From Jean-Paul Piurac to Everyone: 08:50 PM
Can the speakers confirm that there were not 2 versions of feasibility studies?
From Paul to Everyone: 08:51 PM
Conclusions of the IGF on the illegal activities of Cominiere and Zijins with regard to the mine of Manono. Have these been discussed and condemned? as such, was AVZ's offer which was far superior and better for DR Congo also made public to the group here today so they can view the matches in progress?
From Kevin L to Everyone: 08:51 PM
Do some people from COMINIERE put the interests of ZIJIN before those of the Congolese?
From Joe to Everyone: 08:55 PM
the Chinese made a better offer.
From Paul to Everyone: 09:01 PM
Have you seen the AVZ offer? Did they mention it here or just the money that was offered? they also offered 8% in AVZ shares for example. Lots of lies from those involved in corruption here.
From Paul to Everyone: 09:08 PM
8% of AVZ is worth much more than 33 million. Then look at the dividends they will receive from the shares. It is shameful that people are told that China's offer was better.
Always love your posts but this is one of your best! Thanks for all the effort*Fyi, fwiw, To add to my previous post,
Too much high level, country-building and DRC world-building stuff happening now to give the Zijin much airspace.
Felix knows that if he can pull off full vertical integration for EV batteries, the DRC will never look back.
This is his country's generational moment.
It would be inconceivable if Felix didn't bat down anything (illegal) that would hamper something this significant. Genuine progress is being made here, and tbh, reasonably quickly.
Telephone meetings in Feb have turned into in-person meetings with CATL in May. Felix is entering the world stage atm, and I believe he and his ministers are smart enough no know the West is watching, via credit rating boosts, etc. IMO, the recent CATL meeting is the tell; it indicates (to me) the delicate balance of percentages are being taking care of.
I might be dead wrong, but I cannot see how Felix would get his battery hub with mucking around with ownership percentages this late in the game. CATL is Chinese, but they're notable leaders on the world stage and integral to Tesla's success (and other multi-billion dollar companies).
Perhaps, in Felix's mind, vertical integration for his country IS the basic issue and everything else is back-burner.
If this is the case, I would assume continued bullish tone from Nigel.
Let's remember, it all started here, and branched out very rapidly from Dec2021 onwards.
"Study by BloombergNEF (BNEF) on a unified African supply chain estimates that it would cost $39 million to build a 10,000 metric-ton cathode precursor plant in the DRC.
This is three times cheaper than what a similar plant in the U.S. would cost."
*recent dates first,
If any of you fools think Felix is going to put up with "snacks," you're misguided.

You in the zoom there @DiscoDanNZ ?
How is COVID treating you ? What are your symptoms ?My bad
I blame Covid head fog and will be retiring to bed very shortly
Focker out...
No, did anyone message youYeh I was thinking of being a snake in the grass with that name, see if anyone suss would start a private convo
Thanks BeishaHow is COVID treating you ? What are your symptoms ?
Never had Covid, doing my level best to avoid it.
Take care
Keep The fluids up mate hope all goes wellThanks Beisha
I've never had it till now either!
I think it's different for everyone who gets it
Our good friend @Dazmac66 is a case in point (hope you're on the comback trail there buddy )
My symptoms were like the flu but different
Headaches, joint pain, huge fogginess in the head, confusion, massive fatigue (wanted to sleep but couldn't which was weird) sore throat (not massive) coughing (dry), runny nose (not so much blocked), chills for me (not so much fever)
On top of that my wife and kids had been crook for a number of weeks
I was last man standing but they had all tested negative to that point
To be honest I really didn't think I had Covid
Currently I care for my mum who has dementia and my mentally ill sister who still reside in the family home from my childhood in the 60's
I quit work after dad passed away early 2021 as mum and my sister at that point needed help and fortunately I was in a position to provide it
I only got the PCR test because I wanted to make sure I didn't go to the family home with covid.....there is a very strong chance (given her age and health) that if mum gets the flu let alone Covid it would be terrible
Worth checking out the symptoms and being aware
Don't hesitate to get a PCR or a RAT to confirm or eliminate your Covid status
Most of all make sure you're okay and all your loved ones
OMG dude, your description of your symptoms sounds bad enuff, cant imagine what @Dazmac66 went thru having to be hospitalised, i realise that symptoms vary from person to person, some say its just like a flu and done and dusted in 3 days, others say the contrary, so thats the reason why i asked.Thanks Beisha
