Where is the BIG DEAL...!>>???
Just like the LOCKE DEAL all just -iss and WIND ...imo
Reading more into it though:First line says it all:
"KoBold Metals tells Congo to sort AVZ Minerals stoush after winning rights to hunt for lithium"
I read... " Issue AVZ the MINING LICENCE!!!"
The CATL event isn’t just based on award of a mining license to Dathcom by the DRC government, there’s also the required signing of a (CDA) collaboration development agreement & other associated terms which they didn’t expand on ; but the CDA contains subjects such asBut license triggers CATH event?!
Reading more into it though:
Koko knows they have to massively up their offer, and they want to, but the only way they can justify that is if the shitfukery is resolved and AVZ has a license.
I use to think they'd try and find a way to do these things simultaneously, but it seems like DRC needs to take the first step.
Lets see how that goes.
So we ALL support MAGA ...omgChina will not/cannot offer the protection from M23 & Rwanda that the DRC so urgently need - the protection Felix was so desperate for when he first went cap in hand to the Don.
The DRC’s new reality is one way or another, Roche Dure will end up in US or US-aligned hands. The US are 3 parts through concluding the ‘security’ aspect of the minerals for security deal - all hell will rain down on Felix if he plays silly buggers & welches on the ‘minerals’ aspect of the deal (Roche Dure being the obvious first cab off the rank & pivotal to control of world lithium supply).
@JNRB, I agree with your thinking that the Roche Dure transfer should now be a simple fix. The DRC’s Sergeant Schultz approach to Zijin’s ‘Hand of God’ acquisition & nek minute exploitation of the CDL tenement tells me that red tape in the DRC is not an issue if the situation demands it.
With so many billions sitting on the sidelines while we await the inevitable outcome, the dragging out of the solution is agonising - Kobold want Roche Dure, Felix wants them to have it, AVZ want Kobold to have it, but the asset transfer is being held up for the sake of (in the scheme of things) a measly few billion dollars. Whoever needs to chip in - Zijin/Kobold/Rio/US govt/DRC (in-kind favours to US) - just get the fair cash settlement to AVZ together & get it done already! AVZ walks, DRC & someone else get rich together, embarrassment at ICC/ICSID goes away. Sure, DRC’s reputation is historically shot as far as investors ploughing big money into the place goes, but there’s a big big win to be had by someone here that has turned rolled gold now the Don is on the scene. Kobold demanding Felix now resolve the AVZ problem, when the problem can seemingly be sorted yesterday with a US$3-10billion AVZ payout, has the whiff of Kobold running out of ways to scrape together the proper coin needed.
As an aside, Xi’s world plan to take the big dog mantle from the US hinges on the geopolitical influence they can swing from belt & road/resource dominance - China has been eerily silent while the Don walks all over them in the DRC.

Noted, sorry everyone.Hey, cobber, please don’t quote IT in responses to his crap posts, it leaves a shitstain on the page
TIA
Hi Obe great post . As usual the devil is in the detail. I like most others assume that the issuing of the mining licence automatically triggers the CATL deal but as you pointed out that is not necessarily the caseThe CATL event isn’t just based on award of a mining license to Dathcom by the DRC government, there’s also the required signing of a (CDA) collaboration development agreement & other associated terms which they didn’t expand on ; but the CDA contains subjects such as
*Project Development Framework - conditions around timelines, milestones & infrastructure requirements. ( there was chatter around this one before where unrealistic timeframes could be included putting pressure on us & considered incomplete by some giving rise to disputes)
*Government Support - terms associated with DRC government in providing necessary permits, licenses, and infrastructure support.provisions for regulatory approvals, tax incentives, or exemptions under the DRC Mining Code , ensuring a stable legal environment for investment.
*Economic and Social Benefits - DRC royalties & $$ uplift to local communities as well as stuff like social obligations e.g. community development programs, environmental protections.
*Ownership and Equity Adjustments - this one reflects the ownership structure of Dathcom, with AVZ holding 75% and Cominière 25%. formalizing of Cominière’s agreement to cede 10% of its stake to the DRC government upon license issuance, reducing its share to 15%.
The last one is a bit of a hand break I’d say as it does open up Cominieres decision of flogging the north to Z based on percentages that weren’t theirs to deal with.
What’s the chances that DRC government signitures are going to land in all the agreed term boxes as agreed between AVZ and CATL… highly unlikely I’d say
Good post this morning CobberChina will not/cannot offer the protection from M23 & Rwanda that the DRC so urgently need - the protection Felix was so desperate for when he first went cap in hand to the Don.

Get where you’re coming from Strongman, but I’ve never put anyone on ignore - I’ve got a pretty solid tolerance for dickheads & am generally happy enough to scroll through. Trolls peddling half-truths/lies & putting up woeful analyses is another thing.Good post this morning Cobber
My advice re the shit stain is just put it on ignore
I did that both here and on the crapper a few months ago and now it no longer exists
