MMG promises to launch arbitration proceedings against GECAMINES
MMG, a mining company registered in Hong Kong, announced a few hours ago its intention to open arbitration proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris and Geneva against GECAMINES, a mining company belonging to Congolese state.
GECAMINES is accused by the Chinese side of violating the rights of the latter on several mining concessions in the former province of Katanga.
Among the grievances formulated against GECAMINES, MMG refers to the incident which occurred on September 16, 2022 following the incursion into the Nambulwa concession by the armed forces who chased away, a few days later, the regularly installed staff.
If MMG employees and contractors have been able to return to the site since September 28, 2022, the DRC armed forces would still be on the scene.
The second incident relates to the Sokoroshe II concession where the same scenario would have taken place a little earlier, on July 1, 2022, with the company’s employees and other contract workers who, in fact, were unable to return to the site, prevented by the military.
In both cases, the company indicates that it has been informed of the conclusion of various agreements between GECAMINES and third-party companies, allowing the latter to carry out activities in the areas in question.
These areas would however be part of mining leases concluded with GECAMINES and should allow MMG to increase copper production at Kinsevere, its only mine operated in the DRC.
According to the mining company, GECAMINES justifies these actions by violations of mining agreements by MMG.
As a reminder, the Kinsevere copper mine entered production in 2017. It delivered 22,090 tonnes of copper cathodes in the first half of 2022.
MMG announced, in March 2022, a project of 550 to 600 million USD intended in particular to extend the life of the mine by 13 years from 2022, with an annual production of 80,000 tons of copper cathodes and 4 to 6,000 tons of cobalt hydroxide.

Wish I was invested in a lithium stock and not a fucken political footballA lithium M&A frenzy could be on the cards as cashed up producers eye the Next Big Thing
All your lithium news, Tuesday October 18.
- Pilbara Minerals accepts its latest pre-auction bid on the BMX totalling US$7,100/dmt
- Bulletin Resources identifies more than 50 new pegmatite targets at the Ravensthorpe Lithium Project
- Sayona develops a transport solution for its North American Lithium operation with a Quebec rail operator
Another good day for lithium stocks as homegrown success story, Pilbara Minerals, accepts its latest pre-auction bid for a spodumene cargo ahead of the tenth scheduled auction on the Battery Material Exchange (BMX).
A strong response was received for a shipment of 5,000dmt grading 5.5% , which was made available to the group of registered BMX participants prior to the auction.
A pre-auction offer of US$7,100/dmt (SC5.5, FOB Port Hedland basis) has been accepted which PLS says equates to a price of roughly US$7,830/dmt on a SC6.0 CIF China equivalent basis after adjusting for lithia content on a pro rata basis and freight costs.
Luke Laretive, Seneca Financial Solutions’ CEO says the $14.29b market cap company could be looking at $1.1bn in free cash flow – “I can’t see them paying a dividend or buying back their own shares,” he explains in an interview with Stockhead.
Lithium producers could be looking to secure strategic assets
“That means we could see a bit of an M&A frenzy with producers like Pilbara, Allkem and IGO looking to secure strategic assets of scale and increase their exposure to sustained higher prices.
“There is a large valuation differential between ASX-listed lithium developers who expect to get into production next year vs those with longer term development time horizons,” he says.
“We see an opportunity these generally higher quality, more strategic and larger scale projects who might not get into production until 2024 or 2025, as the most likely M&A targets.
“Developers that fit this bill include Vulcan Energy Resources, Piedmont Lithium and Liontown Resources.”
A nice boost for lithium stocks as prices go skyward… again

That’s right j.l,Didn't Chris Ellison / MinRes do the same thing to Pilbara Minerals just before they got their licence? Something to do with a ROFR claim tied to a tenement bought by PLS.
I think PLS ended up settling for a similar chunk.
I thought you sold all your shares
I read before and after highlighted and I think it was about nutting out what is reasonable time,It reads like it is at the ASX's discretion whether to enforce regardless of anyone's claims but you do you. Personally I think companies should have to disclose immediately even in suspension.
Objectively untrue. Just as bad as saying everything is going great. Not necessarily happening the way we would like or on the terms we would prefer but it is realistic to continue to expect value on this investment in the future.We are fucked and there's no coming back from it.
…when will people learn to focus on the stock not posters?
Back to stock:
“I think it’s complex, where is the better Good?”
Where is the better Good? If it’s true AVZ notified ASIC of Congo Jungle conditions?
My view is also it is hard to defend management on every point in the rule book
Anyone seen the full length transport study appendices T1 T2 in AVZ DFS? First one to locate “Infraology’s two reports… T.1 and T.2” , and I’ll delete my TSE
account
“ Infraology’s two reports can be seen in Appendices T.1 and T.2 of the DFS report.”
Hate to say it but sadly guys, (and not specifically, girls too... and others I guess) from my point of view, it's time to move on.
We are fucked and there's no coming back from it. Time to bite the pillow and take the pineapple as they say.
This whole thing stinks... and I've seen it happen several times over with other penny stocks I've owned.
Say bye bye to your millions and toughen up the fight and move on.
Gonna be hard building up that base again but it can be done trust me. Good traders know how.
Sad story for all involved but when you have a system that is so rotten to the core that even it's own head is fearful of cutting it out to spite it's own face then we have a pretty much Buckley's chance of progression.
The best we can hope for is a lift of suspension under the guise of "imminent" good news. A slight pump form charred shorters. Then plummet into the abyss.
I will race you to the door.
