Congolese partners, including Cominière, a state-owned enterprise. This dispute prevents any concrete progress on the ground, despite growing interest from international investors and Western governments. For Washington, the stakes are strategic: securing a direct lithium supply, indispensable for manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles. How could Kinshasa unlock this case? By making a political decision in favor of a structured international partnership, or by buying out the disputed shares and reallocating them — but that would require a clear will from the Congolese authorities and an arbitration against already entrenched interests. Rubaya: Coltan Under M23 Control The other American priority, the artisanal coltan mine of Rubaya, in the Masisi territory (North Kivu), is located in an area occupied by M23 rebels, militarily supported by Rwanda according to several UN reports. Despite the site’s wealth, extraction remains artisanal, outside of state oversight, and fuels a parallel economy controlled by armed groups. In this context, U.S. access to Rubaya is currently impossible without the restoration of state authority in the region. However, Kinshasa’s military efforts, first backed by the EAC and then by the SADC, have struggled to bring lasting peace to the area. Kinshasa Facing a Geopolitical Dilemma To meet U.S. expectations, the Congolese government must first resolve two major domestic issues: a legal and commercial dispute in the southeast, and a simmering conflict in the east. This requires international negotiation capacity, high-level political arbitration, and a coherent security strategy. In Manono’s case, this could involve a political or financial agreement with AVZ or its partners, potentially under U.S. pressure or mediation. For Rubaya, stabilizing North Kivu remains a non-negotiable prerequisite. By betting on geological digitization and the reactivation of dormant mining permits, the United States is seeking to entrench itself in the Congolese mining landscape. But between strategic ambitions and realities on the ground, Kinshasa’s government now faces a test of sovereignty and credibility.
