AVZ Discussion 2022

[The Fox]

Hi TC,

Jens has been around more or less since the beginning of AVZ. I believe he still has a largish holding (around the 8mill mark), but once was a top 20 holder.

Right from the start of when the shit hit the fan eleven or so months ago, he has been fighting for us on twitter nearly every day.

I understand that he does speak to most of the directors and he does have a number of other connections to do with the project.

Did he get the order from one of the management to 'to ease up a bit' for a week, I very highly doubt it!

In my opinion, I think we need to cut him a bit of slack. He wants this to move forward as much as anybody else!

Take the above as you will.

Have a great day everyone,

Cheers,

Hey Nells,

Re: Did he get the order from one of the management to 'to ease up a bit' for a week, I very highly doubt it!

Yes he did 100%

Hey, I'm not wearing rose coloured glasses nor am I a huge fan of Jens, yet, I can confirm my comment above is true.

Love you long time, The Fox

PS. There was talk a while back of some flashing, is that still on?

Shernoz, I know you are only joking mate but considering the state of things this week you may want to reconsider that post.

Fuck me Spike even the ads are coming up with pineapples

Wish we were talking whales instead of pineapples by now

When you are on site you work with something from #chinois here is the result

*What do you do when working with something from China doesn't work

Or, More importantly, What does the DRC do with this damning report

I think we all know what the Chinese will say

Chinese contract: what are the conclusions of the IGF?

So we have all these rumours of messages from management to tone it down this week to twitter accounts and secondary players passing it on to us.......the great unwashed shareholders..

Yeah.....right....

Those of us who have pumped in our hard earned cash to progress AVZ and Manono

God forbid the company might address the shareholders responsibly, appropriately and directly through some sort of official communication

Surely if the BoD's were smart enough you could do that without giving the "whole fucking game away to the enemy"

C'mon

So we've been sold/told this week there's "something" happening and we need to shut the fuck up

I've ridden it this far I'll ride it for another week....

If the goss proves to be bullshit (again) will it be time to call gloves off?

I continue to wait for something official from the company ....10 months is a fucking long time

I can’t get English subtitles to work and understanding of French is really limited. That is Marius Mihigo discussing avz. If anyone can give a summary of what he had to say would be appreciated. Thanks

Not sure if Cybelle is paraphrasing the interview or just presenting a view

Need a translation of the interview

A different translation:
The interests of the country were sold out by some of our officials for the benefit of #Zijin. His Excellency Mr. PR05 @fatshii13, the mine discovered in Manono rightfully belongs to $AVZ.

With much thanks to Keaton on twitter. Are you here too mate?

So, Marius spends most of the time defending his package, then states quite clearly that the decree of late was to reinstate a single tenement, then goes on to say Felix should be now convinced to go with AVZ

As previously mentioned 'a lot happening this week'

Agree with @The Fox comment re source of 'ease off' request

“then goes on to say Felix should be now convinced to go with AVZ”

FFS is there any law in this country, is there and mining code, why would Felix need to be convinced.

Mate I’m with you, but I’m very sure that nothing will get to the desk of some government guy.
Twitter is different, a lot congolese are registered there and I don’t believe anyone of them is registered on the tse.

But I edited it for the common good, maybe it exist a 0,000001% they will use it. I can not 100% knowing.

But if I don’t get any information what the hell is going on until the end of march, I’m fucking going crazy!

Good on you mate. I think you did the right thing. Not just by us but by all the women of the world. And on International Women's Day no less.

There’s a lot of info in this link about the Chinese and infrastructure Spike…. Not sure if it will help but it does provide more facts relating to the Chinese ripping off the DRC. I just edited a small part of it here as it’s a fair bit of reading


SICOMINES: the CREFDL unveils the list of infrastructures out of the US$824.5 million, the revised list of 2010 cannot be found
By Kiki Kienge

"CREFDL notes that the budgets for these infrastructure projects are irrational and lack credibility. ”

After the report of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) on the contract of the century between the DR Congo and the Chinese consortium (GEC), SICOMINES, the Congolese political world, the administrations linked to this contract and even the Chinese Embassy in DR Congo found themselves in a storm, looking for how to better respond, but above all to whom to unload the weight of the "

The Centre for Research in Public Finance and Local Development (CREFDL) has just published figures and achievements from 2008 to 2018, highlighting the revision of the infrastructure carried out following pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

COMMUNIQUE N°004/CREFDL/DG.MV/2023
Chinese contract: the 40 infrastructures, which cost $824.5 million.

After analysis, CREFDL congratulates the IGM for this important work, which contributes to the improvement of public finance governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

After cross-checking this information, CREFDL finds that the budgets for these infrastructure projects are irrational and lack credibility.

We also have doubts about the effectiveness of the implementation of the work on the works declared by the Congolese Great Works Agency (ACGT) and the quality of the infrastructure delivered to the Government.

So recommend to the Government:

1) To postpone negotiations on the use of a probable disbursement of US$500 million announced by the Chinese side.

2) To the higher supervisory bodies, including the General Inspectorate of Finance and the Court of Auditors: to begin the audit of the list of 40 infrastructures as soon as possible
