The battle for control of the world’s richest lithium deposit has escalated into a potential $4.6 billion market wipeout, legal disputes, and ferocious feuding.

Where's Manolo?

Looks like Tommy's spell checking is somehow worse than his fact checking

Speaking of fact checks here's a free lesson in journalism. The time between the issuing of the new ministerial decrees and the announcement is the exact same as it was for the initial decrees being announced.

We're coming for you fucker:

"The AFR’s two articles of 8 February 2023 appear to be based, in part, on legal advice and a report or draft report prepared for the Company’s lawyers (together, source materials). The source materials are
and always have been strictly confidential and legally privileged. It is not clear how the source materials came into the AFR’s hands.

The Company did not provide, nor did it authorise the provision of, the source materials or any of their content to the AFR (or to anyone outside of the Company or its advisors).

The Company is seeking further advice on the matter and is in the process of engaging cyber security experts to investigate and advise the Company."

Sticking hard to the rule book and our narrative. Hold the line AVZ. The payoff will be magnificent. It does seem like the intention of the company was to deal with the delicate and complex issues of the ministerial decree quietly with an intention of informing shareholders of the outcome when it was sorted. Frankly I wish they had not had their hand forced. I lost my mind over the last few days. LOST IT!!

Translation of all four of Kiki’s tweets below. Hint: use ChatGPT for better translations.

1/4 Genesis of DATHCOM 2016-2023.

1. DATHOMIR 70% and 30% for COMINIERE .
2. DATHOMIR sells 60% to $AVZ .
3. DATHOMIR receives 5% (75%) from COMINIERE for the "construction" of the Manono-Pweto road: AVZ 60%, COMINIERE 25%, DATHOMIR 15%."

2/4 4. DATHOMIR sells its 15% to AVZ, COMINIERE sells its 15% to #ZIJIN and COMINIERE gives 5% to MMCS : AVZ 75%, ZIJIN 15%, #MMCS 5% and COMINIERE 5%.

• DATHCOM was created before the arrival of AVZ, due to DATHOMIR's inability to raise funds for the research."

3/4 60% were sold to AVZ by DATHOMIR.

• It should be noted that the Australian company #AVZ never directly bought the shares of the Congolese State (COMINIERE).
• The leaders of COMINIERE in DATHOMIR, ZIJIN and MMCS are the ones who sold off the shares of the Congolese State.

4/4

• The COMINIERE should recover 15% from ZIJIN and 5% from MMCS, which were considered a hold-up by the IGF. Kiki #Kienge.

I can reassure you the company was not aware of the decrees when MoM signed them on the 28/01/2023. I left a message on the 01/02/2023 for Ben Cohen and he subsequently called me back on the same afternoon. He sounded upbeat, I think the company was really caught off guard.

Yep, sounds like they were being told one story by their 'Consultants' in country and didn't have their hand firmly on the wheel.

These guys now have double the work to do to save face.

An interesting 10 week podcast re USA-African bi-lateral issues starting on Wednesday 15 February.

Carol Pineau, award-winning filmmaker and journalist to host 10-week series on Bi-Lateral Issues​

Feb 07, 2023

WASHINGTON D.C., United States of America, February 7, 2023/APO Group/ --
Africa-USA Now (https://AfricaUSANow.com), a new weekly video podcast spotlights current events at the intersection of Africa and the United States. The 10-week series launches at a pivotal time following the historic US-Africa Summit and the renewed commitment to partnership between Africa and the US.

The current events talk show features African and American policymakers and experts examining issues around burgeoning trade and investment opportunities. The program is presented by the World Trade Center, Washington, DC (WTCDC) (https://bit.ly/3RHjmto), and is launched in partnership with the African Development Bank (https://www.AfDB.org), Africa Investment Forum (www.AfricaInvestmentForum.com) and AfricaGlobal Schaffer (https://www.AfricaGlobal.com).

"This is an important program that will address roadblocks to engagement, highlight significant trade and investment opportunities, and hopefully change the narrative on Africa and the dynamic changes taking place on the continent,” said Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank Group, which is sponsoring the program.

“This is a must-watch series for international trade professionals and industry experts,” says Allyson McKithen, Executive Director of the World Trade Center in Washington, DC, which will distribute the program to the 320 World Trade Centers around the world, reaching over 715,000 businesses worldwide. “We are proud to be a partner on this initiative, particularly as the World Trade Center Association looks towards our annual meeting this spring that will be held in Ghana, themed “Towards African Economic Integration and Enhanced Global Presence.”

The show covers an evolving continent that is clearly on the move, from the new African Continental Free Trade Agreement to increased investment from China and other major economic powers, infrastructure enabling free movement of goods and people, tech hubs leapfrogging forward, and a strong COVID response that has made Africans feel increasingly empowered. However, it also notes that despite the opportunities, the United States – the largest economy in the world – lags behind in investment and often overlooks Africa.

“This show fills a missing gap,” says Carol Pineau (https://bit.ly/3ldpfCf), host and producer of the program. “Every day, events happen in Washington and the US that deeply affect Africa, but the media is often not connecting these actions to Africa. At the same time, Africa is rapidly evolving, and it’s in our strategic interest to understand these changes, especially with so much global competition out there,” adds Pineau.

Pineau is an award-winning filmmaker and journalist specializing in Africa for over 20 years. Her first documentary, Africa Open for Business, won the BBC Documentary of the Year and was part of changing the narrative on Africa in Western media. Her other films include Africa Investment Horizons, which launched at the New York Stock Exchange and was broadcasted throughout the world. Pineau has reported internationally and in the US for major media, including a posting in Africa with VOA and another with CNN.

Africa-USA Now launches Wednesday, February 15, 2023. Each episode of the inaugural 10-week season will focus on a singular topic and will feature a roundtable discussion with African and American government officials, investors, business leaders, journalists, academics, and other policy shapers.

“The U.S. needs to put more focus on engaging with Africa because it is in our interest to do so. We need to reset in addressing current realities so that we don’t end up locked out of critical resources, and growing opportunities and partnerships,” says Mima Nedelcovych, Chairman of AfricaGlobal Schaffer, a production partner of the program, who has invested throughout Africa for more than 40 years and sits on the African Advisory Committee of the U.S. Export-Import Bank.

Africa-USA Now (https://bit.ly/40yiIlT) is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts and www.AfricaUSAnow.com. Viewers can subscribe, follow and comment on the show across all platforms.

Well, Tom Richardson, footprints in the sand. Three articles in five days! At best it’s a personal vendetta. At worst, it’s something far more sinister.

How did you like this bit of the announcement Tommy Turd ?

"The Company confirms it intends to continue its voluntary suspension until such time that it has a resolution and clarity on its mining and exploration rights for the Manono Project."

Does that mean they have confirmation from the ASX they can remain suspended until ML or bust?

Would appear so .

 

[Mute22]

Would appear so .

I don't think that's necessarily true -

"intends to continue its voluntary suspension"

Their intent could be to remain in suspension, this could always be rejected by the ASX no?

Had to chuckle. You asked the question and argued with the answer lol.
Do you know my wife?

' until such time that it has a resolution and clarity on its mining and exploration rights for the Manono Project.'

Has that changed ?MoM hasn't decided who gets what . At this point she has joined the South and North back together . We await her decision on how it gets carved

Haha - I just gave the statement more thought. Drinking a little more each Friday this rubbish continues.....

I hope we do remain suspended until ML is granted. But just because AVZ intends to remain suspended doesn't mean the ASX will allow it.

@wombat74 - I suppose you are right, it's a step backward but hopefully because the slate needed to be clean to get this sorted.

The only thing playing on my mind about this situation is that if that was the DRC intent it wouldn't have been a surprise to management. For god's sake - Nigel was telling shareholders he was expecting the ML in November!

Guys I just want to apologise for being a negative shit in this space. I’ve let my emotions get the better of me and fear rule. You won’t hear anymore of my uninformed negative opinions from here on. All I have to say is I still believe and GO AVZ. We fight the good fight. Beers on me at $3 apologies again

This has/is stressing the fuck out of everyone here.
No apology required, but thanks anyway.
I will accept the beerSSSSS though.
