#RDC #Mining Of the 27 million USD received from a contract, the Chinese of a subcontractor company only handed over 680,000 FC to their Congolese co-shareholder
The Chinese are satanist devil sorcerers in the Congolese mines. They cheat in all the mines starting with Sicomines then TFM and others.

CATL hails new era of superfast charging with Shenxing LFP battery
Posted by Paul Moore on 21st August 2023
On August 16, Chinese battery technology and critical minerals major CATL launched Shenxing, the world’s first 4C superfast charging LFP battery, capable of delivering 400 km of driving range with a 10-minute charge as well as a range of over 700 km on a single full charge. Shenxing it says “is expected to considerably alleviate fast charging anxiety for EV users, and opens up an era of EV superfast charging.”
The company stated in full: “With the advancement of battery technology and the significant improvement of overall performance of EV batteries, the industry has achieved long driving range for EVs. Currently fast charging anxiety has become the top factor that stops consumers from shifting to EVs. Focusing on the very nature of electrochemistry, CATL continues its innovation in material and electrochemistry and system structure in an all-round way, achieving superfast charging, high energy density and high level of safety at the same time in a creative manner. Shenxing pushes beyond the boundaries of the performance of LFP chemistry, leading innovation in the battery industry.”
While clearly aimed for now at the automotive industry, it also has great significance for mining fleets as well. CATL says Shenxing “leverages the super electronic network cathode technology and fully nano-crystallised LFP cathode material to create a super-electronic network, which facilitates the extraction of lithium ions and the rapid response to charging signals.”
For graphite innovation, CATL’s latest second-generation fast ion ring technology is used to modify the properties of graphite surface, which increases intercalation channels and shortens the intercalation distance for lithium ions, “creating an expressway for current conduction. Furthermore, a multi-gradient layered electrode design has been developed to strike a perfect balance between fast charging and long range.”
CATL says it has also developed a brand-new superconducting electrolyte formula, which effectively reduces the viscosity of the electrolyte, resulting in improved conductivity. In addition, CATL has improved the ultra-thin SEI film to reduce resistance of lithium-ion movement. CATL also lowered the transmission resistance of lithium ions with high porosity and shortened average transmission distance.
In addition to achieving 4C superfast charging, CATL says Shenxing also achieves a long driving range, fast charging over a wide range of temperatures and a high level of safety through structure innovation and leveraging intelligent algorithms. “CATL has developed a trailblazing all-in-one grouping technology on top of the integration of the internal crossbeam and end plates featured in its CTP 3.0 technology, achieving high integration and high grouping efficiency. It enables Shenxing to reach a range of over 700 km, breaking the limits of the performance of LFP chemistry.”
At room temperature, Shenxing can charge to 80% SOC in 10 minutes. Meanwhile, CATL leverages cell temperature control technology on system platforms to ensure that cells heat up to the optimal operating temperature range rapidly, allowing a 0-80% charge in just 30 minutes in temperature as low as -10°C, and uncompromised 0-100 km/h acceleration performance at low temperatures.
The upgraded electrolyte and the separator with a highly safe coating are used to provide a dual protection of the Shenxing battery. By regulating the global temperature field inside the cells using intelligent algorithms, CATL has built a real-time fault testing system that can solve the problems brought about by fast charging, enabling a high level of safety for the Shenxing battery.
“The future of the EV battery technology must remain steadfastly anchored at the global technology frontier as well as the economic benefits,” said Dr Wu Kai, Chief Scientist of CATL, speaking at the launch event. “As EV consumers shift from pioneering users to ordinary users, we should make advanced technology accessible for all and enable everyone to savor the fruits of innovation.”
Thanks to its strengths in extreme manufacturing, CATL says it has achieved the ability to rapidly transfer technology from lab to market, enabling rapid mass production of the Shenxing battery. According to Gao Huan, CTO of CATL’s China E-car Business, mass production of Shenxing will be achieved by the end of 2023, and electric vehicles equipped with Shenxing will be available on the market in the first quarter of 2024.
It concludes: “The launch of Shenxing marks another milestone in the development of EV battery technology, and will accelerate the comprehensive e-mobility transition worldwide. In the future, adhering to the philosophy of making technology accessible for everyone, CATL will continue to promote the wide adoption of advanced technologies, making outstanding contributions to global energy transition.”

Wonder if CATH will still be in the fold after this purported shake up? I very much hope so.
We need some Chinese firepower involved to assuage Zijin and those pricks from trying to delay us at every stage SHOULD avz go mining (or at least pretend to).

Why would they not have spoken up in defence of AVZ at some stage during this assault by Zijin and other corrupt scum? Each way bet win-win result for CATH regardless if Zijin got a slice or not. I hope the put their shoulder to the wheel to push things along when all the ownership and ML issues are sorted
Geez Franck, tell it like it is!

Actually not a bad point Dazza, could do without their ownership and they can have the spod OT's
Just feel we need some sort of chinese firepower that's friendly and willing to accept a small % ownership - might be crazy

You don't want the Chinese anywhere near a board seat on Dathcom or AVZ and that includes CATH.
If you are Chinese, all roads lead to Beijing - there is no such thing as Good Cop/Bad Cop - its just the CCP.
I am thinking that the Japanese/Americans would make better partners.
Just a thought bubble.

Communication
On August 15, 2023, an AVZ Minerals delegation made a courtesy visit to the headquarters of the Mining Cadastre, where it was warmly received by the Director General, Mr. Paul Mabolia and the Deputy Director General, Mr. Jacques Muyumba.
This visit had a double objective. First of all, it aimed to present the civilities of AVZ Minerals to the newly installed management committee and simultaneously, to discuss the social and economic benefits for the DRC of the Lithium exploitation project in the Manono by the company DATHCOM. The AVZ Minerals delegation was composed of Mr. Nigel Ferguson, CEO of the company AVZ Minerals, Mr. Landry Me
This meeting was of particular importance, especially since it marks the resumption of working sessions between the Minerary Cadastre and AVZ Minerals Ltd on the above-mentioned project.
For its part, DG CAMI, Mr. Paul Mabolia, was fully satisfied with this initiative and expressed his enthusiasm for the prospects for future collaboration. He also expressed his willingness to get personally involved, under the supervision of the Ministry of Mines, to ensure the success of the Manono project.
As a reminder, this project is of paramount importance, because it has the potential to transform the entire Greater Katanga region through the exploitation of lithium, a highly coveted ore. AVZ Minerals Ltd's unwavering commitment to the realization of this project is harmoniously combined with the vision of the Head of State, His Excellency Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, as well as with the senior management of the mining cadastre. This courtesy visit strengthens existing ties and lays the foundations for fruitful collaboration, aimed at achieving the ambitious objectives of the Manono project.
For any request for additional information, please contact the Communication Department of the Mining Cadastre:

I agree mostly with this thought bubble SilentOne,
However, it's more a trivial quibble on semantics where I would posit that CATH have in fact been playing good cop, where they have offered a fair enough deal in the 24% purchase without the usual Chinese shitfuckery, they have publicly stood by us by honouring this deal via 247 thousand extensions. Thereby fulfilling their role.
I certainly agree that all roads lead to CCP, Zijin being the main state player was allowed to proceed via their preferred method known as to 'ratfuck' their way in via bribes and criminal activity. The CCP's second option is plan B (CATH) if for some unknown reason DRC finds its soul/conscience.
The deposit is far too large and globally significant for only one method/plan for the Chinese, enter CATH, hence also Simon Cong via Dathomir also buzzing around and known sympathisers/beneficiaries like Klaus becoming involved again.
Definitely agree with the Japanese or Americans. That would be a dream, or would it?
It would certainly give the Chinese more reason to continue their high calibre shitfuckery, we could end up with port authorities bribed meaning huge delays on parts, plants, machinery. Bribery of police, governors, local magistrates, employing of looters meaning missing materials, burnt out machinery. These guys are professional fuckwits, would it be easier to just have CATH (the lessor evil) on board (but obviously in a lower capacity not on BOD)
Well, got to the end and have an overwhelming feeling I've just committed an offence of brain diarrhoea!

Hmm you've just made me realise a possability from what I've heard.
So I'll throw out another specualtion of mine.
Deal with CATH altered for less ownership %, and they pre-pay us for offtakes instead.
Just speculating

It would be deviously pleasurable to see us partner with all non chinese entities, then watch them BEG for off-takes for the best SPOD in the world, as supply dries up.I agree mostly with this thought bubble SilentOne,

What are you calling for exactly anyway Mr?
You said just "news" but gee that could be anything.
Are you talking Licenece or perhaps a step before that?

Hardrock miners would want lithium ternary batteries to be the main chemistry not LFP. My understanding is Brine goes to carbonate goes into LFP, spod gets concentrate and processed into hydroxide which goes into ternary chemistries. Hydroxide can be converted to carbonate but its an extra step.

I think you should stop speculating Az
Pre payments for offtakes results in money not being paid for the offtakes when the mine is operating and money is required for OPEX, maintenance, mine expansions, returns to investors etc.
It results in capital raising via share dilution or more debt and there will already be enough of that involved in building the mine.
China’s slowing economic growth and other factors mean lower prices offered now compared to later when demand - supply is supposed to shift in favour of higher prices
Truth is I am getting really fucken sick of reading all the bullshit on here lately
