DRC-US Strategic Partnership:
Félix Tshisekedi Expected in Washington This Thursday

President Félix Tshisekedi will travel to Washington this Thursday, May 1, 2025, to finalize the DRC-US Strategic Partnership, following the agreement's recent approval by the White House.

According to a statement released Tuesday, April 29, by the U.S. Department of State for African Affairs, this agreement, dubbed the "deal of the century," marks a major milestone in relations between the DRC and the United States.

This ambitious partnership provides for the exploitation of Congolese mineral resources in exchange for a U.S. commitment to secure the country's eastern region.

Furthermore, it includes a massive investment in Congolese infrastructure, estimated at nearly $500 billion over fifteen years.

While the government in Kinshasa welcomes this cooperation, some members of the opposition and civil society actors are calling for vigilance.

They warn of the risk that this agreement will only serve to consolidate the current regime at the expense of national interests.

The Trump administration, a key ally of the Tshisekedi regime

Last Friday, under the auspices of the United States, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda signed a "declaration of principles" for an agreement aimed at promoting peace and economic development in the Great Lakes region, while ending the conflict ravaging eastern DRC.

Is it obvious to anyone but me that Kobold will back AVZ lawsuits to regain the North? Yes the US says they will not antagonise China but they don't have to. Just maximise the impact of the upcoming verdict. We regain control. USA buys.

This song keeps going in my head.....

Count me in, and I will fly over from Perth and drink it there ... plus eat some nice food while there. Probably start with a dozen Oysters Kilpatrik and follow with a steak cooked over the coals, etc.

We all know that the price of lithium is on the bottom with high possibility to recover in the next years...probably around that time when production starts at Manono. Talking about tin...its a bit of a different story...

Thanks Mute 22 for the article...
Now lets have a look at AVZ Defiantly Feasibility Study DFS from 21 April 2020...

AVZ suggested a selling price of 10.000 $

As today the price of Tin is 32000 US$....that would be a LOM of around 2 Billion US$ alone....while the tin price forecast for the next years could reach easy up to 100.000 US$.
The Tin alone would cover half of a nice big fat buy out cheque....what you reckon?

I hope this is the final catalyst for Kobold or anyone interested to start putting serious offers in. Once this is signed you’d think that buying Manono off AVZ is significantly derisked so let the genuine offers roll in. ICSID is a good negotiating stick to have but personally would rather not go through years and years of trying to get money from a broke nation.
Fingers crossed things about to get serious

It doesn't faze me at all to commence legal proceedings as it won't mean forever. Once a deal is struck the action will be dropped.

Even if negotiations drag out beyond commencement date, having proceedings in play enhances our our bargaining position IMO.

Shudder...

Manono-Kitolo mine​

The Manono-Kitolo mine is a former tin and coltan mine, which also contains one of the largest lithium reserves globally, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Original mine​

The mine was run by Géomines from 1915 to the mid-1980s, producing 140,000 tons of cassiterite (tin) and 10,000 tons of columbite-tantalite (coltan).

Since the mine's closure, companies have focused on the large lithium reserves at the site.

In 2018 studies reported a significant high-grade lithium deposit, estimated to have the potential of 1.5 billion tons of lithium spodumene hard rock situated in Manono in central DRC.

Géomines​

Géomines (Compagnie Géologique et Minière des Ingénieurs et Industriels belges) was a Belgian mining company active in the Belgian Congo and then in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It was established in 1910, and exploited a large deposit in the southeast of the country to become one of the largest tin producers in the world.

Belgian Congo​

The Compagnie Géologique et Minière des Ingénieurs et Industriels belges (Géomines) was founded in 1910.

Géomines was formed as a prospecting company by the president of John Cockerill, the metallurgical company, and geologists from the University of Liège.

It found various kinds of mineral deposits, but the most important was tin.

A deposit of cassiterite was found in 1910 in Manono in Katanga Province (now in Tanganyika Province).

Géomines was given an exclusive concession in a large area. In 1915 extraction of cassiterite began in the Géomines concession, producing 150 tonnes per year.

The deposits were near the surface and sometimes as much as 30 to 60 metres (98 to 197 ft) thick.

With a monopoly on tin, Géomines followed the rational approach of extracting lower-grade ores while prices were high and higher-grade ores when prices were lower.

*I swear to the Lithium & Tin Gods, every time i hear this Song i think of AVZ / DRC / Manono

BlackWater to secure and tax DR Congo’s vast mineral wealth

Erik Prince, a prominent supporter of former US President Donald Trump and the founder of the private military company Blackwater, has entered into an agreement with the Democratic Republic of Cong…

www.military.africa

These guys don't fuck around. The few and best military guys I know (serious killers not armchair generals) are now private contractors working in places they don't disclose to me. Sometimes I get videos sent of dusty bases with air sirens blaring and jokes about 'tonight's fireworks'.

They’re pulling serious FIFO money on steroids, and they’re damn near impossible to outbid as they are extensively vetted and monitored. It's far more competitive to get into this space than you think.

Blackwater is heading to the DRC with one clear mission: secure U.S. investments and ensure taxes go to the DRC (Felix's) coffers. As private contractors, they’re not bound by the same ethical constraints as official military forces.

I can imagine if they get in the way, they’ll deal with the Chinese ‘Handlers’ fast. Easy to spot, quietly redirected to black sites, and gone. The CCP will never admit they were even there.
