On behalf of the Minister of Industry, Julien Paluku, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry Saturnin Wangwamba closed the DRC-Africa Battery Metals forum which was held from September 20 to 21 in Kinshasa.

In his closing speech, Saturnin Wangwamba wanted to thank all VUKA Group staff and all the partners of this forum for the efforts and logistics made for its success.
Also, he said, the Ministry of Industry recognized the expertise of all participants, moderators, panellists and speakers for their individual contributions to the coordination of relevant and constructive suggestions in the advent of a manufacturing industry. battery in Africa.

For the Ministry of Industry in the DRC, the time is not for speeches but for concrete actions proving visibility in terms of reliable infrastructure and effective provision of the measures taken for exploration, exploitation, production of battery metals, construction of product evacuation roads, manufacturing and its operation.
Also speaking on behalf of the DRC, the Ministry of Industry invited Congolese economic operators and other foreign investors to fully commit to the battery and electric vehicle manufacturing industry.

Excerpts from the announcement:
"These four favourable opinions (Technical, Environmental, Cadastral and Financial) underpin the rights
to the Manono Lithium and Tin project and will be instrumental in obtaining the company’s mining
licence."
"The Board welcomes Dr Tungaraza and Mr Ngandu to the Board of directors and believes the Company
is now better equipped with a diversified skillset to start development of its long awaited Manono
Lithium and Tin project."
For anyone who still doesn't believe we're intent on building/developing the mine with a mining licence.
We also wouldn't hire anyone new if we're looking for a settlement and just bluffing.

Dathcom is a DRC requirement.
Please read the legislation.
Does this announcement suggest doom and gloom for AVZ ?...............NO
Does this announcement suggest AVZ has a future ?...........YES

Fresh talent to detract from the MMGA maggots? I'm feeling positive about today's appointments though.

Under the current JV you mean?
Government ownership doesn't have to mean Dathcom.
I agree. Also why would they take the job. They both have plenty of accomplishment, I’m sure they would have other options and better opportunities if avz was going no where.

I don t think the " fresh talent " was picked off the tree for that purpose, it smacks me in the eyes of long term development....
Note also.........
Thats a promotion!
I’m curious how she was chosen as a director? Was it avz that approached her ? Or could the Australian government have something to do with it, who knows, maybe government have some direct involvement or at least showing more support. She seems like a big name to show up to a project tangled in legal battles. One of which that is against drc government.
I mean because of this:
Companies that wish to develop mining activities in the DRC are required either to incorporate a Congolese company or to elect domicile with a 'mining agent' as a condition of eligibility to obtain an exploitation permit. In addition, to be eligible for a mining permit, companies are obliged to either form a joint venture with a state-owned company (such as Gécamines) that already holds the necessary permits, or freely assign a mandatory 10 per cent stake of its share capital to the DRC.

Projects and governments plural. Perhaps this new appointment comes in exchange for some tenements with potential in Tanzania or elsewhere on the continent.

Yeah true BEISHA, it must have been in the wings for some time to organize and entice an appointment like that. The timing is fortuitous and her resume reads a lot better than PH and the unemployables."Fresh talent to detract from the MMGA maggots?"

That green dress is an epic troll, Shirley?
Well here we are with optimism in the air. Was told last week investors will receive regular announcements from the best BOD on the ASX. It was never the case of getting rid of the BOD but getting rid of shareholders with the mentality of schoolchildren especially those who take social media reports as gospel. Remember what Nigel said awhile back "Stay off Social Media" and that was aimed at the gulible, the stupid and those who complain that Nigel is paid $400,000 per year which is peanuts.
