So what do make of the "appropriately compensated" statement ? Or the $1.5Bill + Royalties leak? Does the US/West already have enough info to know how the ICSID will pan out ? Would DLA Piper brief them on case details ? Is the ICSID time frame and subsequent Valuation worth the the journey ? Would AVZ's Court victories so far, along with the DRC's attempts to avoid the ICSID (unpaid fees /objection to Jurisdiction) be noted ? Add to all that the DRC Ministers/Officials /Presidents being exposed ? I have my doubts the US/DRC need to wait for an ICSID verdict . IMO

I think since the purported low ball offer got rejected they will wait and see what appropriate compensation means and then potentially offer something more substantial.
Just my thoughts, I look forward to ICSID putting the squeeze on. It doesn't seem like DRC give a fuck about it but it will potentially give us a way to claw back some money off the grubs.
I've got nfi what will happen but going by what hasn't happened so far I'm not holding my breath for a deal in the short term.

I could be missing some reference or joke here, if so, sucks to be me...
but perhaps some investors have been misled as to what kind of compensation or sale price we might end up with.
When I think of the calls for $12 and so on, I know it's being said with bravado... but perhaps other investors have been believing these claims to have some merit.
My ear isn't as close to the ground as some, but I doubt we will get even $2.
I think we will be fortunate if it's above $1, and even then still not getting a CGT discount, nor a cost base tax reduction.
It's completely pointless to quote what Manono is worth, when demanding what we should get paid.
Shareholders should be aware of one thing only when it comes to any sort of payout.
And that thing is simply... What can we get for it?
A thing is only valued at what anyone is willing to pay for it.
And while ISCID is on our side, to go full nut down that avenue means years of turmoil and expense, for a completely unknown payout likely 10 years from now. if at all
There is no bravado or leverage in claiming "FULL VALUE OR FULL ISCID ROUTE!!! [FLEX]"
Going full ISCID is a fucking disaster.
I fully trust the BOD to deliver the best value we can possibly get, whether that's a few cents per share, or a few dollars per share.
These claims of "$X or else FULL ISCID" are pure fantasy.
I don't mean to burst anyones bubble, truly I don't.
I just want everyone to be realistic.
*IMHO*

Direct negotiations between Kinshasa and Kigali: what are the interests of the mediating countries?
While foreign powers are seeking to mediate the crisis in eastern DRC, this assistance is not without its rewards.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, as the AFC-M23 rebels advance in the provinces of South and North Kivu, whose two capitals they already control, foreign powers are attempting to assist in the search for peace through mediation. But their involvement is not without its rewards.
Each of these states is involved for its own specific interests.
The United States, for example, seeks stability in Central Africa to prevent the arrival of additional migrants on its soil and counter the spread of terrorism.
But Washington is also interested in managing the strategic natural resources that the DRC abounds in.
Jacob Kerstan, director of the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Kinshasa, believes that "it is quite clear that the United States hopes to gain access to minerals from both sides.
Mr. Boulos was the first to visit Kinshasa after his appointment. And I believe people in Washington attach great importance to this.
Following the logic of Trump and his administration, Trump acts and reacts in this way."
Investment Protection
As for China, which promotes peace and respect for the sovereignty of countries, it would not want to see the conflict spread to the Katanga region, where it has made significant investments in the mining sector, as explained by Christian Géraud Neema, China-Africa expert and editor of the China Global South Project.
He notes that "its involvement goes beyond a desire for peace in the region, but also reflects a desire to see the country stabilized so that the instability in eastern DRC does not spill over into the Katanga region. This explains Beijing's desire to see a peaceful and rapid solution."
Qatar's participation reinforces its status as an internationally renowned negotiator. But its main interest lies in preserving a security climate conducive to conducting business in the Great Lakes region.
According to researcher Ithiel Batumike of the Ebuteli Institute for Research on Politics, Governance and Violence, "We know that Qatar has interests, particularly in Rwanda, where it is already a shareholder in the Rwandan aviation company and in the construction of the international airport there, which is costing billions of dollars.
Peace in the region would benefit its business. Qatar does not have bad relations with Congo."
Félix Tshisekedi denounces media manipulation
Meanwhile, President Félix Tshisekedi is denouncing what he calls media manipulation surrounding the DRC-US partnership on critical minerals.
On Monday, he ruled out any sell-off of his country's resources.
The president asserts that "these allegations are naturally unfounded, but often stem from orchestrated campaigns to weaken our economic sovereignty and undermine our country's strategic repositioning efforts on the world stage.
I want to solemnly reaffirm before you what I have always stood for. Never, ever, would I sell-off the resources of the Democratic Republic of Congo."
But during the discussions in Washington, many foreign mining giants are already showing interest in the DRC's minerals.

AVZ vs DRC @ ICSID - Final Countdown
Countdown to the ICSID tribunal of AVZ vs DRC (Congolese).

Why don't you just let the BOD sort things out?
They do have more knowledge about what is going on than you pretend to have.
Where did you derive your fucking knowledge? Reading the toilet paper roll while having a crap?
Sorry to be so cruel, but while you had your ear close to the ground did a steam roller just went over your noggin?
FFS, you blow more smoke out of your arse than Mount Agung on a good day.
Never have seen so much crap, did you eat magic mushrooms?

Lol, ok rage machine...
But didn't I literally just state that only the BoD will sort out the price and that I trust them to get the best price?
Soooo your post is complete drool then isnt it?
Cruiser why don't you entertain us a more realistic price, (in your no doubt, more educated opinion) and in the end we can come back here to see how we both fared in our estimation.

I've probably overstepped in my previous response.
Are you an investor who has believed all the posts about $10 and the $12 Zijin tax people?
Your anger at my post might be proving my point.
