And even if we win the Zinin jurisdictional challenge, as seems likely, that's not going to stop Zijin's efforts to make their hold over at least the disputed northern tenement a ground reality. That was foreshadowed by their promise in the latest media release to move at 'Zijin Speed'.Zijin case should be over soon if dismissal is granted or AVZ win jurisdictional challenge. If not then we are just getting started.
Dathomir decision can be 'reasonably expected' around September 2024 according to official announcements
Cominiere case was brought by AVZ 5 months after Dathomir case and we haven't even begun the actual hearings we've just had the emergency orders given to maintain the status quo. I'll let you do the math on when that one will end IF no bullshit delays by Cominiere which are absolutely certain to happen.
They'll no doubt continue to ignore the latest injunction, probably promising to cover the Cominiere fines (which in the end amount to chicken feed for Zijin), whilst rushing ahead to cement their claim on that ground and probably the power plant also over the next year or so that it'll probably take to reach a final award in our Cominiere case. Not hard to see this strategy playing out. Of course it still might just end up with them still having to hand it back after all this litigation is unravelled, but holding and working the ground will provide some advantages. At the very least in the propaganda delivery to the DRC government, who will still ultimately need to enforce any ICC/ICSID decisions.
