AVZ Discussion 2022

[SilentOne]

Wasn't that the Act that Trump paused in February??

Yes — on February 10, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14209, titled “Pausing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Enforcement to Further American Economic and National Security.” This order directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to halt all new FCPA investigations and enforcement actions for an initial 180 days.

The key word is "pause". For a more permanent outcome it would need to goto the Congress I believe.

welcome back @Doc - no TSE for 3 weeks? where do you go to avoid that?

Our money is a bit closer than 3 weeks ago, and probably some more than 3 weeks ago too

signing off to watch 2 rugby internationals

Cruise around Iceland and Norway. Great trip, thought I’d take the opportunity to detach from the AVZ saga for a bit and get some sleep!
Good to hear we may be progressing to a resolution but I don’t trust the DRC so I won’t be happy until I go to the atm and see lots of zeros on the end of my account balance.

If the gringos wanna involve Cominiere then let them have fun with that

Most important bit for us is KoBold will buy Roche Dure so that disputes are resolved

A little bit of the bubbly is imminent imo

i will believe it when i see it via AVZ communications.

And i certainly hope a deal is imminent before TRUMP disappears the way Jeffrey did.....

Sorry @Penskefile, couldnt help myself.

DOH !

I suppose if the DRC don't admit to our existence at least we won't be required to pay any local taxes. Partial win for the good guys!
Guaranteed these slime balls want their cake and eat it. P

Agreed, we should be now completing construction of the largest lithium mine on the planet, and preparing for the next lithium bull run, not paying them (the proven grubs) for attempting to steal it back and illegally flogging it off for a second time, what a pack of clowns thinking we wont drag them all through the courts kicking and screeming, while stupidly protesting their innocense, pay up or else, and shove your tax up your a...

The United States welcomes the signing of a Declaration of Principles between the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and representatives of Congo River Alliance/March 23 Movement, facilitated by the State of Qatar, and observed by the United States. We commend the Parties for taking this meaningful step toward advancing lasting peace and stability in the Great Lakes region.


We express our sincere gratitude to the State of Qatar for its critical role in facilitating this process. Qatar’s leadership and dedication to fostering dialogue between the DRC and M23 have been instrumental in supporting a peaceful resolution to the conflict.


This achievement builds upon the Peace Agreement signed between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda on June 27, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and complements the broader efforts to advance durable peace and prosperity in the region.


The United States encourages the parties to uphold their commitments under the Declaration of Principles and continue discussions required to reach a full peace agreement. The United States remains committed to driving progress toward a peace in eastern DRC that results in the restoration of DRC authority and inclusive governance that allows for the people of the region to return home and realize a more prosperous future.
