In two articles published by the Australian media, Financial Review , the journalist Tom Richardson insinuated a kind of corruption in DR Congo to the loan of the authorities of the country on the part of Mr Marius Mihigo in his implication as strategic adviser of AVZ Minerals in the project Manono Lithium, in particular to the directors of the Australian lithium giant, AVZ Minerals, to pay Mr Mihigo more than the value of his work, of course not advancing any proof of this.
After the clarification of AVZ Minerals in a press release of the contract which binds it to the Congolese businessman, it is the turn of Marius Mihigo to denounce the false and defamatory declarations of the journalist Tom Richardson and of the Financial Review media on an unproven “corruption” never demonstrated by them.
You should know that the Congolese businessman, Mr. Marius Mihigo is not his first experience with AVZ Minerals in facilitating negotiations in the mining and other fields, in many countries. Even more than obtaining the exploration permit granted by the Congolese State to AVZ Minerals after feasibility studies financed by the Australians, but politically blocked, is the result of strategic work and expertise of Mr. Marius Mihigo .
