Mate you were always of the belief Roche Dure was in the bag and the dispute over the North was the hold up . What's your take on things now ?
I don't think I ever said RD was in the bag. It was only in the bag if we allowed Zijin in Dathcom or gave up the north. The hold up on RD was always Mupande and the surface rights games that the partition allowed him to play.
My take now is that Cominiere have signed the offer from Zijin and the MoM is trying to bully AVZ into accepting one of the outcomes by forcing us to negotiate with them. Nigel's response has been to call bullshit in his letter and work with the NGO's and officials in Manono to show that Cominiere are absolute fucking morons.
If we don't play her games then the MoM will be forced to issue us the PE for all of 13359 or take it all off us. The DRC won't risk pissing off the gringos and this becoming a case study in why not to invest there while they are currently begging for western investors imo
