Completely different country.
I'm an idiot - deleted. Thought Republic of Congo was Democratic Republic. (Usually when I see it referred to it's just 'Congo')

Not sure if you're aware, Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo are different.

Ah yes, little more than the usual Chinese window dressing and virtue-signalling by a subsidiary of Zijin Mining whose environmental track record is a pattern of neglect and indifference. When Zijin talks about sustainability in its reports, it actually means sustainability of profits regardless of the damage caused by its operations.

Building a couple of schools does not absolve that odious company of its environmental and social obligations.

Hold my beer.

They mean two new Confucius institutes teaching Xi Thought.
That curriculum may need to be revised soon. Word is that Xi is on the way out...

Are you basing this simply on the peace deal and minerals for security deal proposed timing or are you aware of some additional information?
Just a sneaky suspicion

Just received an email from DRC battery metals forum asking my own company to sponsor them 🤣

Making it sound again like it’s done.

We are writing to you from the DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum, taking place from September 29-30, 2025, in Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo. As you may be aware from the recent news regarding KoBold Metals' significant investment in the Manono lithium project, the DRC is rapidly solidifying its position as a global epicentre for critical battery metals.
DRC: The Powerhouse Fueling the Global Energy Revolution

The Democratic Republic of Congo holds approximately 70% of the world's cobalt reserves and significant copper deposits, with emerging lithium potential gaining global attention. The recent acquisition by KoBold Metals, backed by visionary investors like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, underscores the immense, strategic importance of the DRC in securing the future of the global energy transition.

This investment signals a clear intent to accelerate the development of these vital resources and bring them to Western markets!

Heard there's a few things happening....further negotiations etc

Peace deals and minerals/security clearly right at the top of all of those but obviously the $ matter as well to all parties

It's right at the pointy end IMO

With so much at stake there's enormous amounts of FUD and misinformation floating about

Nothing like you've might ever have seen...

The BOD and Nigel are absolutely the best source of information right here, right now IMO

I am optimistic and hopeful that the right, legal and fair agreement is eventually negotiated and delivered

Before he does exit the stage, I’m tipping that he’ll go down swinging with one those good ol’ fashioned purges (with Chinese characteristics)

Is there alternatives? The fb group has one bloke who posts good stuff but can’t comment on the rest of the weirdos on it. It gets weird there.
