AI really stands for amplified intelligence. The person asking it questions still needs to know what the fuck they are talking about or the robot will just make up shit and it will go unnoticed imo![]()

Bring on dates for ICSID hearings. Last time was 3 days hearings with a spare day. Lock them in. ICC hearings too. I'm done with the nice guy, waiting for the opposition. All cards on the table then sale negotiations.

ICSID dates have never been published except by 9card on this forum. I notice there seems to be the impression on the crapper based on AI research that there is some sort of negotiation about ICSID dates going on. ICSID rules are very clear. Available for anyone that's not a robot to read whenever they like. Clearly states that the modified procedural calender must be set by the tribunal BEFORE suspension begins.For the actual timeline if we need to go through with it all, it is below:
- March 1, 2024: Claimants submit a Memorandum.
- July 26, 2024: Production of documents and objections deadline for both parties.
- August 9, 2024: Claimants and Respondent provide responses to objections to document production.
- September 27, 2024: Tribunal issues a decision on document production.
- May 5, 2025: Identification of witnesses and experts for cross-examination by both Claimants and Respondent.
- June 2-4, 2025 (June 5 reserved): Scheduled hearing involving all parties.
It's officially Friday so I'll get the party startedPerhaps we should ask for the new ICSID calendar at the AGM. Surely that information wouldn't disadvantage us if it was in the public domain. It's no secret we are going through ICSID.
Confucious also say, 'It is good to meet girl in park. But far better to park meet in girl.'
Confused say good for girl to meet boy in park but better for boy to park meet in girl.
It was non binding lolView attachment 92604
Apologies if it's been mentioned recently, but when does the framework agreement expire/did it have an expiry? Or was it indefinite until either party terminated the agreement? Just can't remember
Yeah, so I'm not really sure what they're on about saying it's expiring then. Just more misinformation.It was non binding lol

Why did Kobold acknowledge AVZ's legal rights ? Why did kobold commit $1 Billion usd to the development of Roche Dure? Has a deal already been done between Kobold /DRC ? Meaning Kobold (other than Zijin ) are the only horse allowed in this race ?In November 2021, at the DRC-Africa Business Forum during the lithium price surge and six months before AVZ delisted, Félix Tshisekedi presented his country as Africa's ideal high-tech/battery manufacturing hub...noting his country's vast mineral resources, well-established mining legislation, business-friendly environment and skilled labour force.
He further emphasised his country's competitive advantage in the electric vehicle battery value chain as "...the most competitive destination for investments in batteries for electric cars."
Fast forward four years, and despite endless spruiking, the DRC remains to same aid-dependent cesspool of corruption, cronyism and grinding poverty. Little of the billions received from (mostly) Chinese mining licences and royalties has found its way to rebuilding the DRC's crumbling infrastructure or desperately needed community projects.
Instead, funds are skimmed before they get to treasury, wasted on pet political projects or simply pilfered by Felix and his entourage of like-minded kleptocrats.
Despite confidence returning to the LCE market, and spot prices again climbing past $US8,000/t, it is not surprising that potential suitors for AVZ's Manono assets remain nervous about the DRC, and are prepared to offer only a proportion of Manono's true value. Until there is certainty around ownership of Manono's mineral rights, potential suitors will probably keep their hands and their money in their pockets.

What's this Partnership ? A Partnership in what? Isn't Kobold an explorer ? Don't they need to find something first ? Chances are they will find SFA . So a partnership in SFA . What's Kobold waiting for ? They have the backing of the DRC government . The President has said it himself .So make an acceptable offer FFS.
After failing to secure RD Kobold has been granted exploration leases around Manono. They have also undertaken to upgrade and digitise DRCs Mining Cadastre. There's a third element of their deal with DRC but can't remember.What's this Partnership ? A Partnership in what? Isn't Kobold an explorer ? Don't they need to find something first ?
