Trump doesnt seem to be having much success on his big deals so far, namely:
so maybe progress is being made behind closed doors but I get the sense the us administration are having a bit of a wakeup call that its not so easy to bully foreign nations.
- hostages in gaza - no progress
- urkaine war - now threatening to pull out us out of process and leave it to them to fight it out
- tariffs - xi not caving in or calling trump, absolutely chaos for trade worldwide
I raise this as I wonder where this puts the african/drc deal. On one hand he'll be desperate for some wins, so thats positive, on the other hand so far he's shown he's losing on the foreign policy front and given drc is complex, maybe its beyond him to get something done. I'm certainly glad he's involved as its generally the first sign of hope for avz shareholders for a while but I have my fears its beyond the current administration to get a deal done. time will tell and I'm hoping a lot, desperate in fact for a positive outcome but so far all I see out of him is chaos and failure.
In all of the above cases, they have an established military capability.
In the case of Gaza, there is also multigenerational religious fervour and conviction.
A believe Felix should (or is) actually be fearful of his life regarding a coup or retribution should M23 rebels continue to press on.
That shoul be a powerful motivator.
Quite sure DLA's fees won't amount to $20M....Does anyone know what our current cash position is? A bulk of the Pei cash would have gone to DLA, and now that we are sided with the US, I reckon there is no chance of getting the second $10m from Pei. Does Nigel have enough cash to see ICSID through to the end if required? Has anyone asked? It got me thinking as to why DRC are loading up ICSID with jurisdiction garbage with 3 submissions in 3 weeks. Chinese pushing DRC to try the time wasting/bankrupt angle again? I hope Nigel has a contingency and doesn’t put all his hope on this US deal, as we don’t want to rely on another Pei style Hail Mary to save us from going under. Lastly, now with all this global exposure with Kobold/Rio talk, does that make our access to funding easier (if needed)?
Not sure where $20m came from? I recall Pei paying $10m, which is $15m AUD.Quite sure DLA's fees won't amount to $20M....
You can settle down I reckon
Mr Pei doesn't care what side......he wants the best monetary and lithium outcome he can get....and that's sticking with AVZ
How fearful can you be when you can just jump on the Presidential Jet and land somewhere friendly? Unless of course, along with the billions, some states can confiscate the transport as well. But that would be a diplomatic minefield I imagine..
Yeah right. Kabila smells blood and is positioning to seize power is more like it.And now Joseph Kabila, Tshisekedi's predecessor, announces his return from exile to the Congo to "support the search for a solution."

There's a theory that crop circles are caused by alien spacecraft.
My theory is that they are done by cereal killers.
