Lithium of Manono, Nsamba Kalambay tangles the arrested in the conflict Cominière vs AVZ
Isn't there an elected representative, deputy or senator, not necessarily from Tanganyika, to stick an oral question with debate, to the reappointed Minister of Mines, Antoinette Nsamba Kalambay on the Manono lithium affair.

Faced with the indifference of the minister, who was hardly in a hurry to give correspondence, 3 months ago already, on such a sensitive file, even internationally, Mgr the diocesan bishop of Manono, Vincent de Paul Kwanga, and the number one local Methodist Church, Bishop Guy Mande Mutombo, zapped the government to handle the lithium issue.
The two bishops are working to bring together the Congolese mining company (Cominière) and the Australians of AVZ for the easy resumption of the activities of the joint company DATHCOM mining which operates one of the world's largest lithium deposits. Not easy…when the political ramifications from Kinshasa become entangled.
In a catiline-style letter, the DG ai of La Cominière, Célestin Kibeya Kabemba, complains to the Minister of Mines, Antoinette Samba Kalambay, reserving a copy to the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Chambers that the DRC is in the process of to lose one of the world's largest deposits of lithium in its possession.
While Sicomines' chinoiseries and dols are still in the news, AVZ, an Australian company, is scheming, not without complicity, to steal everything from Cominière: lithium deposits, Mpiana Mwanga power plant, etc. , it was not an April Fool's joke. The DG ai Célestin Kibeya Kabemba of Cominière SA, a public company, learned this at his expense, when on April 1, 2022, without title or quality, a certain TSHISEKE - the consonance is not too far with Tshisekedi - requested and obtained from the Mining Cadastre (CAMI) the transfer of the research permit assigned to Dathcom mining into an exploitation permit. Six days later, the Minister of Mines, Antoinette Samba Kalambay, signed two related decrees.
DG ai Célestin Kibeya de la Cominière had no choice but to alert various authorities in the country to this deception. In his correspondence referenced CEM / DG / 138 / CKK / 2022, the DG ai Kibeya Kabemba maintains that there is to date no agent of Cominière SA, a state-owned company, in the joint venture Dathcom mining , created between Cominiere and the Australian firm AVZ. All positions reserved for the Congolese side were occupied by people imposed by AVZ.
La Cominière cries out for a lack of transparency in fundraising operations. AVZ is a publicly listed company in Australia. She requested funds on the ASX stock exchange without giving the correct information to Cominière SA. In addition, Cominière accuses AVZ of never communicating to it the financial statements of the Dathcom mining joint venture.
Overbilling for questionable work
Other grievances, heavy presumptions of over-invoicing of certain adjoining projects of which Cominiere was never aware, such is the case of the Manono camp which AVZ estimated at two million dollars. The mining company claims to have injected 70 million dollars into the Dathcom mining project at the exploration stage. What Cominière finds surreal. And the acquisition prices for metallurgical processing plants are ten times higher than in the feasibility studies. AVZ has also taken the liberty of signing sub-contracts without ever involving the partner Cominière. “The Congolese State has therefore lost all control in this company [Dathcom mining] in which its interests should be well defended by Cominière”.
AVZ thus paid for the audacity of dispensing with the favorable opinion of Cominière in order to convert the exploration permit granted to it into an exploitation permit with the Mining Registry (CAMI) . Worse, AVZ supports, continues the DG of Cominière in his accusations, having obtained thanks to his lawyers, the property of the hydroelectric power station of Mpiana Mwanga, thus dispossessing the Congolese State of one of its inalienable heritages.
But now, out of nowhere, the firm AVZ Power, presented as a subsidiary of AVZ Minervals, even obtained the signing of a contract from the Minister of Water Resources and Electricity, Mukaleng, to rehabilitate the Mpiana Mwanga power plant.
Fraudulent capital increase
Never two without three, Mr. Graeme Johnson of AVZ even has the audacity to try to fraudulently change the capital of Dathcom mining to the detriment of the State by increasing AVZ from 60 to 75% at the level of the Single Window for Creation companies (GUCE)not without internal complicity. The AVZ mafia agent was finally unmasked, arrested and sentenced to 3 years in prison at the TGI then confirmed at the Haut-Katanga Court of Appeal. As if this condemnation were not enough, AVZ convened a meeting of the board of directors of Dathcom mining to record the transfer of its 75% of the shares in Dathcom mining - when in reality, it only holds 60% - to Green Lithium Holding. La Cominière quickly seized, in turn, the CAMI, the commercial court to obtain precautionary measures. Naturally, all interested authorities in the country have been made aware of AVZ's reprehensible practices, starting with the Minister of Mines herself. But, alas, since the beginning of December 2023 to date, the letter from the CEO of Cominière has remained unanswered, the decrees of the supervising minister neither executed nor repealed…. Capernaum.
Apologies for starting another thread but every time there is an article on this lying fuckwit Celestin Kibeya Kabemba or Cominiere the information gets lost among the other comments so I just had to do it
Somewhere @Carlos Danger provided the actual documents with all Cominiere’s lies and deceptions but I’ll be fucked if I’m going back through the threads to find them
Thanks to @Azzler @ThisTimeWin @Remark @Winenut @Xerof @Pokok @wombat74 @MDRY for all your jokes yesterday…. This thread needs more of those.
Now I’ve apologised for starting about my tenth thread and thanked our resident comedians
