Zin32 seems to be that whole square, that's new last I checked (long ago).

The orange section PE15575 (apparently) belonging to Manono Lithium apparentlyis still the same and the purple PR13559 (apparently) belonging to cominiere is still the same

Last week my contact said there was no one in the board room as they were out trying to get the best deal for shareholders, my contact added no one was authorised to divulge their whereabouts. Then we heard later that nigel was in the US. The feeling I get is they're trying to sell the mine to the highest bidder.

Why now though?

Will be jumping for joy if we get a USA buyer.
As that also implies Minerals for Security has been accepted .

Thanks Geo, for the straight forward update.

Regarding Felix's blatant offer I've been wondering how that squares with China's deep presence and interests and whether it signals a thawing of relations. Can't imagine they'd be too chuffed about it.

Or is it a cunning trumpian plan to provoke China into providing security in the east. From memory did they once have troops on the border...dunno.

And has the same offer been made to China

Why now though?
Maybe the situation looks something like this:

The DRC has realised there's no more room to drag this out - they don’t want their dirty laundry aired on the world stage, nor do they want the mine tied up for years. Their expensive lawyers have likely told them there’s no way they come out of this looking good. However, their egos won’t allow them to backtrack and let AVZ be involved in the project after all this bad blood. So, they’ve made an offer to Nigel:

Find a serious Western buyer to take your place.

CATH keeps its stake, and they’ll issue the ML on the condition of this sale. This way, the mine operates with both Western and Chinese involvement, hedging their bets. No need for court battles, corruption gets swept under the rug, and the key players walk away with their ill-gotten gains. The DRC public remains none the wiser, and Felix gets a geopolitical win - keeping both sides happy while securing indirect US support against M23.

That’s my headcanon, anyway.
