The Democratic Republic of Congo has signed a framework agreement with American mining firm KoBold Metals to explore critical mineral resources. The signing took place Thursday in Kinshasa, in the presence of President Félix Tshisekedi.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has signed a framework agreement with American mining firm KoBold Metals to explore critical mineral resources across the country. The signing took place Thursday in Kinshasa, in the presence of President Félix Tshisekedi.
KoBold Metals, which is backed by billionaires Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, plans to invest more than one billion dollars in the DRC's mining sector. The company’s initial focus is the Manono lithium deposit, considered one of the largest in the world. Lithium is a key component in batteries and green energy technologies, making it highly strategic for global markets.
Beyond Manono, KoBold will launch a large-scale mineral exploration program across the country, using advanced technology to identify high-value deposits. The agreement includes plans to digitize the DRC’s geological archives, currently held at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Belgium. KoBold also intends to apply for exploration permits covering more than 1,600 square kilometers before July 31, 2025.

Where’s Zeebot 😶🌫️
I did the old ignorefest a while back.
Now I just read you guys having a rant at the fuckers.
There's worse ways to spend an hour.
We rightly call out depraved high-level corruption in the DRC, and also throw around plenty of jokes about paper bags and stuff. Calling out bullshit is good. Humor is good.
But just as a more serious take on the issue and really understanding just how pervasive corruption is and how ingrained into the normal way of doing things, this article was really insightful.
- Essentially, a young customs worker tried to do the right thing and refuse bribes, and he was killed.
We've been through shit with this saga. But I do hope that the silver lining on our stormcloud of stubbornly sticking to the rules is that it does actually create an opening for DRC to start moving towards a more accountable system that actually benefits its citizens, rather than fueling more corruption.
For me, its one of the possible benefits of a deal with KoKo. They may be playing hardball on price, but the deal will absolutely have to be squeqky clean. And with Gates backing the company there is at least some board level guidance from someone who has genuinely put his money where his mouth is to help people in Africa.

Enough of the AI shite.
All it does is regurgitate stuff from the interwebs. It doesn't know anything.
In fact, as people post the results of their AI searches,AI engines pick that up too until they disappear up their own arses.
All the AI crap posted is just making up more incorrect speculation.

AI is completely based on the crap in gives crap out principle, you can't blame AI for that.
If AI would base its considered opinion on HC alone, one have to be aware of the enormous uncontrolled volume of shrinklish excrement generated by the likes of shane, the shithouse, the shitstick and not to forget the rattlecock, the result would be absolutely laughable.
However it takes also other sources also in consideration, but people have to be aware that AI is seriously floored by the crap generated on sources like HC.
Grok and AI needs serious filters integrated in it and be able to discard the loonies, otherwise it really is not worth more than a toy, good for a laugh and not a valuable tool.
