Manono's lithium file: Speculators and multinationals in search of financing at the base of the delay - The Dircab ClĂŠment Mushengezi fixes the opinion
Upon her accession to the Ministry of the Portfolio of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Her Highness Princess Adèle Kayinda Mahina, began first by making an inventory of the public companies under supervision before administering shock therapy to all these âlame ducksâ including the Congolese mining company (COMINIERE), a semi-public limited company, according to OHADA business law, created on April 12, 2010 following the decision of the General Assembly of shareholders namely, the Ministry of Portfolio and the National Social Security Fund (CNSS).
The purpose of the company, both for itself and on behalf of third parties, is to carry out all study, prospecting, research and mining operations for tin, colombo-tantalite, and all transferable and recoverable mineral substances as well as all operations of concentration and metallurgical and chemical treatment, transformation, export marketing of these substances and their derivatives, mining engineering and all operations likely to promote the achievement of the social object.
And generally, all financial, commercial, industrial, movable and immovable transactions, all acquisition of interests or holdings, in any form whatsoever, in any company or company existing or to be created that may be directly or indirectly related to the object if above or to any similar or related object, likely to promote its realization, its extension or its development.
The share capital of COMINIERE SA is 90% owned by the Congolese State through the eponymous ministry and 10% by the former INSS.
The press has made it its bold picks lately. We are in 2022, more than 10 years after its creation, nothing has been done for its development while in the bowels of the old mining town of Manono (Editor's note: Territory located in the province of Tanganyika, born following the sharing , in 2015, in four of Katanga, a region in the south-east of the DRC abounding in minerals, copper and cobalt in particular.
Manono was created at the beginning of the 20th century, with the exploitation by Belgian settlers of a deposit of cassiterite, the ore of tin), lithium, the metal that has become the star of electric car batteries, has been discovered in an old and vast cassiterite quarry called âRoche Dureâ, potentially one of the largest deposits of pegmatite LCT (lithium, cesium, tantalum) rich in lithium in the world.
âThere is even talk of reserves estimated at more than 1.5 billion tons of this precious mineral. It is the future of the country that is at stake here in Manono.
If all the companies participating in the joint venture are serious, once the Manono lithium project reaches maturity, the entire Tanganyika region and its surroundings will undergo a real economic and social transformation.
Unfortunately, this is not yet the case and we have to make allowancesâ, declared ClĂŠment Mushengezi Cirhuza, former Director of Cabinet at the Ministry of the Portfolio, speaking on the antennas of the Congolese National Radio and Television (RTNC). .
For the record, AVZ entered the partnership in 2017 with 60% of the shares; COMMINIERE, as a public company, 30% at; and DATHOMIR 10%. AVZ had a duty to seek funding to develop these mining projects. Five (5) years later, there is still nothing. It is in this situation that Minister of State Adèle Kayinda Mahina arrives on Wagenia Avenue in 2021.
Having noted this lethargy, the warrior will decide to revitalize the activities of this important company in the State portfolio which holds the one of the most important lithium mines which can help the development of electric batteries in the DRC.
But unfortunately, nothing was doneâ, specified the Dircab of the Minister of State Adèle Kayinda who, at the time, had breathed new life into this company before setting two objectives for its management: 1) To revitalize its main activities and, 2) Advancing the Manono lithium project.
To do this, the boss of the Portfolio will accept, after discharge from the Council of Ministers, that another partner joins the project to provide the necessary funding sought.
This is Zijing who has already proven itself elsewhere.
It should be recalled with the Dircab ClĂŠment Mushengezi Cirhuza that for the majority of the projects to be developed here in the DRC, both natural and legal persons often come as speculators, they raise funds internationally and leave with it by enriching themselves on the back of the Congolese.
Observation: The Congolese State is still in this state of non-development of its mines.
The Congolese people in general and those of Tanganyika in particular do not benefit from this. The representations of the people including CĂŠlestin Mbuyu Kabango, Martin Kabwelulu Labilo, former minister of Mines, even came to Kinshasa, the capital, to both complain and denounce this sad situation.
In short, Adèle Kayinda Mahina, according to the words of Director ClÊment, is a hardworking, fervent Christian, honest and honest woman.
She never accepts compromises with regard to her dignity and her Christian values.
She is moreover Princess, dignified and a woman of values.
As such, Kayinda Mahina Adèle is very uncompromising.
âThis whole campaign of demonization is only the fruit of the wickedness of people who only see their selfish interests in dangerâ, he concluded before shouting haro on the speculators.
