Why would they need to do that?Worrying indeed. So the next devious play is that Cominiere forget to pay the surface rights and suddenly someone swoops in and gets the tenement a la MMCS.
Rack up another couple of court cases to unravel this next snafu.
@kron, I agree - amazing how quickly surface rights can be calculated!
Cominiere's plan is to form a JV with Zijin at a 76% to 24% split in Zijin's favour using the rights to 13359 they now claim to have. Which has been backed up by the MoM and new CAMI DG. The document shows the MOM justifying this by citing the Kalemie high court decision on May 3 2023 which was is in violation of the ICC emergency order preventing Cominiere terminating the Dathcom JVA.
But clearly the MoM doesn't give a fuck about the ICC. Technically under the mining code Zijin and Cominiere should have to go through the whole drilling process again and then apply for a PE as it is a new applicant but as if they won't just use our DFS numbers and have it rubber stamped by the Minister of Brown Bags. This will end with us making an out of court settlement at the ICSID with the DRC government and Zijin is going to pay for it on their behalf imo
