Ha ha! Good points mate. The $12 point is my absolute favourite!Can't give the identity away online!
That would smash the myth and all would know the band was pretty fucking average.....
Will reveal all when we hit $2........ooops...$12 for Zijin!!!

Note the pejorative use of the word ’claimed’ to connote something sinister. A proper journo would have said something like “AFR understands that AVZ’s CEO is in country and is seeking a meeting with the President”. This one para from old mate T-bag shows both his lack of impartiality as well as his piss-poor writing skills.
Remind me, what skills does a journo need again?

Production of electric batteries: the DRC wants to strengthen its deal with the USA
At the invitation of the Biden administration, the Minister of Industry, Julien Paluku, and his finance colleague, Nicolas Kazadi, exchanged, on Friday April 14, with the American Under-Secretary of State for the Economy, energy and environment, José W. Fernandez.
Indeed, the two parties assessed the collaboration agreement, signed last December in Washington, between the Congolese and Zambian authorities on the establishment of a productive supply chain of electric vehicle batteries.
On this subject, discussions are underway on the launch of the prefeasibility study for the installation of the first factory of electric battery precursors in Haut-Katanga.
This meeting in Washington DC between the Congolese and American authorities, the second on the same subject, after the more informal one in Cape Town (South Africa), during the Indaba Mining forum, made it possible to relaunch the debate on a vital project for the DRC.
For some analysts, the reaffirmation of the Biden administration's "firm determination" to really support the materialization of this unprecedented project is another step in the right direction.
On the other hand, others believe that the project has already been launched with the pre-feasibility study of the installation of the first manufacturing plant for precursors of electric batteries in the copper capital, and more room must be given to action than in political discourse.
During the interview between Congolese and American officials, it was a question of evaluating the memorandum of understanding for collaboration signed in Washington between the DRC, which produces 70% of the world's cobalt, and Zambia, the world's sixth largest copper producer and second cobalt in Africa, on electric vehicle battery value chains.
As part of this agreement, the United States of America has made a commitment to support the project.
The objective of the agreement was to set up a productive supply chain, from the mine to the assembly line, while respecting international standards.
In building a value-added and sustainable industry in Africa, the U.S. private sector remains an important partner, both for technical knowledge and financing and business development, every step of the way.
Electric battery producing country
To set up its first electric battery manufacturing plant, the DRC embarked on a major charm operation to find key partners.
On the discussion table, the Congolese authorities have not only bet on the abundant cobalt resources and hydroelectric energy (a potential of more than 100,000 MW).
Instead, the country has positioned itself as a “low-cost, low-emission producer of lithium-ion battery cathode material precursors.”
In addition, the DRC also relied on a study by Bloomberg which estimates that the construction of a 10,000 ton cathode precursor plant would require an envelope of 39 million dollars on national territory, whereas the same construction would cost three times as much in the United States of America.
According to the study, the same factory built in China and Poland will cost US$112 million and US$65 million respectively.
Huge stakes
According to the expert, D. Yengebuta, everything starts from a projection.
By 2040, the sale of electric cars will surpass that of gasoline-powered vehicles.
To date, the major power most involved is China, whose companies are expected to produce more than half of the world's lithium production.
However, the DRC holds the largest untapped lithium reserves in the world, and China virtually controls the Congolese mining sector.
“Circumstances combine to present the country, the DRC, as a key player, but we are talking about a poor country that plays in the big leagues.
What would be its leeway, especially since it does not master much of this new technology? “says the expert.
The fear, he continues, is that the country could get bogged down in a war of hegemony between the powerful of the world.
“We can already see it with copper and cobalt. Investments in this sector are more profitable for foreign countries, with China in the lead”.
With the only difference that the DRC wants to become a country producing electric batteries, but there too, obstacles persist, in particular the heavy financing which must come from outside, the delay in lithium research, the road system in a disastrous state, energy deficit, etc.
In short, nothing is won yet, concludes the expert.

Hi mate. I certainly have the interest and ideas but bandwidth has been a bit tricky of late with clients piling the work on. Plus the wife has to go in for an operation tomorrow so I will be looking after her and all the house duties including her meals during her subsequent weeks of recovery.
On top of that I need to install a new starter motor on my car and replace a CV joint on my wife's car.
And apparently I need to clip my toenails.
But I will try this week to knock a few things up.

Thanks Spike - I’m happy to PM some ideas through if that helps.

I cut and pasted the picture from a Twitter post and the 40% was already there and I didn't know how to remove.
Cant remember who posted it.......may have been JAG.
And then there is this....
Dance Floors
Kinetic tiles installed on dance floors use movement dancers generate to create electricity which then powers lighting or other electrical systems within buildings.While these unconventional sources may seem strange at first glance, they offer us opportunities for creativity and innovation in developing sustainable solutions for our energy needs.
Would dancing generate enough power to keep the Marshall towers and lightshow going?
If not a backup of a couple of bags of potatoes could help out....
Potatoes
Potatoes have been a power source since the 1800s when they were first used to power telegraphs. A potato battery creates electricity through two metal electrodes inserted into the potato and connected with wires and a light bulb or motor. Although potatoes cannot generate enough electricity to power large-scale applications, they still have potential for small-scale applications such as emergency lighting.And if all fails we ask Tommy to help out, he is full of it......
Human Waste aka Plain Shit
Human waste is another surprising source of renewable energy that can be converted into biogas through anaerobic digestion. Sewage treatment plants can capture methane gas produced during this process and use it to generate electricity or heat buildings.Alternatives, the mind boggles...
And if we have some spare energy we store it in a lithium battery.
Or Tommy's shit captured in an AVZ lithium battery, they will need a big one for that purpose.
It is GT time.

“...and placed under the authority of the minister having mines in his attribution…”.
So no statutory independence - they’ll be taking their riding instructions from the very people that need this level of oversight and investigation. You couldn’t even make this up.
Alternatively, it‘s another ticking time bomb. “Right, you fuckers. No more mining leases until we figure out what’s going on”. Two years later…. Or am i being paranoid now?
