DRC mining: President Félix Tshisekedi expected in Washington to finalize partnership with Trump administration​

The Head of State Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo is expected to be in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, May 1, 2025, for the confirmation and finalisation of the RDC-USA partnership, after its validation by the Oval Office.

This is indicated in a statement issued by the US Department of State for African Affairs on Tuesday, April 29, which evokes a turning point in what it describes as an “agreement of the century.”

The partnership provides for the exploitation of mineral resources in the Democratic Republic of Congo in return for securing the east of the country, as well as a massive investment in infrastructure, estimated at nearly USD 500 billion over a 15-year period.

So what happened

KoBold submitted their offer to the DRC exactly one day after Trump's inauguration

The deposit “has the potential to become a large-scale, long-lived lithium mine,” KoBold Chief Legal Officer Sandy Alexander wrote in a letter to Congo President Felix Tshisekedi’s chief of staff on Jan. 21. The company “would welcome the opportunity to develop the asset,” he said.

It's interesting . Would Kobold have made an offer if Harris had won ?

I feel like half the time it’s our detractors pretending to be holders coming out with the insults.

Personal insults I get it . Negative sentiment ?

 

[Flight996]

Not a fucking chance.

Absolutely.
Those thieving troglodytes deserve every bit of vitriol and every insult we can throw at them, and then a bit more just to be safe.

The thing is, these people are have dark triad, psychopathic minds, they don't care what you think of them, they don't even care what their constituents think of them beyond how they can benefit them.

The question is then, what is there to gain from insulting or berating them? The answer is none, outside of making you feel better, there is nothing to be gained. You aren't going to make them change their ways, or the imbedded culture of corruption that enables them. Unless you have leverage over them such as the US and ISCID you are wasting your time.

Just save your energy in my opinion.

I think Jens is a bit of a blowhard and wanna-be spokesperson for AVZ shareholders which can leave a bad taste in my mouth with how he tries to tell other shareholders how they should feel/act.

Having said that, I do have respect for the often telegraphed and considered takes August has given his background and connections so willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Aug/Sept ? ICSID in full swing ? Delayed?

 

[ptlas]

Not a fucking chance.

Been there before with don't antagonise the fat bastard. Or something like that.
The thieving, robbing, lying bunch of shits are a thieving, robbing, lying bunch of shits who rape and pillage their own country.
We are still in the game partly because of the fight that AVZ and many of it's SH have put up.
LIKE TELLING THE TRUTH.
Long may it continue.
PS this is the tame version with the girls rightfully in mind.

 

[Strongman]

Aug/Sept ? ICSID in full swing ? Delayed?

Hey mate attached is a vid explaining the process. So hopefully 2 months and peace accord plus bilateral economic agreements (minerals deal) are finalised. This then opens the door for Kobold, Rio et al to proceed ( 1 or 2 months to do the deal ? ) which puts us in Aug/Sept.
The ICSID continues irrespective of the above and certainally adds some big heat to the fire
My birthday is 30 September so fingers crossed for a massive birthday present

 

[Xerof]

Aug/Sept ? ICSID in full swing ? Delayed?

I guess the Jurisdiction issue needs to be put to bed (in our favour) before the case can commence. There is no apparent indication of any delay at this stage, but (other than them trying to have the whole thing thrown out), it's another delay tactic for sure.

From a reputational perspective, DRC will be under immense pressure to get something done prior to the case commencing, but perhaps their hides are thick enough to bear the ICSID revelations, and the outline published above by @Strongman is how it will play out

DRC-Rwanda: The United States sets conditions for Kinshasa and Kigali before signing any mining agreement

The US spokesman, Mr. Boulos, asserts that before signing any mining agreement announced between the DRC and Rwanda, Kigali must withdraw its troops from Congolese soil.

The United States is not stopping there.

The Trump administration, through the US spokesman, is also calling on the Kagame regime to stop supporting the M23 rebels.

On the Congolese side, the US spokesman states on his X account that the DRC must, in turn, address Rwanda's security concerns regarding the FDLR.

This mining contract provides for the exploitation of mineral resources in the Democratic Republic of Congo in exchange for securing the eastern part of the country, as well as a massive investment in infrastructure, reportedly estimated at nearly US$500 billion over a 15-year period.

 

[Jongo]

Aug/Sep is sooner than my previous guess and I am ecstatic to finally have a possible target date. But while I am usely impulsive, this time I will not rush out and buy that Porsche in advance.

Back in 2022 I planned to start selling down my AVZ position, and sold 10% at $1.30 and used the proceeds to buy a Mercedes GLS AMG model just few weeks before the AVZ suspension. But it was too late to cancel my Mercedes order without losing my $25k deposit.

After selling the first 10% in early 2022, I was planning to sell much more that year as part of my SMSF tax strategy ... but then disaster struck.
