Since the arrest of the general and technical director of Cominier (Congolese state mining company) by the Congolese justice system, following the report of the IGF (Inspection Générale des Finances) which revealed the mismanagement and the selling off of 15 % (33 million $US than the 150 million of its real value) of the shares of the Congolese company (Cominiere) to the Chinese of Zijin in Datcom, things are starting to move in Kinshasa, Manono and Perth in Australia where AVZ Minerals is headquartered.
As a reminder, the Australian company AVZ Minerals, had made an agreement to buy 15% of the shares in Dathcom (joint venture of La Cominiere and other companies) from Dathomir of the Chinese Somon Cong; After accepting and signing the deal, Dathomir went back on his signature claiming a higher sum than in the deal with AVZ Minerals, following the increase in the value of lithium and the company in international stock exchanges, after the publication by AVZ Minerals of the results of the research permit in Tanganyika on lithium. Research that would have cost the Australian company more than US$75 million.
Avz Minerals already owns 60% of the shares in Dathcom, with the 15% “bought” from Dathomir, Avz now owns 75% of the Manono lithium and tin project. Something that Dathomir disputes today, who wants to enter the project with “his 15%”.
It was on November 8 that the Perth company published a press release on its decision of its legal crusade before the International Chamber of Commerce to affirm its interests in the Manono lithium and tin project.
