The president needs to “task” people, and “demand” results, preferably with hard deadlines. And he needs to create consequences for his subordinates who will otherwise wilfully ignore him.
This was a fantastic documentary
- John Kaninda is a great representative and talks about AVZ 75%, Cominiere 25%
- many stakeholders from Manono interviewed and they talk about how they will benefit from the project
- numerous stakeholders request the mining license to be granted
- lots of detail on what Dathcom/AVZ have done so far in terms of drilling, community consultation, environmental studies etc
- discussed potential tax revenue missed due to delays in the project

Is that a question you have asked your daughter? Wife? Niece? They must think you are a charming fellow.
Totally agree but now has given the IGF the authority to ensure the law is followed.How much harder can Jules slap the report on Felix’s desk? FT needs no further information…
So would expect greater involvement by the IGF.
That report slapped hard on FT desk stated Dathcom hold 60% legally.
Just waiting on 10% transfer from Cominiere to the state and surface rights paid on the whole of 13359 then it will be possible for ML to be granted.
However still no news on result of MCCS vs Cominiere ??
Zijin would be utter fools to go to the ICC with FT now supporting follow the laws in the Mining laws in DRC.

Re: Zijin would be utter fools to go to the ICC with FT now supporting follow the laws in the Mining laws in DRC.
Unfortunately, Zijin may be unfazed by Felix's pre-election rhetoric about supporting the rule of law, and stamping out corruption. Jules' IGF report has been on Felix's desk for a year and it's still (corruption) business as usual. If Felix intended to rid his administration of corrupt officials, he would have acted by now.
Me thinks Zijin has a lot of dirt on a lot of DRC politicians and officials, and will twist the knife as hard as necessary to get Manono. As a result, I think Zijin is prepared to play chicken with AVZ in the lead-up to the ICC hearing, but ultimately it may be a negotiated settlement.

Great documentary. Still working my way through. One of the problems is the perception that an energy transition won't happen without them. Might be giving some complacency to politicians. The fact is they absolutely can be left in the dust if the business environment can't be fixed.

Haha, it just means the bribes were a bit low and China will need to lift its game.

Eye on Lithium: Afghanistan says 'no' to Chinese lithium investment - Stockhead
The Taliban has reportedly rejected a Chinese company's plan to make a US$10bn investment into its lithium mining sector.
Haha, it just means the bribes were a bit low and China will need to lift its game.

And just something a little different if Manono ever gets off the ground (pun intended) https://apple.news/AZGqQdC98Qw6bdRJWlwYcbg
And for those not Apple users https://amp.abc.net.au/article/102289310
So you would rather lose everything than have secured Roche Dure ? The President has done nothing up to this point and with the election only 7 months away it is far too risky for him to get involved now .In fact he will be busy going to Beijing later this month to meet with his friends.

Time will tell, just useless speculation until then.
We have no idea what's going on, terrified because we're in the dark.
I think it's been a nessesary evil to keep us in the dark to get the job done, unfortunately.
For all we know, Nige and team have known all along that we have got this "in the bag."
They're just making the right moves to secure what we know is ours.
The question also assumes we were offered the split tenment but we refused it. We don't know that, the question is pointless.
It just sounds like agenda driven FUD to drive negative sentiment toward BoD.
