As in the former Justice Minister, Rachida Dati? If true, that is probably the most bizarre thing about this whole saga so far!

Neither AVZ nor Dathomir have the obligation to cede 'part' of their holdings to the DRC government listed in their commitments under the JV that Cominiere signed eyes wide open while holding 25% of DathcomGreat post and thank you Carlos
Looking at it a bit closer and re-reading the relevant articles
"Dathcom need to cede 10% to the DRC government under Article 71 (d) of the mining code"
Very clear
View attachment 41963
"Cominiere are committed to being the party within Dathcom to cede the 10% to the DRC government under Article 5.1 (i) of the Dathcom JVA"
A little bit "fuzzier"
View attachment 41964
Here under the Dathcom JVA Cominiere is commited to transferring "part of it's partcipation in Dathcom Mining SAS"
Does that imply Cominiere is not the "only" party nominated to participate in ceding the required 10% to the GOVT? ie the other parties with owenership interest in Dathcom Mining SAS will also cede some of their shares to make up the required 10%???
Is this where the notion of a pro-rata is coming from?
Maybe they are having a lend, that's not really relevant though.If there are so called whispers going around it would have leaked to the broader market by now . I think someone is having a lend of you . A lot of punters are sitting on big profits they can't get their hands on . I'm guessing for some it's life changing . Only natural to want to believe anything positive . One thing I would suggest is if these so called leaks are coming from AVZ minerals itself I wouldn't get your hopes up . Not going by their track record . IMO
Oh I must have missed that I havent heard shit from her in a long time.Darling Adele first pronounced this some months ago. It'll be in the archives

but at that time she was in a bit of a corner, having donated 5% to MMCS1, as a gesture for hurting their feelings
Does anyone have any link to this knowledge circulating that Cominiere want it pro-rata?
Where was this info first heard?
Soundly like something they are trying to renegotiate, JV says no.

For CKK, MoP and MoM to remember....I know pneumonia can cause severe hallucinations, get better soon and stop hallucinating!
Darling, ffs you must be really sick.

Really appreciate the posts Carlos
It doesn't from what I have been able to find. It is implied by only Cominiere having that commitment out of the 3 company's as far as I can tell.Really appreciate the posts Carlos
The thing I'm looking to track down is where in the JVA it explicitly nominates Cominiere alone must cede 10% of Dathcom to the Govt
I haven't quite been able to put my finger on that clause....that's the one I'm trying to find for absolute certainty
fucking mine field isn't it....It doesn't from what I have been able to find. It is implied by only Cominiere having that commitment out of the 3 company's as far as I can tell.
It's a long document and all in French so I may have missed another section where it specifically says they alone must do it but I'm pretty sure AVZ are basing their claim that Cominiere must cede the 10% to the DRC government on Article 5.1 (i) of the Dathcom JVA

No the mining code says the applicant which is Dathcom. It is the Dathcom JV that AVZ cite in the ministerial decree announcement about Cominiere needing to cede the 10% but it doesn't specify an Article.I think it’s in DRC Mining Code
The reason it was written this way and didn't specify exactly what amount Cominiere need to cede was just in case the DRC government changed the amount that applicants need to cede in the mining code imoNo the mining code says the applicant which is Dathcom. It is the Dathcom JV that AVZ cite in the ministerial decree announcement about Cominiere needing to cede the 10% but it doesn't specify an Article.
The only article I have been able to find in all of the Dathcom JV that in any way mentions this matter is Article 5.1 (i)
