AVZ Discussion 2022

[Winenut]

From what we're hearing it seems the well orchestrated Social Media/Twitter campaign exposing corruption, corrupt activities, corrupt individuals, dodgy ministers and the findings of the IGF has found traction and been very effective

Everyone involved in that take a bow

Apparently there has recently been a request from the powers that be to tone down that particular campaign and focus on highlighting the benefits of the Manono project to the DRC and what AVZ can provide

I'm cool with that general idea but I want to be very specific in that we highlight everything that is good about the project while at all times inextricably linking AVZ to Manono and those good outcomes

I don't think we should highlight the benefits of Manono in general without it being specifically in conjunction with AVZ

You don't want Zijin and other rat fuckers picking up the great benefits of Manono that we highlight on social media and then attaching their filthy name to the potential positive outcomes

I also think while we are highlighting AVZ and good outcomes and linking all that with Manono we should continue a serious and hard campaign against Zijin highlighting their deplorable human rights record in the DRC (and around the world) and their rape and pillage attitude towards the people and the resources they exploit

We need it understood out there with this project AVZ is the one that can honestly and fairly deliver on Manono for the benefit of the DRC and there is absolute daylight between AVZ and anyone else in the race

Interesting that MM reckons he will be due a success fee, but AVZ ASX announcement says no success fee

Forget 5mil - I'll give him the ol' Manono reach-around myself if he get's this over the line with the government.

[IndependenceDay]

I get it mate.
It's doing everybody's heads in.

I'm hardly the most reserved here when it comes to blowing up/ off.
or giving it to Twitter posters or DRC politicians.

Thing with me is after I've had my rant, I move on all serene for a week or so then go off again.
But I'm good in between. Really good.

What I do manage to do is not let others or the general feeling at a moment in time pray on my emotions.

That's why I can continually make jokes at others' expense. Yeah, I know most of them are crap.
I'm not really angry, just giving fuck wits what I think they deserve.

Overall, I don't let the situation eat away at me

Maybe some here need to just go to the beach with their loved ones or well anything really, just leave here for a day or two.
Same with Twitter.

If previous experience is anything to go by, you will not miss much and your mental health probably will make a substantial uptick.
And yes, most of you would be missed but we'll get over it.

There's more to life than this shit.

Just saying.

Hi folks, long time lurker, very occasional poster.
Thank you ptlas for the perspective.

This afternoon I am attending a funeral of a dear friend and colleague (41yo).
Died suddenly last week whilst out hiking remotely in WA.
We are all in disbelief that this could happen to a fellow ambo… but we also all know bette….

So I just want to say, keep your loved ones close, hold them tight and give them some of the attention that you may have been affording AVZ/DRC.
Everything in life has a season and the dark days with AVZ will soon pass, so rant on here then go and nurture those that have stood by you throughout this.

waiting for 24 of March Zijin's financial report to see if they make any progress apart from only paid $5millions

Whilst we are on this, what is the chance of Koreans coming in as a partner or TO? We seem to be getting fair bit of web traffic coming from Korea in the last few months.

I wouldn't believe what Zijin reports in its financial statement. Whatever the figures are will be faked anyway to mask it shady operations.

 

[JNRB]

From that video it sounds like the current blockage - no doubt reinforced by Zijin and their DRC tools - is that FT still isn't convinced we have the ability to pull the project off, and may still view us as speculators. So hopefully that's what NF and co are trying to fix.

Yes it's true. ZIJIN pointing out that AVZ already can't properly manage an exploration program. They have been frivolously wasting money on things like quality housing for workers, roads, and community engagement. How can a company so wasteful be expected to build a mine?

ZIJIN simply pointing out that they are much more financially prudent and will build the mine without any of that stuff. In fact, they're so financially prudent they will save even more money by not properly paying local workers and by selling the product at a discount to Chinese buyers so they pay less local tax. Also don't forget; human rights abuses is directly proportional to mining ability so Zijin for sure best choice.

LICOCO denounces the administrative and legal harassment faced by economic operators in the Province of Tanganyika. The Great Lakes Cement Company (GLC) Kabimba, which has invested 200 million USD, is prohibited by the governor from selling cement. 1/2

The reasons for the decision of the provincial authorities are, among others, the refusal of GLC Kabimba to pay $450,000, to grant the Governor the possibility of being the exclusive distributor of cement from the GLC Company throughout the province of Tanganyika and neighboring provinces. . 2/2

Shhh

Yep.. View attachment 31499

Mate they look like hard working fingers for an accountant .

Koreans? Definitely, a possibility ... imminently! (????????) IMO.

Seriously, any big wheel from a credible democracy would be very welcome.

 

[Dopi]

Marius says nothing about Felix directing the MoM to cancel the partition. If that was the case then the reasoning used in the new decrees wouldn't have been about Cominiere's hurt feelings. And Nigel wouldn't have reacted the way he did in his letter.

Hi,

I am french-speaking and just watched the video.

He seems to be insinuating that it was cancelled to be taken together again (North and South) and that it would then be a good thing..

That is what I understood

It’s a common condition among AVZ holders.

All of this truth needs to be spread around to everyone in the DRC voting population. The people will vote for whoever acts on decisions on behalf of the people. The more informed they become, and the more everyone is talking about it, the bigger lever this is to pull on.

Amen I hear that!

I broke my neck surfing 4 weeks ago. Thought I was fucked but now on the mend. Definitely given me a different perspective on life.

Also this thread gave me some good laughs in hospital during some really shit nights.

You bunch of funny cuntz!
Ps.
Fuck hot crapper

Sadly I don’t understand french and can only use translator, but the way you write it, it looks like marius and our management still don’t know the intentions and speculate about it.

Or am I misunderstanding it and Marius formulated it in such a way that he is convinced that it was only to bring the parts together?

He says it's a good thing but I don't feel him 100% confident, more trying to be positive.

But I liked the way he speaks, I am convinced we chose the right person to advance our interest, he's smart
