Lithium Manono : Comment ZIJIN avec les 15% illégaux (IGF) fait-elle partie de DATHCOM sans aucune décision de justice ? - Kongo Presse

Ye it’s pretty fucked that the financial review absolutely ignores any of the IGF report findings ; but looks to trash Australian company AVZ using any angle it can ; unreal

FT seems to have walked on by, so I guess corruption is accepted, sadly.

 

[RHyNO]

AFR working with British shorter to undermine Australian company in geopolitical mess with Chinese bad actors Borders on treason. Government should be up his ass.

We should either sell for +$3 or bring in private security to surround the site 24/7 and stall all operations and secure ownership until we are paid a fair compensation. No dealing with these fools they will push us out before we even get a truck in.

Well it is nice to know someone in the DRC has an ounce of integrity. Restored my faith that a little.
We need to leverage off this article.

What interests me about the recent decrees, is there is no mention of "considering the IGF report". Is this due to being done by NGO's? Is MoM aware of the IGF report??

You see there is a point in blue below that specifies the consideration of the letter from Cominière in Dec.

I can't remember but was there a letter sent to MoM on the back of the IGF report?

Someone needs to take the mantle on twitter and spam every single tweet from the DRC and Tomydick.

Seems I have sent too many tweets......FML

We need to leverage off this article.

‘It is regrettable that AHV caused the Manono project to be blocked. Zijin will continue to work closely with the parties concerned to advance the development of the Manono project, for the benefit of local communities in the DRC. We encourage AVZ to show greater cooperation with the other Dathcom shareholders. Said Zijin Mining's internal legal advisor.’

So Zijin asking for AVZ to show great cooperation in order to advance the development of Manono with other Dathcom shareholder whom they claim to be a part of again ; Dathomir also mentioned a number of times within this article. Dathomir nor Cominiere have zero interest in mining this thing ; they couldn’t nor would want share in the financial lifting required to get this project rolling.

Scenario - Cancelling of the decrees

Decree 1 - Cancelling the decree which AVZ allegedly renounced the north section ; this is obviously what AVZ would have wished for , this does provide the carrot for the entire 13359 tenement to fall back under exploitation licence

Decree 2 - cancelling of ML for south ; obviously this would need to happen if the North and South was to become a single tenement again , so it’s welcome ; but it’s a concern , as we are more exposed to the whole thing just getting ditched ; there’s more of a window of opportunity here for thief’s to get their hands in and snatch something.

Neither Dathomir or Zijin will want to go to ICC; ICC is not a table that these guys are happy to play at ; it’s above board . They’d highly likely lose and end up with nothing out of Manono if they attend ICC.

This cancelling of decree clearly came out of the blue ; totally leftfield , Nigel now finds himself from a -‘ imminent, wink wink’ to an oh fuck situation where the gatekeeper of the licence, MoM has canceled the decrees and instead of just issuing another to cover the lot and get us back trading again, the cancellation is basically worded that we need to get to the table and sort out shit out with the other shareholders….

Dathomir is still at 15% on many holding docs even though we’ve paid what they were entitled to under the scheme of arrangement , Zijin claiming 15% and in their latest claim that say that they encourage AVZ to show greater cooperation with the other Dathcom shareholders. Of which they clearly claim to be one despite the video when they renounced their own interest in the project ; most likely a staged video to take some initial heat back off the situation which it was getting ; in order to rally a few more brown baggers up the ladder and sidewards before going at it again…. Which now they seem to have .

Nigel was probably at the point prior to these cancellations, where he thought that North was the area under siege and the south was under lock and key albeit still waiting for the mining rights invoice ,but we’d eventually get it under south with some direction from Felix and battle on for the North.

Cancellation of both decrees with ‘urgency’ now attached ; need to sit down with other shareholder of dathcom …

Zijin - telling us to join in on the fun and let’s discuss ! We encourage AVZ to show greater cooperation with the other Dathcom shareholders.

Dathomir name swirling around again

Cominiere obviously benefits from Zijin , whilst Cominiere seems to be making noise about 60% after all this time

AVZs ICC case starts in April … as said before they won’t want to chance that one … maybe what we’ve got here is a -

We’re all going to get around the table Nigel ; forcing the majority holder of Dathcom to come and take it out ; negotiate a deal …. MoMs decree cancellation stated ‘urgency’ ‘ holding project hostage ‘ ….. it came out of the blue …. So there’s a risk of another thunderbolt coming out of the blue and you’ll lose the lot ….., but hey … they north is back on the table

Highly likely Dathomir , Zijin and Cominiere concocted something and managed to get something down MoMs neck and this is where we are now

Fair bit of pressure if this is the case ; which when thinking into it and sparked by Zijins comments of please consider the other shareholders and the people of DRC ….

Non of these will want ICC ( April ) ; MoM - urgent …..

Agree to something now or lose it I reckon is where we are with this one ; may need to take on Zijin I reckon … Dathomir … not sure about that one , he may need some sort of payment to wash him of the JV register … Cominiere of course likely to run home sweet with a bag of cash imo

As ever , loads of typos no doubt ,no time to check , but you’ll get my drift

Do you think that 13359 can be both Exploitation and Research at the same time. Ie single tenement? I've been trying to find an article in the Mining code about this.

It confuses me as to why the PE was cancelled as I see that one as being the way to go about it. See below what AVZ stated in the announcement last year.

My thoughts and posts at the time were to just pay Cong his $50mil and secure that 15% and let Zijin have their 15% . They will contribute to the build and bring expertise . To concentrate on Roche Dure/sth CDL and don't risk losing it at the expense of trying to secure nth CDL. We would be building a mine now and the SP over $1 . Maybe it's time to put egos to one side . Sometimes it's not just about how much money you can make , but making sure you don't lose your money . Nigel now needs to make sure SH don't lose their money . Get off the moral high ground and work within the conditions you are in .

 

[Frank]

I think we should finally learn now that the president is not our rescue hammer and can not work against so many bad people in his government in the same time. He is the first president after a long kabila regime. The MoP is against us for many months now, the MoM clearly showed that she has enough and want the project go forward.

I think the government don’t care if with us or without us. All that fighting against cominiere and zijin instead of working for a relationship had bring us in the situation that they finally try to get the complete license back. They had 18 months to cancel the deal with zijin but nothing happened in our favor, after two times the MoP accused by the IGF she is still there.

I’m not sure why I was so blind and imagined that a few people and a little company have a chance to change this corruption influenced by the Chinese. The world know about the image of the drc, nothing will change and nobody care if they kick us out. I’m not sure how anyone can believe that everything will go in our way. I can’t believe they restore the complete license and give a new decree, the unwilling of working with each other still exist. The government would not benefit.

Zijin would work with us they don’t care and want to make money with the project, maybe they would take us over later but who cares. If we don’t come to a agreement I don’t think the government will wait many month’s until the ICC is settled. Their people are dying and they need money, and a little Australien company don’t want to work with corrupt guys (what I completely understand but what choice did we?) and this generates a situation nothing can go forward. The president, the prime minister, the MoP or MoM could give their best to cancel that deal and show they are behind us. But they didn’t. Our lawyers or marius didn’t changed the situation. What else can we do anymore than just accept the situation and take zijin money what would help to start with the project? Go to ICC and claimed for money the next years?

The government showed they can’t be trusted. We can loose all our money or make a agreement with this assholes and hope it’s not to late for it. I’m the first one who hope the best but I’m the first one too who can accept when a fight is lost. even if you want to shoot against me, but I think the management misjudged the situation and hoped they working in accordance with the law.

Yeah, but, but Felix said,

The DRC delegation to the Mining Indaba is also made up of the Minister of State in charge of Small and Medium Enterprises, Eustache Muhanzi, that of finance Nicolas Kazadi, Julien Paluku of industry, Antoinette N'Samba Kalambayi of mines, but also the governor of Haut-Katanga, Jacques Kyabula Katwe, and the governor of Lualaba Fifi Masuka as well as that of Haut-Lomami.

It should be noted that the DRC pavilion in this exhibition is a real window open to the world, which welcomes several visitors, a sign that the DRC, producer of 70% of cobalt in the world, is at the heart of this investment Mining forum in Africa.

The African Mining Indaba is the place where holders of capital meet African countries rich in minerals.

The challenge is to identify the resources and the needs to build an integral development of the countries and to bring a change in the life of the populations.

In his speech, President Félix Tshisekedi praised the wealth of the DRC but also the reforms undertaken to improve the business climate.

Food for thought

So Zijin asking for AVZ to show great cooperation in order to advance the development of Manono with other Dathcom shareholder whom they claim to be a part of again ; Dathomir also mentioned a number of times within this article. Dathomir nor Cominiere have zero interest in mining this thing ; they couldn’t nor would want share in the financial lifting required to get this project rolling.

I think the article has some printing or translation errors obe. I also think some here are not fully aware of how the whole mess instigated by State owned Cominiere is difficult to undo and put right legally.

I’m keeping the spotlight in the press around corruption in the DRC mining sector until Tshisekedi makes a judgment in our favour and I am prepared to do that right up to and after the election if I have to.

@wombat74 there is no question Dathomir would lose their claim at the ICC in my opinion. The proof is in the detail, and thank goodness Nigel has done things legally and didn’t fall into the trap of paying Cong off!!

@Dazmac66, I hope you and your wife are still looking at the possibility of a successful outcome, as I am

@Winenut, I notice a nice mix of ‘bags’ and expressive expletives in your post…. When it comes to the Mantle I think you will be known as the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)

We know, the turd and other trolls are lurking around in here. Does anyone know the turd’s (twat’s) address, after seeing that photo, perhaps someone needs to contact child protection services.

Last day of the AFRICAN MINING INDABA…. I hope any potential investors there read AVZ Minerals’ storey.

And I hope potential investors at this year’s VUKA GROUP promoted DRC MINING WEEK in June and DRC AFRICA BATTERY METALS FORUM in September also read about our story

Over the last 6 years in the DRC, AVZ have carried out Soil Sampling, Field Mapping, Consulting, Drilling, Metallurgical Testing, Completing a FEED Study, Environmental Study and Impact Assessment Reports including Groundwater Management, a 160 page Definitive Feasibility Study, a SEZ Agreement, Tendering for Mining Infrastructure, Legally Obtaining and Paying For an Increased Share of Dathcom, Obtaining Several Offtake Agreements for both Lithium and Tin, Raising Capital, Negotiating Funding with Pan African DFI’s and a Funding and Offtake Agreement with CATH, Presenting at the Battery Minerals Conference, Legally Fulfilling all Requirements to Obtain the Mining License, Including Receiving the Ministerial Decree to Award the Mining License and producing an 85 page Sustainability Report, Spending millions of dollars and Supporting the Local Community….

Now corrupt State owned Cominiere is working with the Minister of Mines and Director General of the DRC Mining Cadastre (CAMI) to deny granting AVZ Minerals a Mining License

Agree with your thoughts .
You cannot fight against the MOM new condition and risk loosing it all.
Except if out of left field the MOM issues a new decree issuing the ML to AVZ before negotiations commence regarding the 15% from Comminire .
As it stands Cominiere now have 25% of the project .

 

[Sammy_da_Smile]

I the case you are right, why didn’t the MoM told AVZ that they have to make a agreement or they get kicked out instead of canceling it without any information and so many accusations? That’s the illogical part of behavior in my eyes.

But I see it the same way, only two possibilities:

1. it was to make pressure to force avz to negotiate a deal

2. they found a way to kick us out, but this one has to be bulletproof. I don't think the government would risk a possible defeat in the icc over billion dollars

I think the part with the arrest of the MoM was a mistake. The old minister of mines was arrested. Antoinette is still in cape town or on the way back. The media would go crazy if it’s true.

@Sammy_da_Smile the nothern exploration area would have received a new license number.

Yup I agree, the cancellation of decree 145 is the puzzling part for which I have been trying to get my head around.

The original in French says 'Voilà que ZIJIN par cette déclaration, juste après l’Arrêt du ministre des Mines Congolais, Antoinette N’samba Kalambayi'

Arrêt also translates to stop or stoppage in English

AFR working with British shorter to undermine Australian company in geopolitical mess with Chinese bad actors Borders on treason. Government should be up his ass.

We should either sell for +$3 or bring in private security to surround the site 24/7 and stall all operations and secure ownership until we are paid a fair compensation. No dealing with these fools they will push us out before we even get a truck in.

I hear the Wagner group is looking for work....

Lots of compromise talk...

Mupande is CORRUPT

Mupande is CORRUPT

Mupande is CORRUPT

Mupande is in bed with Cong and Zijin and on the take loving the brown bags

Mupande is CORRUPT

Mupande is CORRUPT

Mupande was removed from the position of DG of CAMI a number of years ago

MUPANDE WAS REMOVED FROM THE POSITION OF DG OF CAMI YEARS AGO

But is still unlawfully in the role and CORRUPTING THE MINING SECTOR OF THE DRC ON A DAILY BASIS

Every day he is there is CORRUPTING THE DRC MINING SECTOR

How obvious does it have to be that MUPANDE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE POSITION HE UNLAWFULLY HOLDS AND BE PROSECUTED

Fuck me....

And by the way

Once Mupande is fucking sorted out we will be going after Tommy (yes you personally Tommy) and the AFR for their continued biased (and probably funded) attacks on AVZ and the constant barrage of misinformation that they channel from Boatman Capital (and other sources) to damage the reputation of AVZ (in Australia and internationally) as they look to assist nefarious shorting entities to undermine the company and smash the shareprice in the market

The financial connections and motivations for Tommy and the AFR will not be difficult to unravel......you can see them already...the digital trail will be a walk in the park to illuminate

The groundswell against corruption and the bag boys and those complicit in grubby self interest will be too massive to avoid

The guilty won't even see it coming.......it will sweep away the unsuspecting, soul-less, low-life, gutter dwelling pigs like a fucking tsunami
