JAG as you know, there are a few shareholders who think sir les is der geist using another alias.
There’s probably merit in a lot of the criticism of Nigel and BOD but more than likely (as usual) he is trying to steer the narrative against Nigel and BOD when we are trying keep it on Cominiere, Zigin and Dathomir’s illegal and fraudulent attempts at extortion aimed at ripping us and the DRC off.
The company had good reasons for their actions and more importantly AVZ’s actions were legal…. Der geist has been trying to undermine AVZ ever since
I sold when my average was $0.16 because I saw a CR coming, now my average is in the 20’s…. No sense blaming others for our decisions, I accept responsibility and move on
A lot of people are dirty because they didn’t sell at $1.30, human nature, but turning our efforts against the company is not smart as thankfully many here realise…. Nice to have a chat with you, it’s been a while

For those still on the fence about Geist because he was the first to sound the alarm bells, consider this...
How come he was pushing it so hard?
It wasn't to protect shareholders, he was in on the shorting game and that game is to drive down shareholder sentiment.
He never got traction with it though, and It wouldn't suprise me if he was in cahoots with Zijin, who had to go to ICC for shareholders to take notice.
For a long time he tried to turn us against management with his several acounts here, at one point stating something like "remember the BOD are the enemy guys."
Our real enemies are trying to push alternate agendas, change the focus, switch the discussion.
One which has been a little successful is the price AVZ payed for it's 60%, which gained some traction with the congolese. We've been slowly stamping out that narrative on twitter. That cockhead of Cominiere was even pushing that on TV.
Just some old stuff

This was the part of the Zijin letter with the proposition to acquire 70% of 13359 north, which is not possible anymore, blocked by re-uniting 13359 to one lease.
However Zijin makes it abundantly clear here, that it has no intention to hand the 15% of Dathcom back to Cominière and be mister nice guy.
I think it is the problem, which will not be solved without Presidential intervention.

There were also the rumors that he had an altercation of sorts with Nigel in his office and was asked to leave. Nigel wouldn’t come to he party with whatever he was asking for.JAG as you know, there are a few shareholders who think sir les is der geist using another alias.

So he been trying to get his revenge ever since…
Boggles the mind that Zijin are still receiving some high level support when this is floating around to see! Raw blackmail.
Definitely.. but he posted photos lol.
If you don't want to believe anything at all on the internet then you might as well not check the forums as mgmt have been announcing fkall lol
CkK got himself in a pickle . No wonder he was freaking out in that interview .

I do have some news for CKK.
Fuk him.
But he highly likely has been told this by other people.
But don't forget his fearless leader with the deep pockets, he is part of this cockup.
CKK has only been left in charge to look after the shop and be prepared to be thrown under the bus, while the rest is enjoying a government sponsored holiday, the fool.

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
The letter from Cominiere to the Minister of Mines that she cites in the new decrees is CEM/DG/138/ckk/2022. I posted CEM/DG/140/ckk/2022 yesterday which is addressed to 'Monsieur le Chef du Guichet Unique de Création d'Entreprise Antenne de Lubumbashi et Responsable du Registre de commerce et du crédit mobilier à Lubumbashi'. Both written on the the 6th of December 2022.I tried to answer all the things CKK put in his letter to Antoinette N’samba on the other thread but no one usually looks their so I put my answers here. Just answered off the top of my head and probably just pretty obvious to most shareholders anyway…. Hopefully @Carlos Danger knows where the actual documents are
1) 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…..
Answer: It was Cominiere who sold the remaining percentages of the project to Zigin for $33 mill, with a $6 mill deposit, of which there is no trace in the Treasury
2) AVZ, an Australian company, is scheming, not without complicity, to steal everything from Cominière: lithium deposits, Mpiana Mwanga power plant
Answer: AVZ had a FROR contract with Cominiere to purchase 15% of Cominiere’s remaining 25%, but Cominiere illegally sold their shares in Dathcom to Zigin (see IGF Report)
3) The DG ai Célestin Kibeya Kabemba of Cominière SA, learned this at his expense, when on April 1, 2022, without title or quality, a certain TSHISEKE requested and obtained from the Mining Cadastre (CAMI) the transfer of the research permit assigned to Dathcom mining into an exploitation permit.
Answer: Once all requirements for the ML were attained the next part of the process is obviously to apply for the ML
4) Six days later, the Minister of Mines, Antoinette Samba Kalambay, signed two related decrees.
Answer: The only questions there are why and how was the tenement split
5) The DG ai Kibeya Kabemba maintains that there is to date no agent of Cominière SA, in the joint venture Dathcom mining, created between Cominiere and the Australian firm AVZ.
Answer: Because Cominiere illegally sold all its shares to Zigin and MMC
6) La Cominière cries out for a lack of transparency in fundraising operations
Answer: AVZ raised funds through publicly notified capital raises to retail and sophisticated investors…. That actually diluted the company’s own stock value
7) Cominière accuses AVZ of never communicating to it the financial statements of the Dathcom mining joint venture
Answer: AVZ has documented proof that it communicated all financial statements to Cominiere
8) CKK presumes 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.
Answer: To be added…. But a laughable statement considering Cominiere’s illegal sale of shares to Zigin (valued at $150mil) for $33mil (and the $6mil extorted in the transaction)
9) The mining company (AVZ) claims to have injected 70 million dollars into the Dathcom mining project at the exploration stage
Answer: Refer to AVZ achievements over the last 6 years, plus money raised to legally acquire shares in Dathcom
10) 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”.
Answer: AVZ is majority owner, has raised the finances and has carried out all the work and informed Cominiere of every step
11) AVZ 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) .
Answer: Cominiere basically admitting to being the ones behind CAMI not granting the ML (IMO)
12) AVZ having obtained the property of the hydroelectric power station of Mpiana Mwanga, thus dispossessing the Congolese State of one of its inalienable heritages…. now, 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
Answer: Refer AVZ MOU with Minister of Water Resources
13) Mr. Graeme Johnson of AVZ changed 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.
Answer: AVZ legally purchased an extra 15% shares from Dathomir as per legal contract
14) 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
Answer: Shares were legally acquired as per contract
15) La Cominière seized the CAMI, the commercial court to obtain precautionary measures.
Answer: Again, is this the reason CAMI refused to calculate surface rights and grant the ML!
16) Naturally, all interested authorities in the country have been made aware of AVZ's reprehensible practices, starting with the Minister of Mines herself.
Answer: Thanks for letting us know why Antoinette didn’t know what was really going on and giving us a clearer insight into your corrupt and illegal actions dickhead (CKK)
17) Since the beginning of December 2022 to date, the letter from the CEO of Cominière has remained unanswered, the decrees of the supervising minister neither executed nor repealed…. Capernaum.
Answer: Time for us to give the Minister of Mines all the facts on this corrupt arse clown
Hope that info is helpful to someone fighting our cause…. The answers seem to be common knowledge to everyone except Antoinette
Here is CEM/DG/138/ckk/2022 and a translation. I haven't been able to find page 5. If someone else has it please post it.

Cominiere have signed that offer from Zijin imo
Which if true means the DRC government is liable if the contract isn't delivered. That's why we are now being forced to come to an agreement with Cominiere and the licence has been delayed until we do imo
If we accept Zijin in Dathcom or give them the north then all of the DRC government's problems go away. Especially the MoP who somehow kept her job despite being specifically named as a culprit in the selling off of the states assets way below market value in the IGF report.
Do you think Nigel is now considering one of these options ?
My thinking has always been Zijin do not want AVZ/Dath in control of the project . If they can get Nth CDL they get the control and the 15% comes back to us .We power on with Roch/Sth CDL until offers start coming in . Nigel didn't sound too fussed about the Nth at the AGM .

No. The tone and content of the announcement on Friday indicated that we are still maintaining our rights. Ultimately it will cost the DRC government more to rat fuck us than Zijin.
While the meeting in Manono last week was billed as an event to bring the parties together, it was definitely more about making Cominiere look stupid imo. Although CKK has been doing a great job of that all on his own by being a clown in interviews.
It's a game of high brinkmanship and Nigel hasn't blinked yet. I think he is a better poker player than most give him credit for. Pocket aces only have an 80% chance of winning but you play them every single time.
So what you are saying is there are good and not so good options that can be taken ? The point being are these options we can fall back on if we are unsuccessful in pursuing what is rightfully ours ? You've always given me impression AVZ cannot lose everything . How serious do you think the MoM was when she said Manono is a matter of urgency ?
Carlos Danger

I think the plan is to get Felix to intervene
It's been 2 months and the MoM hasn't acted on the urgency. We are just left to work something out with Cominiere. So management are putting pressure on Cominiere to have the negotiations in public which they are trying to avoid for obvious reasons.
The problem is we are in this situation because Felix has chosen a coalition for reelection rather than supporting the IGF. So it's a big risk that he will act in our favour. If all else fails we will sell rather than operating with hostile entities in an environment where laws aren't respected imo
