Assuming that the 51% criteria is new, I agree that it would be a nightmare to be forcing old companies/JVs to restructure to conform to the new share structure. So it makes sense that if this is the case it applies only to newly-formed companies/JVs.
Welcome HELIOS.

ACAJ denounces the sell-off of COMINIÈRE assets by private companies
The Congolese Association for Access to Justice (ACAJ), during a press conference on Saturday May 14, 2022 in Kinshasa, denounced the selling off of the assets of the Congolese mining company (COMINIÈRE), a public company located in the territory of Manono, in the province of Tanganyika, by private mining firms.
To ensure the interests of the Congolese state, the president of the ACAJ, master Georges Kapiamba, suggested that the government initiate the review of the Dathcom mining contract and ensure compliance with article 58 of the Constitution.
According to him, COMINIÈRE only holds 5% of the shares.
All the rest goes to the private sector, 60% of which goes to the Australian firm AVZ, he said.
According to him, the investigation report carried out by ACAJ at COMINIÉRE reveals that certain State services supposed to ensure the interests of the State, such as the Mining Cadastre and the General Directorate of Mines, did not play their role.
This is what has, in particular, led to the selling off of the actions of the Congolese State, argued Mr. Kapiamba.
According to the number one of ACAJ, COMINIÈRE no longer has access to the Manono site, only AVZ and other mining firms hold the operating permit.
From the social point of view, the population of Manono, he said, lives in a deplorable situation, the same for the artisanal diggers.
Therefore, this human rights NGO called for the involvement of parliamentarians in the governance of natural resources in the DR Congo.
“We are calling on parliamentarians to wake up, to take up the issue of the governance of natural resources.
They must no longer leave the government the latitude as well as state companies to sign contracts on mining, forestry and oil concessions as is done to date.
Because everything that is done always leads to leonine contracts that do not benefit the Congolese people.
Otherwise, we will jeopardize the future of our children and grandchildren,” said Me Kapiamba.
On the occasion, the ACAJ promised to make public the report of its investigation into the file relating to COMINIÈRE in the very next few days.

In my opinion we need to do as much as we can to raise awareness in the DRC and try to make this the general sentiment.
We need to raise awareness about China's history and encourage investment of "other" countries who will give the DRC a better result. There are numerous DRC journalists and anti corruption activists on twitter.
In my view, every tweet mentioning Manono/DRC lithium should have replies on it discouraging letting China take over the project. We probably want to be a little more subtle than simply saying let AVZ have it, but rather showing the benefits to the DRC people of having "other" countries invest who will behave in a more ethical way.

Manufacture of electric batteries: the emissaries of a Chinese giant in Kinshasa
From words to action.
Industrialists are attracted by the Kinshasa project to set up factories locally for the manufacture of electric batteries.
For months, Julien Paluku wet the jersey to succeed in this challenge.
Operators interested in the project to install a pilot plant in Lubumbashi in Haut-Katanga are now knocking on the door.
A Chinese giant specializing in the sector has taken the bait.
Very interested in this major African project, CATL, a Chinese technology company equipped in the production of Lithium-Ion accumulators for electric vehicles and energy storage systems as well as accumulator battery control systems, sent a DRC team led by Li Chang Dong, representing the Chairman of the Board.
The emissaries of the Chinese giant exchanged on Saturday May 14, 2022, in Kinshasa, with the Minister of Industry who explained to his hosts that the DRC has very large mining deposits which are involved in the manufacture of electric vehicles and batteries including lithium, cobalt and manganese.
Julien Paluku stressed that the protection of investors interested in the DRC is one of the priorities of the Sama Lukonde government, while assuring CATL that the doors are wide open to it.
The Chinese company has promised to quickly settle in the DRC.
The assurances of the Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi, and the government were warmly welcomed by the envoys of this Chinese company which has proven itself in the industry of electric vehicles and batteries.
This major project will boost the Congolese economy with the creation of wealth and jobs, it is reported.

Probably not a bad strategy if it's subtle. Interestingly Facebook seems like the weapon of choice if we're talking about the general populous. Internet penetration some 17% apparently.
I would say so. Anything that will draw attention to what the Chinese are trying to do by gaining control of this project through illegal means. The more attention is drawn to the Chinese history of exploiting DRC resources, the more people may get behind giving AVZ a fair chance.
Get better asap.
I hope no long term damage for you.
Everybody is different and reacts different to covid.
If we all would be the same, life would be boring.

I’m hitting Tuscany tomorrow for a few days - any winery recommendations?
The Temp was the best thing on offer by the glass at the pub we played at on Saturday
I like a Temp but my goto usually is a GSM or any other interesting blend
Keen on Italian wines too....but the simple reality is whether it's white, red, or in between, straight, a blend, French, Aussie, South American, wherever and it comes in a bottle there's a pretty good chance I'll drink it, like it and find the right food to match it!
Haha sure did and the other question "Do you expect me to eat this?"I bet you are glad to be home daz, did the nurses get sick of you asking for the wifi password to check the market
Stay safe mate & I wish you a speedy recovery

It is lovely to be home, Wasn't allowed any visitors in the COVID Alcatraz ward. Still on heavy painkillers so no driving or work for at least a week.
I just can't believe the lack of response from DRC government so far. Friday will be interesting, I am hoping we will see a sledgehammer come down on Comminier and Zinjin. Can't help but be nervous that these pricks are handing out more brown paper bags than a tuckshop on Friday!
Edit. Thanks for the advice Jag. I know you went through a herrendous health scare as well. This Friday pivotal for many of us. Having the coin isn't everything but it sure helps
