I dunno, would be nice to hear from Nigel.Exactly!!!! Also why I have said all along, the value of the north needs to be factored into any quick resolution. Otherwise pursue legal avenues and seek restitution.
If Bezos wants an EV startup with US manufacturing and chemical conversion fed from Manono, Pony up.
Yeah to me it smells like Kobold tried an opportunistic "hey sell it to us for cheap/half price let China have the north". Where as Trump has a very hardline "China needs to pay" approach. Last article said, Rio, Kobold, Orion - so many suitors linging up. I can't see how/why US would continue to let China project powr and pillage Africa and disrupting global markets (subsidising lithium production suppressing global price... tarrif China lithium chemicals, cars, solar panels, etc 1000%).

Good luck with that if indeed negotiations are at the tipping point.
Silence is gold right now until a formal announcement drops.
