Alright guys and girls (and of course all the rest). It's been a minute but I've had this one in the back of my head for a while. Only today did I manage to sit down and really pare it down to its simplest form. Not a blockbuster, I admit but I think it should be good for use in conjunction with the rest in this series.

And just as a reminder, the reason I make these so brief and snappy is because we can never assume people will click on out post to reveal any multiple images or documents. In most cases they wont.

And the reason I do them in both French and English is for a case by case basis around the same reason. If we are targeting a Francophone's feed then you can bet your bottom dollar they will not bother clicking to translate to hear what some annoying cunt like us is banging on about. They just wont. To me that is time and effort wasted. That's why I make my posts in English and French as singular images or statements which can be pretty much read even as you are scrolling past. Doesn't guarantee a read but has a better chance at least of hitting a few targets.

Go forth. Do your worst.

Sensational Spike!!!! @JAG I've added in an image you can use above too if you can. I has a bit of bleed around it because twitter always crops a bit.

Apologies if already posted

QUESTION: Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Tammy. So today I was watching the briefing with Special Senior Advisor of President Trump Mr. Massad Boulos. He just returned from peace trip to Africa.

MS BRUCE: Yes.

QUESTION: He visit DRC.

MS BRUCE: Yes, he did.

QUESTION: And he shared some of the meetings that he had with some presidents in this region. So I want to hear from you. He mentioned about discussion of these mineral deals between United States and DRC. But the main purpose of – of the main interesting of the DRC is the peace that they are looking for in the region.

MS BRUCE: Yes, of course. It’s what we all want everywhere.

QUESTION: So can you share with us how confident Trump’s Administration is that this time finally there will be peace for Congolese people? Because until today, there is people dying in the region.

MS BRUCE: Well, that’s – he’s a – the President is obviously a confident man. He has an apparatus at his hands that he can try to make things work, and he’s confident enough to – he’s a great dealmaker. He’s accessible; he’s transparent. So in general what he does, he’s confident.

But I can tell people a little bit about this dynamic, and I like that you asked, because a lot of people don’t ask about Africa in certain senses, and certainly the DRC. But Senior Advisor Boulos – for those of you who don’t know, B-o-u-l-o-s – he traveled along with the Deputy Secretary for State of African Affairs Sanders, traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo – of the Congo, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda this month to meet with heads of state and business leaders to advance efforts for a durable peace in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and to promote U.S. private sector investment in the region.

Economic prosperity will not happen without security. We reiterate that there is no military solution to the crisis in the eastern DRC. We want to see a lasting peace in that region, which lays the foundation for a thriving regional economy. And regarding the mineral deal specifically, he met with the president there, Tshisekedi.

QUESTION: Tshisekedi, yes.

MS BRUCE: Okay. Our countries are working on a minerals agreement that will boost U.S. investment in the DRC’s mining sector. And our DRC partners have pledged to facilitate an efficient, transparent, and effective business environment to strengthen our cooperation in this sector and attract U.S. investment that creates jobs and prosperity. We expect that this partnership will involve not only our governments but a range of private sector partners. We are in the process of determining next steps and will have more to announce in the near future.

And as we’ve said when it comes to financial investment funds or otherwise is that when a country has the United States as a partner and private American companies invested in the region, not only is it about jobs and hope for the future, but it also is a signal to the region that there is more strength for that nation.

QUESTION: So he also comment that the United States will fully – I mean, the Trump Administration will fully support the Lobito Corridor project.

MS BRUCE: (Inaudible) yes.

QUESTION: Can you share with us? Because he mentioned also he’s planning to travel to Angola.

MS BRUCE: Well, it’s – I can’t speak on what the – what their president said or what President Trump –

QUESTION: No, he mentioned President – I mean, this administration will fully support –

MS BRUCE: Oh, I’m sure he said that. I don’t doubt that he said that. I’m not a party to what President Trump may or his advisors or envoys may have said or not said. So he said that. It’s not something that I certainly can remark on or confirm.

Thanks for posting the transcript from Tammy Bruce's pressor because listening to her is excruciating. Why Trump picked this gun-toting lesbian and former Fox presenter is beyond me.

Bruce ain't no whip-smart Caroline Levitt but more in the mould of Biden's black spokesperson who was always unprepared, talked in circles and said nothing.

Rant over.

I suppose this isn't a bad thing

Just frustrating waiting around for it to all happen

What’s really doing my head in is not knowing whether we’re looking at a short-term outcome or years of slogging through courts and endless battles yet to come.

If I had some certainty either way, I think I could make my peace with it. It’s the not knowing limbo that’s messing with me the most right now.

This has definitely been the quietest 3-4 weeks ever …. No news since the Kobold /Trump news ….. like watching paint dry. Tic Toc 39 days or will it be 39 weeks/months.

Hopefully the timer is still at 39 days and that the latest effort by DRC/Zijin's lawyers to slice off the jurisdiction angle doesn't throw that timeline out!

Mute, I suspect the vast majority of AVZ investors get where you are coming from, and more than likely feel exactly the same way you do.
Many of us thought this was going to be sorted a year ago, then possibly by the end of 2024, and then maybe the 2nd week of April, now sometime in the future...... well I'm waiting on the throw away line to be used..... "how longs a piece of string" to also be thrown into the mix.
My sympathies go out to anyone who took on any debts during this period (It did cross my mind at one point, hwevr, decided concrete boots arent my thing ) in the belief that this shit show would have ended by now.
There's always a downside to being an optimist, leason learnt.
Good luck to all.

It’s clearly not as popular as whispers and winks but this is exactly why I’ve maintained realism based on facts (eg reading the procedural rules at the ICSID rather than just saying 3 months based on a hunch or giving random dates based off a cryptic message from a mate lol) throughout this process

I’ve said for a very long time now that constant disappointment from baseless timelines not eventuating is the biggest threat to the company and that hasn’t changed

You’ll be better off mentally preparing for the worst of needing to go beyond 2030 for enforcement but hoping for the best of a deal with the gringos being done somewhat imminently imo

Police in Malawi have been asked to investigate potential links between a giant Chinese rare earths player and a group of men accused of illegally taking geological samples and collecting other data at a mining project controlled by Perth-based Lindian Resources.
Analysis of GPS devices seized from two Chinese nationals and their local guides has added weight to allegations they were targeting valuable rare earths deposits Lindian aims to bring into production next year.

Sources close to the case said the GPS data showed the Chinese pair, who were accompanied by two Malawian geologists, were not on Lindian’s lease by mistake when they were detained and charged with criminal trespass.
