USA is a strong chance to invest IMO.
A USA investment/commitment may steer the ship in another direction altogether.
A USA investment would also put a rocket under the SP, IMO.

Im in two minds about the US getting involved. The US Gov foreign policy in the last 20 years doesn't seem to go to well for 3rd world countries like the DRC. The US is also known for unscrupulous tactics and the odd snack here and there.. They are just better at PR. Perhaps this will work in AVZ's favour. Time will tell.

So when the Chinese screwed us over on barley sales and the USA moved straight in to fill the gap, that was strong bilateral support?
There is only one lithium deposit in the DRC, so which other supply are the USA after again? Or two, if you split Roche Dure and CDL up.
You dont really think they've just turned up to support their Australian buddies now do you?

RDC : Amos Hochstein, coordonnateur présidentiel spécial de Joe Biden, en visite à Kinshasa du 12 au 13 septembre
Le diplomate américain Amos Hochstein, coordonnateur présidentiel spécial du président Joe Biden pour les Affaires énergétiques internationales, visitera la République démocratique du Congo du 12 au 13 septembre 2022.

DRC-USA cooperation: Joe Biden sends a new envoy to Kinshasa
From September 12 to 13, Amos Hochstein will discuss with Congolese actors on investments, particularly in the mining sector.
Kinshasa expects to welcome a new emissary from US President Joe Biden on Monday.
Amos Hochstein, the US President's Special Coordinator for International Energy Affairs, will stay in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo from September 12 to 13.
According to a press release from the United States Embassy in Kinshasa, Amos Hochstein will use his two days on mission in the DRC to “discuss issues relating to the mining sector and investments”.
Tomorrow Tuesday, at the end of his Congolese journey, the Special Coordinator of the American President for International Energy Affairs, will fix the opinion on the quintessence of his mission during a press conference scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
Hochstein after Blinken
Amos Hochstein's mission to Kinshasa comes just a month after the visit of another Joe Biden envoy.
Anthony J. Blinken, the American Secretary of State, had stayed in the Congolese capital from August 9 to 10.
His visit, also two days, allowed him to discuss with his hosts on several areas and particularly on the investment sector.
One of two points at the heart of Amos Hochstein's mission.
Of course, the field of action explored by Anthony J. Blinken turned out to be much broader.
Indeed, according to the spokesperson for the US State Department, the Secretary of State had come ''to discuss the mutual interest in ensuring the holding of free, inclusive and fair elections in 2023, by promoting respect for human rights and protecting fundamental freedoms.
It also focused on "the fight against corruption, support for trade and investment, actions to deal with climate change, increasing agricultural resilience...".
The aim was also to support “regional African efforts to promote peace in eastern DRC and the wider Great Lakes region”.
The mining challenge
In view of the objectives of the two missions, we understand, therefore, the importance that the Biden administration attaches to investment in the DRC, and particularly to the mining sector.
Precisely in a context where several economic powers are now jostling in search of strategic minerals.
It is this rush for Congolese minerals that has become an issue in the region, especially since it has sparked numerous armed conflicts.
This prompted Anthony J. Blinken to ask neighboring countries of the DRC to stop supporting armed groups like the M23.
But what displeased many Congolese was to learn that, once in Kigali, the American Secretary of State began to dissuade Kinshasa from supporting the FDLR.
This balancing act is not to the taste of the majority of Congolese.

To be fair there's cobalt and copper in the DRC too.
What if they are just making sure everything is honky dorey for Elon to build a battery factory there with cheap labour?

*Speaking of "The Cat in the Hat " and other related Crap, I see where,
BMW counting on better battery cells to power EV ambition
- BMW Group says it will produce round lithium-ion cells with longer ranges and faster charging
- To supply the battery cells needed for the NEUE KLASSE models, BMW Group has awarded contracts for construction of battery cell factories to CATL and EVE Energy
These sixth generation BMW round cells come with a lower cobalt content and a higher nickel content on the cathode side.
On the anode side, the silicon content will be increased and as a result, the cell’s volumetric energy density will improve by more than 20 percent.
The company says these cells will be produced at roughly half the cost of the prismatic cells BWW currently uses in battery cell factories across six locations in key markets – two in China, two in Europe and two in North America with an annual capacity of up to 20 GWh.
BMW Group says it has already awarded contracts in the two-digit billion-euro range for construction of battery cell factories to China’s CATL and EVE Energy.
“We have also reached agreement with our partners that they will use a percentage of secondary material for the raw materials lithium, cobalt and nickel, as well as utilising green power for production, to ensure CO2-reduced manufacturing,” BMW Group Service and Sales Manager Joachim Pusch says.
Food for thought on our Hungry CAT - "Manono Mustard" you can't top that

A delegationled by @AmosHochstein met with representatives of the American company Piedmont Lithium, which is into conclude mining agreements. 1/2
Improving the business climate is the
for moreinvestments that lead to beneficial, sustainable and inclusive economic development. 2/2
Where does Piedmont get its lithium?
Piedmont will not operate the mines in Quebec or Ghana but has agreed to buy at least half of each company's production of a lightly processed type of lithium known as spodumene concentrate.
