AVZ Discussion 2022

[Chilla]

Unfortunately it has become a boys club here and unless you are considered a member of that club you are mocked and ridiculed. The behaviour of most of these blokes is pathetic. Their self opinionated and self righteous postings in the main are nothing short of drivel. The club however consider themselves highly intelligent and egg each other on with backslapping and childish approval. Only hope is that the august predictions are true and we can get out of here and move on with our lives. Just got to sit here and wait for a visit from the few quality posters with real information

Unfortunately there are more and more drop ins by peeps who have done nothing to share information or contribute anything of value to the community on this thread….you and your buddies pop up to just have a fucking whinge. There is a 2023 thread where you can hold your fucking whinge club meetings. You will find a more welcoming reception over there….just say’n

The troll thing must be a bit like the reds in the beds thing is it ? From where I stand looks very similar. Ah probably just me, couldn't be in this day and age.

Not really, what the fuck else has this idiot said or done but come and stir up trouble?
And you can bet your bottom dollar all those likes can be attributed to fellow trolls and morons.

Grand Inga: Lobbying contract between Fortescue and Olivier Tshilumba Chekina of 500 thousand $US and 35 thousand per month for 3 years

NEWSECONOMY
July 30, 2023
Kiki Kienge

By Kiki Kienge
Olivier Tshilumba Chekina , pastor and businessman especially very close to the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi , would have used this proximity to pay very large sums of money to promote the contract for the construction of the Grand Inga mega dam on behalf of the Australian miner Fortescue, a contract concluded in 2020 between the DR Congo and the mining giant Fortescue Metals Group (EMG).

The Congolese authorities since the visit of Félix Tshisekedi in China, seem neglected the proposals of the Australian billionaire, Andrew Forrest in favor of the Chinese.

Fortescue would have signed a contract in 2020 with Olivier Tshilumba Chekinah, close to Félix Tshisekedi and owner of consulting OL Consult, a pastor based in Canada.

A contract of US$35,000 for 3 years and a bonus of US$500,000 once the agreement is signed by the Congolese parliament, for the Grand Inga case, the agreement was signed by Julie Shuttleworth on behalf of Fortescue.

Olivier Tshilumba Chekinah should notably facilitate contacts with Congolese officials, assist Australians in promoting the image of Fortescue in DR Congo and provide strategic advice.

Olivier Tshilumba Chekina , allowed pastors blessing the election of Felix Tshisekedi in 2018

DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum ready for crucial September launch​

DRC industry and mining ministers confirmed to attend new platform”
By Staff Reporter
-
25th Jul 2023

The inaugural edition of the DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum, taking place in Kinshasa from 20–21 September* this year, will contribute to the establishment of an inclusive and equitable battery metals industry, support large-scale sustainable growth, local beneficiation and socio-economic development. This is according to Samukelo Madlabane, mining events director at the VUKA Group, the organisers of the new forum.

*These are new, confirmed dates.

“The DRC’s Ministry of Industry has been tasked by the government to build a battery metals industry in Africa, with a state-owned firm processing some of the battery minerals in the country and other African countries playing various roles in the value chain,” states Madlabane.
He adds: “In an effort to curb the effects of climate change, the world needs to go through an energy transition that will be driven largely by battery metals. With the DRC endowed with these minerals, the country needs a platform for dialogue on how to leverage the demand. The theme of the conference is: Creating wealth for the DRC and Africa’s battery metals industry value chain.”

Broad-based sustainable growth

Fresh from yet another hugely successful, record-breaking DRC Mining Week in Lubumbashi, a long-running flagship event organised by the VUKA Group, Madlabane and his team are only too aware of the crucial timing of the DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum and that the stakes are high.

He explains: “There is a need to ensure that as the DRC builds this new industry, that it does so in an inclusive and equitable manner, and it is critical to have all the players in the value chain in the room to make sure it happens in that manner.”
Other than for investors, the DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum is a must- attend forum for the cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, graphite, manganese, rare earths and 3T producers as well as battery makers, traders, investors and NGOs in Africa.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has given the continent renewed hope and it unlocks new opportunities, such as local beneficiation.
According to a Bloomberg study, it would be financially more reasonable to produce batteries in the DRC and in other African countries rather than producing them in China.
“The birth of this timeous conference is the perfect storm, the conditions are just right,” adds Madlabane.

Key discussion points at the inaugural two-day conference will include:

– The inter-ministerial dialogue of local transformation and building a local economy
– DRC and Zambia partnering in battery production
– What this means for the continent
– The mining operators’ opinions and contributions on matters related to local processing
– Energy transition metals, strategic issues, compliance and production standards
– The socio-economic plan for sustainable growth
– Developing incredible investor incentives
– Transparent value chains and governance

Broad support

The excitement and anticipation to define and develop this new mining sector are palpable among the public ánd private sectors.

Confirmed to engage in the constructive dialogue at DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum are:

– DRC Minister of Industry, H.E. Julien Paluku Kahongya
– DRC Minister of Mines, H.E. Antoinette N’Samba Kalambayi

Industry leaders that have pledged their support include AVZ Minerals Limited as cobalt plus sponsor; Fair Cobalt Alliance, Tantalex Lithium Resources, Tenke Fungurume Mining and CMOC Kisanfu Mining as cobalt sponsors; AxisHouse Group as copper sponsor; Elephant Trade as nickel sponsor; and Afritec, Carmeuse Handyman’s Lime, Knight Piésold Consulting and MMG as bronze sponsors.

There are still various sponsorship opportunities for sector leaders available to promote their sustainable mining industry practices to government officials, key leaders and decision-makers.

Flagship events

The DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum launch event forms part of the already impressive mining portfolio of the VUKA Group (formerly Clarion Events Africa), with long-running flagship events, such as DRC Mining Week, which was held in Lubumbashi from 14–16 June this year to record numbers (including 8000+ attendees and six international pavilions) and Nigeria Mining Week as well as Mining Review Africa, a leading industry magazine and online news platform.

Patriot Battery Metals announced its MRE for CV5 this morning. Look at its size in comparison with other global projects, particularly to Manono.
It's such a waste and great loss for the biggest resource sitting idle for over a year, sighed.

Are you John Reed ?

Let me give you a hint as to what will become of you if you continue in this disrespectful manner....

Could the recent political changes across Africa have anything to do with the current games in DRC as well? i.e countries such as Mali, Niger, Birkina Faso all siding with Russia and much of Africa starting to have a anti-western view?

Below article is a good reference and why I believe that many of these jurisdictions will side with China/Russia and become increasingly more anti-west. Hence most likely not caring much about upsetting the US and EU etc. Will they care about the World Bank if China and Russia will fund them anyways?
Just my pessimistic views on a Monday. Happy to be corrected..

AVZ still has leverage and will happily drag the ICSID proceedings (think the discovery phase) throughout a contested election campaign. Further to that, avz will not allow development of the cornerstone asset in the crown Jewell (generous term) that is to be the Battery Hub - a large driver of proposed income for the desperately poor population. DRC can side with BRICS all they want but the asset will remain stranded until we see our day in Court (happy to wait and embarrass these disgusting human beings). Cheers

Not sure how this is relevant, a lot has taken place in Russia since August 2022. Putin’s own power is currently under threat.

"AVZ will not allow development of the asset"

Unfortunately we dont have that level of control in the DRC. If the Government wants it to be developed it will be - though if its without us or without a sale, then that would come with many potential negative implications for the country - and its finances, reputation, and business environment.

However, does the asset necessarily have to stay stranded until we see our day in court? No. The DRC has already cancelled the permit to issue our Mining Licence. We still have an exploration licence but it's past expiry which was fine when we were in process of conversion, though it could be arguable that this process has now concluded. Cominiere and CAMI, those rats, are certainly arguing that this is the case.

The ICC has put a moratorium with penalty on any effort by Cominiere / DRC to dissolve our JV until the case is heard, but I dont see there being anything directly stopping them issuing the licence to another party and developing the asset. Sure this comes with significant risk and would likely eventually backfire on them at ICSID, especially if it was handed to anyone linked to those who have undermined us to date, but given the steps taken by the MoM so far it could certainly be done if the DRC wants to progress this without us (if they become willing to risk the negative impacts mentioned).

I don't see this as likely at this stage, and there's a lot of water between those bridges, with time for negotiations and sanity to take hold. But I don't believe for a second that the DRC would allow the resource to sit there untouched for the perhaps 3-5 years that ICSIC could take, given its strategic importance to the country and its plans. That to me suggests the likelihood of a negotiated outcome, but if that doesn't work then I could see the licences eventually being stripped and reassigned. So I don't think we should rely on the DRC letting the asset sit stranded whilst we take them all the way through the final Court award, saying its fine because AVZ won't let the asset be developed. This is the DRC, after all, and we might not get a choice.
