February? So we are expecting something to eventuate by then? There were some rumors/hearsay on the crapper about something being done by EOY, but I’m so used to being disappointed that I refuse to believe we’re close to the end.Latest Development:
November 17, 2025 - The Tribunal suspends the proceeding at the request of the Claimant until February 27, 2026.
We literally just waited from April for our rescheduled hearing to occur after the last suspension. There wouldn't be an immediate ruling after the hearing in any case, so why not just let it ride? Surely that would apply more pressure to get a result. And even if they couldn't get a deal done and the ICSID award came first, this would provide a price guide to negotiate from, and give an impetus to the DRC to remove the stain hanging over their 'open for business' mantra.February?

If Nigel falls for the DRC's tricks again, I'm slowly losing my patience...By February, everything should really be settled.
This is exactly it... its in our detractors interests to stall and kick the can down the road to bleed our legal funding dry. Why is our own management doing it now over going full steam on litigation resolution. Thats what needs answering at AGM.if February rolls around again and we have to restart the ICSID Proceedings without any headway towards a resolution
Not happy about further delays but perhaps it's out of necessity. It'll take that long for the Minister of Mines to embezzle a replacement jet and get back from Kolwezi.
Thinking timelines and a possible best case scenario to justify this: When Rio bought Arcadia in October 2024, it took 3 months before approval could be gained by Rio shareholders (approval gained in December 2024).roughly it's a 3 month suspension. It's reasonable to believe there be some negotiations going on now, and it needs a bit of time to conclude.
we would be laughing for joy if we'll get another AGM resolution for a deal tabled just before the AGM.Thinking timelines and a possible best case scenario to justify this: When Rio bought Arcadia in October 2024, it took 3 months before approval could be gained by Rio shareholders (approval gained in December 2024).
Remove the players (only used as an example) timeline scenario is still valid.

Though it seems an encouraging signal, I'm going to be fuming if February rolls around again and we have to restart the ICSID Proceedings without any headway towards a resolution, and have to wait again for another rescheduled hearing after wasting more time.
But hopefully this means that our management believe we are nearly across the line.

... that said one week out from AGM and suspending ICSID, is it even remotely possible Christmas might come early?
I'm waiting for some bright spark on the other channel to come up with the totally credible line that the three-month ICSID suspension is because Nige and Graeme are in gaol, or have fled to Greece wearing a bad wig.Haha, well said @Dave Evans
don’t worry, toilet is moderating the fuck out of anything on a positive note over on the crapper
Get real Dave. Providing support doesnt have to mean blind obedience without questioning what lies behind any decisions. Discussion of developments on a discussion forum? Blashphemy!I have to say that for a long time I thought you both flip flopped on your comments and I couldn’t understand why you wouldn’t just stick to supporting Nigel and the BOD. It’s a shame toilet isn’t here anymore because he would have loved to agree with you both and join in.
Anyway, I have to admit I agree with you both now. Obviously this decision by Nigel and the BOD was done on a whim with no rationale, thought process or confidential agreements in place.
In fact we can only assume that this latest debacle is the result of some very bad advice by DLA Piper.
It’s an absolute outrage, complete madness and I think we should all send our concerns to Messrs Carrick and Cong as well as to ASIC because I’m sure they are the answer to our prayers. Those of us truly God fearing shareholders that pray that is
Now where’s my flip flops?

Yeah i was confused by that post by Jens at the time. Didn't know if he was talking about mining licence or ICSID. Have always taken what Jens says with a grain of salt but seems this time he was on the money.Reminds me of a comment from Jens on X a week or 2 ago, didn't know what it really meant at the time, still don't ...
