I'm an idiot - deleted. Thought Republic of Congo was Democratic Republic. (Usually when I see it referred to it's just 'Congo')

They mean two new Confucius institutes teaching Xi Thought.
Ah yes, little more than the usual Chinese window dressing and virtue-signalling by a subsidiary of Zijin Mining whose environmental track record is a pattern of neglect and indifference. When Zijin talks about sustainability in its reports, it actually means sustainability of profits regardless of the damage caused by its operations.
Building a couple of schools does not absolve that odious company of its environmental and social obligations.
Hold my beer.

Isn’t this what management did not want us to do?
That curriculum may need to be revised soon. Word is that Xi is on the way out...

Just a sneaky suspicion
Just received an email from DRC battery metals forum asking my own company to sponsor them 
Making it sound again like it’s done.

| We are writing to you from the DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum, taking place from September 29-30, 2025, in Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo. As you may be aware from the recent news regarding KoBold Metals' significant investment in the Manono lithium project, the DRC is rapidly solidifying its position as a global epicentre for critical battery metals. |
DRC: The Powerhouse Fueling the Global Energy Revolution |
|
|
The Democratic Republic of Congo holds approximately 70% of the world's cobalt reserves and significant copper deposits, with emerging lithium potential gaining global attention. The recent acquisition by KoBold Metals, backed by visionary investors like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, underscores the immense, strategic importance of the DRC in securing the future of the global energy transition. |
This investment signals a clear intent to accelerate the development of these vital resources and bring them to Western markets! |

Is there alternatives? The fb group has one bloke who posts good stuff but can’t comment on the rest of the weirdos on it. It gets weird there.
Im not sure if that nuxoll guy is skar from here - one time he posted exactly the same comment as skar's
It’s an obvious fake account but at times s/he pass on news well before it makes its way to the crapper or TSE.
From what I hear he's being out-purged. Some of his loyalist generals in the PLA being disappeared...
This is from an old article on 8-May, but of interest is the mention of the partial claim settlement, which presumably means partial wrt the 10B USD claim. I wonder what partial means, maybe 50%.
The Framework Agreement Structure
KoBold's entry represents a potential breakthrough in this protracted dispute. The company has proposed a framework agreement that would:- Compensate AVZ Minerals for its initial exploration work and partial claim settlement
- Divide the massive deposit geographically – with KoBold developing the southern portion while Zijin retains rights to the northern section
- Commit $1 billion for project development over a 5-year timeframe
- Establish clear boundaries and operational independence between the two zones

I know most peoples first thought is the bots are working for the Chinese... but they could very well be instead working for Kobold interests too...Seems like you're the new boss around here since everybody got vanished.
I don't know if I should be curious or suspicious.

I've already been in contact with him - he's ok.
Like me, he's from Germany.
He is a shareholder and only reads the forum.
I don't know if he is Skar.
I noted he quoted my post to the fb group. I think he misinterpreted my post. I wasn't calling him a weirdo at all, quite the opposite in fact. I think he's the only decent contributor on the fb group I've seen so far! I was more referring to the others... example - there's been about 10 Nigerian princes pop in to say hello!
okay...? Not sure how you could determine any poor intent from my posting. But have fun!
