I'd like to remind everyone that it was stated by NF at the AGM, as well as specificaly stated in an official announcement, that the granting of the mining licence does
not depend on the outcome of the ownership disputes.
Many voices are saying this ICC case in July must be resolved before the licence can be granted.
Of course, maybe those statements were misleading, or the situation has changed since then, or TIA!
Rumblings of a new arrangement were underway, with some big financiers, and we just needed to be patient.
I like to imagine the DRC Government are well aware of how decieteful and criminal and impossible to work with Cominiere are, and well aware it is because of their shitful actions that the project is held up and in such a mess. They should be in jail.
It's possible negociations are indeed underway with AVZ to advance the project, that Cominiere have indeed been left outside, and this is why we see a damages case against AVZ. I don't know why no one else seems to be entertaining this idea.
AVZ have suprised us in the past, the CATH funding and offtake agreements came out of nowhere, with no whispers beforehand. They can keep secrets if they want to.
I know it's hard to dream with so much blatant corruption going on, again I'm just thinking out loud, and I obviously don't know shit.
Peace...
