If you want to post like it's Hotcrapper, just go over there.No it doesnt and nor is it anti-semitic to call out lies and genocide just because its done by a jew. I have some jewish blood in my myself, so cut the crap. Im calling a spade a spade, and I've only brought it up in context to others posts, so save the speech and deal with it
as opposed to what the Chinese have done to us, or the Congolese, or.....I only provide some balance when others throw their world views in, but many seem so thin skinned and take it personally
Imagine if the majority of this forom were African, Chinese or Trumpian AVZ investor lol, you guys would have half this forums posts removed by now, ppl need to lighten up
Nah not you nut it was my gimp meme.Ohhhhh......
Was it the gimp joke

Tell us More MichaelThese are just my 2 cents ... no value out of my mouth ...
At least 4 names are now known for who are trying to particpate in the Manono-jungle ... alongside official U.S. representatives aka U.S. government.
In parallel the ongoing disputes which makes it obvious in which direction the outcome will be.
In case the "Fantastic 4" are forced to speed up the discussion with DRC officials as they are in turn and a hurry to state their confidence about the M23 movements then I guess we're talking about an involvement for the RD-asset. (Keep in mind that the U.S. already helped the DRC in regards to M23 and the Alphamin Ressource in the north ... )
Everything AVZ can resist and proceed in their ICSID case will help them and the "Fantastic 4" to exceed the upcoming project when their asset is being reassigned to the origin 13359 area.
This is my view to the area where the fruits are in the ground.
Then and in parallel ... DRC stopped to sell raw material as wanted more of the fruits locally which means for our "Fantastic 4" that they have at least 2 options ...
1. Pressure for DRC is that high they will give the "Fantastic 4" a special permit to deliver raw material to e.g. the U.S. for further added value making which helps for sure Mr. MAGA. On the other side DRC is aware of this win-win situation and will get from my perspective a higher value in military support and/or in infrastructure. That is in so called short term (before ICSID decision) and finally only for RD area.
2. In the 2nd scenario, the raw material must remain in the country and be processed, which means that our “Fantastic 4” will have to think about the corresponding infrastructure on site in the medium term (without ICSID and only RD), which in my view would help the DRC much more. However, if the pressure of securing material is the main focus for Mr. MAGA, then that would also be a conceivable scenario.
Why to mention this?
This leads to the final questions to the “Fantastic 4”
- how to bring (processed/raw) material to port?
- How to get access to adequate energy?
These 2 questions are just present in my head as the group size just makes sense when there're more then just digging acctivities which are pretty easy to handle as being on surface.
So, my thinking as these "Fantastic 4” represents a kind of Dathcom 2.0 that some will focus on the energy topic, one to the transport and others to the processing/raw material ... and do not forget the Tin!
And everything above will getting even more interesting when ICSID case is closed before (hand over ML to Dathcom) or has a final outcome in favour of AVZ.
This is just my thinking ... which changes from time to time and represents a snapshot.![]()

Probably anyone with a brain
When the revenue figure of $840b (or $300b for that matter) in your post was SO far away from anyone else's expectation, was there ever a point in the thought process where you went...hang on...there might be a fundamental error in the methodology/calculation here?
