Not sure who Brad Thompson is or where he sourced the $ 1.5 B USD figure but there certainally was nothing said confirming his source of this figure.
We have no real idea of what the " royalty " entails but for all we know the $1.5 B lowball could be to reduce tax implications to DRC with a very attractive "royalty" which could make this in fact a very good deal. Point is we really have no idea and everything for now is speculation
Suprisingly no one seems to be focussing on the meeting on Tueday of Special Envoy Boulos, Kobold chief Kurt House and the fat boy himself. To me this is the most exciting thing for sure.
It’s the same reporter that broke the original story that Trump administration wants AVZ to get paid in any deal for ManonoHe's still fairly connected to know specifically about the US rep flying to DRC and also AVZ rep.
So IMO that number would have came from somewhere. But it's still a ridiculous number that hopefully got laughed at by NF
If we are sending reps means Felix is up for it and this is not pie in the sky . April 10 anyone ? I'll go out on a limb here . This deal is baking in the oven as we speak . Maybe a sweetener to come ? Another $500mil -$Bil USD+ and the royalties . The royalties will be the kicker that brings it home . Felix needs a security deal . Manono has to be a Trump deal .IMOIt’s the same reporter that broke the original story that Trump administration wants AVZ to get paid in any deal for Manono
None of y’all were questioning his sources then lol
The 1.5b is extremely believable and on brand for KoBold. The real question is why on earth would Nigel be considering this enough to send representatives to the meeting. Would need to be the greatest royalty deal of all time, possibly ever, to get my vote.
Personally I'm not super excited about royalties
I want the cash up front and FUCK being tied to anything happening in the DRC
That fucking place is a basket case and I don't want the value inherent in my shares paid "on the drip" by royalties with the chance that those DRC cunts pull some more fucking "fun and games" and "paper bag diplomacy" potentially fucking my financial future for a second time

He's probably making sh1t up to yank our chain . Could have been Tommy's bum chum for all we know .
Or there is a civil war or war with RawandaPersonally I'm not super excited about royalties

Mates a Journo. Simply asked about weather the pricing bit was pure speculation or source based.Sounds legit. I know someone who knows someone that had a delicious steak & a nice full bodied red with Nigel.
Nigel refused to comment on the steak, apparently.

I'm sure he got it from somewhere, doesnt mean its anywhere near the final bid. likely the first bid but not the last. Nigel will have to convince his shareholders, so any bid would need to stack up and past the pub test.Mates a Journo. Simply asked about weather the pricing bit was pure speculation or source based.
I’ll preface that I don’t think I added anything valuable given that it could be the source speculating as well hahaI'm sure he got it from somewhere, doesnt mean its anywhere near the final bid. likely the first bid but not the last. Nigel will have to convince his shareholders, so any bid would need to stack up and past the pub test.
I think its difficult for those external to assess what fair value is at this point so I'm trying not to anchor to anything and obviously hoping its a good outcome. Certainly if its under a $1/$1.50, I'll be disappointed given the pain with all gone through. All that said though, I'm a motivated seller and want out, so dont want to wait for icid outcomes and the years it may take to collect the dosh, also dont want royalities.
In the end, just hoping I can get out and hoping Nigel gets us a good deal. I'm semi confident he'll stand his ground as he has over the last few years and not give into a low ball offer. There have been so many twists and turns over the last few years who knows whats ahead of us.
Fyi, Some good Shit going down the Crapper today![]()

$AVZ I have been banging on about we should not acpt below ATH of $1.36. R we forgetting the TIN? This adds big $. ? is this not being put out in social media? We have the upgraded BFS too, so let’s call it $2.50 at a min. To suggest 67c is a slap in the face!
