then there's no chance it's anything except a paid for piece of bullshit propaganda with a lovely dash of photoshop and a few neat signature scans most likely garnered through the judicious application of brown paper bags at the behest of our most favourite collection of bad actors and corrupt fuckwits

Contrary to what Nathanaël Huri announced in his pamphlet:

KoBolds Metals and Rio Tinto have informed the management of @cominiereSA
that they are aware of all the corruption scandals affecting @AvzMinerals
to date (Communications Department/COMINIERE SA)



And yet the official US stance has made it abundantly clear that any agreement will involve direct engagement with the DRC government, rather than dealing with the flea ridden thieves of Cominiere. Go figure Buanali....

US, DRC near minerals deal: report​

The United States and the Democratic Republic of Congo are discussing an agreement that would see U.S. companies take greater control of critical mineral assets in exchange for support for the Kinshasa government, the Financial Times reported.
Progress has been made on a potential deal, Massad Boulos, U.S. President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for Africa, said late last week. Boulos met with DRC President Félix Tshisekedi in Kinshasa Thursday and the pair discussed trade relations and other topics, according to a statement from the presidency.
“You heard about an agreement on minerals. We have taken note of the DRC’s proposal, and I’m happy to say that the President and I have agreed on a way forward for its development,” Boulos told reporters in Kinshasa. His comments were broadcast by Radio France Internationale.

‘Billions in investments’​

U.S. mining investments in the DRC following the signing of a minerals deal could reach several billion dollars, Boulos was quoted as saying in the Congolese presidency statement.
Security remains a key stumbling block. The DRC, the world’s largest producer of cobalt, has been rocked for several months by intense fighting between Congolese government forces and armed rebel groups such as the Rwanda-backed M23. In January, M23 seized Goma, an important logistical hub city for mining in the region.
The U.S. wants to help bring the conflict to an end, Boulos said.
“Stimulating U.S. private sector investment in the DRC, particularly in the mining sector, is a shared goal that contributes to the prosperity of both our countries. But there can be no economic prosperity without security,” Boulos said in French. “The United States remains determined to support an end to the conflict, and we are discussing the next steps with our Congolese partners.”

DFC as underwriter​

Under the outlines of the accord, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation would underwrite some of the U.S. investments in the African country, Joseph Szlavik, a Washington-based lobbyist who is advising the DRC, told the FT. U.S. businesses are expected to start by investing in the DRC’s lithium deposits, the FT said.
U.S. startup KoBold Metals is among the companies that are interested in the DRC’s massive Manono lithium deposit, the FT said. Other possible investors are New York City-based Orion Resource Partners, Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) founder Robert Friedland, U.K.-Australian miner Rio Tinto (NYSE, ASX, LSE: RIO) and Saudi Arabia’s United Mining, said people familiar with the talks. KoBold, Orion and Rio Tinto declined to comment to the FT while Friedland and United did not respond to requests for comment from the newspaper.
Richly endowed in natural resources, the DRC accounts for more than 70% of cobalt’s global output. It also holds significant reserves of gold, copper, tin, lithium and tantalum.
“We expect more multilateral agreements, including private investment and government funding, as developed nations focus on securing the supply of critical minerals for their industries,” BMO Capital Markets analyst George Heppel wrote in a note published Monday.
American negotiators have already helped to reach an agreement that led to Rwandan-backed insurgents withdrawing from an area near Alphamin Resources’ (TSXV: AFM) tin mine in eastern Congo, Szlavik told the FT. Tin prices soared to their highest level in more than two years in mid-March following Alphamin’s suspension of its Bisie mine after M23 rebels threatened the area. Alphamin is controlled by U.S.-based Denham Capital.
