Why didn't you post this idea here brah?
Care to elaborate on what you meant by the 'spirit of the deal'?
Does it mean Cong won't win at the ICC but will embarrassingly claim a 'moral victory' instead?

Dathomir have lost every question before the ICC so far
And will continue to lose
The tell, apart from all of the facts, is in which party wanted the proceedings made public, that the court agreed with, and which party didn't imo

So are we now certain that the DRC government is in contravention of the interim ICSID orders? Just checked the CAMI status and nothing has changed, I'll bet my left nut Zijin is still drilling the north, working on the power station and generally not giving a rats arse about the interim orders. Hope I am wrong, it would be nice to know what is going on. 9card, AVZ, Beuler....... Anyone??
It's possible that Zijin is drilling CDL with Dathcom's 'approval' in order to get a better measure of the resource before potentially eyeballing Nigel and team across the negotiating table. I guess the key is whether Zijin is doing step-out drilling, or drilling closer to the boundaries in order to better understand the dimensions of the ore body. As much as we distrust these thieving Chinese rodents, I suspect that at some stage AVZ and Dathcom may need to negotiate with them (I cannot see a western cavalry riding in to save the day).
If Nigel's negotiating team wants to get the best price for its asset, what better way than get that pack of slimy pricks to drill it for free. It's their sunk cost, not ours.
Perhaps this is also why there is radio silence on the matter.
Just thinking out aloud.

How would this work (hypothetically)? What arrangement could possibly protect AVZ from being in competition with a hostile world mining giant with zero morals.
Not a useless point - I would imagine a lot of members desperate for a glimmer of hope. They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn!
We're all feeling the same. Doesn't hurt to have someone vocalize it every now and then
Just at minor point, the circumference at the equator is about 40,000 km, where do these fucking idiots intend to drive to?Mining Indaba 2024: the DRC benefits from a deposit of 450 million USD for the construction of 180,000 km of roads!
After his fruitful stay in Cape Town, South Africa, where he went to represent the Head of State, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, at the 30th edition of Mining Indaba, the Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Sama has not returned to the country empty-handed.
In sans game, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde returns with an agreement of 450 million USD, signed on behalf of the Congolese Government, with the South African development bank and the company Guma Africa Group.
This envelope must be used, according to the clauses of the said contract, for the construction of 180,000 km of roads, over the next three years, across the 26 provinces, and, in particular, the 145 territories of the DRC -Democratic Republic of Congo- .
A real boost for the PDL-145 T -Local development program for the 145 territories-.
For, the focus will be on construction equipment, road rehabilitation and maintenance, which will be carried out by the ITPR Ministry.
This partnership also involves improving the capacities of the OVD and the Roads Office, training and strengthening the capacity of the workforce, including operators and technicians.
It is appropriate to emphasize that this agreement for the benefit of the DRC, its government and its people, is the fruit of the managerial dexterity of the Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde, who knew how to sell the image of his country, not without presenting the assets and potential that it abounds, to attract foreign investors and big capital.
Bearer of the message on the vision of the President of the Republic and of the entire country concerning the mining sector, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde was able to identify the opportunities offered by the context of climate change and the need for the energy transition, the potential of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which brings to the world the strategic minerals essential to this transition, as well as this need, for the DRC, to see the exploitation of its resources create jobs for the benefit firstly of local communities, especially young people, thanks to the development of local value added chains in the DRC, with the responsible investments expected, particularly in the clean energy and connectivity infrastructure sectors.
He brandished the dynamic of cleaning up the business climate initiated by the country, with courageous reforms, with a view to upgrading itself in relation to global competition, to facilitate the activity of investors.
The DRC, he said, "has embarked on digitalization reforms, but also the fight against corruption so that every day it can capture more resources for the benefit of its populations."
It was on February 7, 2024, that the DR Congolese Prime Minister summarized what constituted his agenda in Mandela's country.

*Sama Lukonde just another Snake in the grass who speaks with a Forked Tongue
Fyi,
The phrase "speaks with a forked tongue" means to deliberately say one thing and mean another or, to be hypocritical, or act in a duplicitous manner.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forked_tongue
Does Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde really understand what he is talking about?
Why am I not surprised that the DRC was standing still under the leadership of this absolute idiot.
Spirit of the deal in hindsight is probably a misnomer. More accurately I'm referring to the fairness component required to ensure a successful contract in which both parties walk away happy.
It's not good enough to circle the wagons at the first sign of dissatisfaction claiming, 'Tough luck, we've got a contract...nah, nah, nah...see you in court'.
And where has that hairy-chested attitude got us three years later...nowhere with lost opportunity and much pain for holders with no end in sight.
Blind Freddy could see the deal was lopsided and an absolute bargain for AVZ. Thus there was enough meat on the bone for us to give ground and still emerge with a good deal. It's called pragmatism.
Cong was fully informed when the deal was made
Winenut
Go AVZ!
Cong, Zijin and Cominiere can all go and get royally fucked
Simply criminals ignoring the law and legally binding agreements
Everything they do is in breach of rulings through appropriate courts and jurisdictions
Corrupt fucking cunts the lot of them
Sellers remorse from fucking Cong, corrupt lining of pockets from fucking Celestin/Cominiere and flagrant disregard for anything but benefit to China from fucking Zijin
There's your fucking reasons we are in this never ending fucking nightmare
Hope they all burn in hell
