Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo

Félix Tshisekedi wind up against mining companies that do not respect their specifications (Council of Ministers)

Head of State Félix Tshisekedi deplores the non-compliance by mining companies with certain commitments made in their specifications with the Congolese State in accordance with the Mining Code.


He made this known last Friday during the 103ᵉ meeting of the Council of Ministers held in person at the city of the African Union in Kinshasa.

According to President Félix Tshisekedi, this non-respect has resulted in the framework of sustainable development in favor of local communities impacted by mining projects.

For the Head of State, this behavior has a negative impact on the social actions to be carried out by these companies in favor of local communities.

In the government, Félix Tshisekedi invites the Minister of Mines to take up the file in order to enforce these specifications at the risk of sanctioning these companies.

78th UN General Assembly: Félix Tshisekedi pleads for equitable collaboration in the exploitation of minerals in the DRC​

Last updated: 2023/09/21 at 7:31
Published September 21, 2023

In his speech at the 78th United Nations General Assembly, the Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi, expressed the importance of the DRC's natural resources in international cooperation, indicating that the country was ready to collaborate with public and private partners to enhance its strategic mineral resources.

The President of the Republic also highlighted minerals, in particular copper and cobalt - which are in high global demand - to fuel the transition to renewable energy and clean technology.

From the above, the DRC being the main cobalt-producing country on a global scale, it is automatically at the center of global attention.

Continuing his speech, Félix Tshisekedi expressed his commitment to sustainable development and ecological transition, considering the country's natural resources as a major asset to achieve these objectives.

In addition, he called for "honest and equitable" international cooperation for the exploitation of the DRC's natural resources, with the aim of ensuring fair and environmentally friendly use.

The Congolese President's speech at the United Nations gallery showcased the DRC's willingness to contribute positively to the global energy and ecological transition, while responsibly valuing its unique natural resources.

Again from the above, a more fully translated version….

by Madame Julie NGUNGWA MWAYUMA


Under the leadership of Governor Julie NGUNGWA MWAYUMA, a delegation from the provincial government of Tanganyika headed by the Provincial Minister of Mines Denise KAYEMBE participates in the great international mass on metals organized in Kinshasa from September 20 to 21, 2023

This is a large Forum bringing together on the one hand multinational firms and major African businessmen and on the other hand the Congolese Government with representatives of all entities replete with the natural potential discussed in this meeting.

This Forum is the main engagement platform for producers of cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, graphite, manganese, rare earths and “3 T” producers, battery manufacturers, investors and NGOs in Africa. With its Manono Lithium constituent an important reserve that the world needs for the new wind of the generational electric automobile industry,

Tanganyika presents itself not only as a participant but also as an active player on whom the DRC places its sights in this area.

This justifies the presence of this delegation composed in particular of the Provincial Minister, the Advisor to the Governor in charge of Mines, the principal assistant to the Governor and representatives of the subsidiaries TANTALEX and AVZ Minéral
potential partners of government….

with regard to research on the lithium reserve of http://Manono.La

…. submission of specifications for social responsibility for community development, being the concern of the Head of State Félix Antoine TSHISEKEDI TSHILOMBO

and held to heart by Madame Julie NGUNGWA MWAYUMA, Governor of the province of Tanganyika and personal representative of the President of the Republic….


this forum is therefore the meeting place for key stakeholders, technology suppliers and end users in order to facilitate dialogue to define and build a new industry in the DRC. Driven by the demand for batteries and electric vehicles, in a transparent and open environment, the DRC-Africa Forum on Battery Metals is committed to positioning the country on the line of capital involved in the manufacturing of the electric battery in order to promote the national interest which is only dependent on local production and processing

Translated from French

9:31 p.m. in New York, 2:31 a.m. in Kinshasa, end of the first day devoted to the analysis, among other things, of the battery and electric vehicle project cycle which includes 5 stages:

1) preparation/analysis of the situation
2) definition of objectives
3) design/specifications
4) production/execution
5) monitoring-evaluation

Execution period over 10 years. No more question than capturing only 3% of the market value of our materials. The great economic battle has begun. It's up to us to make it our own, otherwise economic independence will still have a long way to go.

I posted this old article because it shows AVZ with Tshisekedi and Tony Kanku

AVZ boosts lithium recoveries at Manono project; meets with DRC President​


Special Report: AVZ Minerals has further increased the grade and recoveries at its Manono lithium and tin project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The company (ASX:AVZ) has also had high level meetings with DRC President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo.


Heavy liquid separation test work using a finer ore crush size of 3.35mm has boosted the grade to 6.63 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) and recoveries to 70.4 per cent for HLSW test work only and no flotation.

That is an increase from a grade of 6.2 per cent and 65.9 per cent recoveries at a 5.56mm crush size, and a grade of 5.77 per cent and 61.7 per cent recoveries at the 10mm crush size through the same HLS process.

Heavy liquid separation test work reports higher recovered grades than dense media separation test work. AVZ is currently undertaking dense media separation test work and a further update is expected soon.

Meanwhile, AVZ is keeping the DRC government updated on the progress of its Manono project.

Last week, a Dathcom Mining SAS delegation led by AVZ’s technical director Graeme Johnston met with President Tshisekedi Tshilombo in Kinshasa, following several meetings with government officials and presidential advisors.

L – R: Tony Kanku (Advisor), Graeme Johnston (AVZ Technical Director), Balthazar Tshiseke (Dathcom chief administrator), President Felix Tshisekedi, Christian Lukusa and John Kaninda (Dathcom legal advisors).

Specific mention was made of the highly successful resource drilling completed in 2018, which prompted AVZ to fast track the definitive feasibility study (DFS).

During the meetings, questions relating to taxation, logistics, energy supply, industrialisation, economic and social development in the Tanganyika Province, and further engagements on key aspects of the project were also discussed.


We welcome His Excellency’s interest in the Manono lithium and tin project and the support of his office to bring certainty to the DRC’s first, and the world’s largest, undeveloped hard rock lithium deposit,” managing director Nigel Ferguson said.

“We look forward to further engage with key government advisers in the Mines and Finance departments in coming weeks to ensure we move towards a mutually beneficial outcome for the Manono project.”


Manono hosts the largest, highest confidence lithium resource in the world.

And recent test work indicated that material from the Roche Dure target had similar crushing and grinding characteristics and rock strengths to other well-known lithium pegmatite ores.

Pegmatites, which are rocks formed from lava or magma, are the primary source of lithium.

Dewatering of the Roche Dure pit is continuing at a steady rate.

AVZ is stepping up its dewatering efforts with a second pump on its way to the site, which will dramatically increase water pumping rates and allow access to the pit floor.

The company expects to gain full pit access in about two to three months.

Once the pit is fully de-watered, AVZ will start work on comprehensive DFS level pit wall and floor mapping to expand planned geotechnical drilling.

The company also plans to undertake further selective resource drilling to allow upgrade of previously inaccessible pit floor resources and possible grade control drilling test patterns.

AVZ Minerals has improved on the initial results of its metallurgical test work programs at its massive Manono lithium project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or the “DRC”.

Heavy liquid separation work on ores crushed to a size of 3.35mm produced a lithium concentrate grade of 6.6% with recoveries of 70.4%.

The most recent met work marks an improvement over the work on ores crushed to a coarser size of 5.6mm previously, which produced a lithium concentrate with a grade 6.2% and a 66% recovery.

AVZ said the finer crush results will set the parameter for comparative dense media separation testing that will be carried out over the next few weeks.

The company has also met and updated the DRC President, Tshisekedi Tshilombo and senior government officials on the progress being made at the Manono lithium project which currently boasts close to the largest undeveloped in-ground lithium resource anywhere in the world today.

Tony Kanku Shiku and his political group determined to grant a second term to Félix Tshisekedi​

06/06/2023

Tony.jpg


Having realized that the Head of State has the manifest will and the irreversible commitment to organize this year 2023, democratic, transparent, free and peaceful elections; the members of the political group called the Alliance of Actors Attached to the People (AAAP) have decided to come together and mobilize in order to achieve the primary objective they have set for themselves: to give a second term to the President of the Republic Félix Tshisekedi.

Thursday, June 1, 2023, in the large Showbiz concert hall, located on Colonel Mondjiba Avenue, opposite the UTEX-AFRICA archicomble commercial complex. Party executives and activists, those of associative movements, as well as independent personalities who are members of the AAAP were all present at the ceremony of the official exit of their mega political grouping.

Bringing together more than 62 political parties, all very motivated and determined to give a second term to President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo, the said members signed their act of commitment in the presence of the High Representative of the Moral Authority of the Group, Tony Kanku Shiku.

Addressing the audience, the latter recalled that their initiative is part of the objective of giving a second presidential term to the current Head of State.

"We realize that the Head of State has the clear will and irreversible commitment to organize democratic, transparent, free and peaceful elections this year. And we, AAAP members, have decided to come together to face these electoral requirements, "said Tony Kanku.

On this same momentum, the speaker continued that "AAAP is a political group that now has 62 political parties, with several networks of civil society associations and organizations and senior political figures".

The High Representative of Moral Authority invited the Congolese to "sy together as one man behind the Head of State, for collective well-being".

At the end of the ceremony, several political parties, such as: Alliance for Citizen Actions (AAC) by Evariste Boshab; Alliance for the Progress of the Congo by Henriette Wamu or the Alliance of Congolese for Renewal by Jacques Ikung Mbul, signed the act of commitment to support Félix Tshisekedi during the presidential election of December 2023.

In view of the influx of the population at the ceremony on Thursday, June 1, it can be said that Tony Kanku was full. We will have to reckon with the AAAP at the next election deadlines. Free Debate

The Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi meets with AVZ MINERALS (DATHCOM) to develop the Manono lithium project.
NEWSECONOMY

2019, when Félix Tshisekedi meets the leaders of DATHCOM SA and supports AVZ MINERALS in DATHCOM's Manono lithium project​

September 26, 2023
Kiki Kienge

As part of a good and shameful cooperation between the partners of the DATHCOM joint venture, holder of the PE13359 permit for the richest lithium rock deposit in Africa with the country's authorities, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo had wanted to personally meet and exchange with the leaders of the Manono lithium project.

After several meetings with representatives of the Congolese Government and presidential advisors, a delegation from Dathcom Mining SAS led by the technical director of AVZ MINERALS, Graeme Johnston, met with President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo in Kinshasa, to inform him of the progress of the project's work in the province of Tanganyika.

The Head of State had wanted to have with him, Tony Kanku Shiku close and advisor to Félix Tshisekedi, who was able to facilitate many foreign investors in DR Congo, "rumors" speak in particular that he would be the union between the Congolese State and thePRIMERA group.

In the photo of the title of the article, from your left to your right, appears;

From left to right: Tony Kanku (advisor), Graeme Johnston (Technical Director of AVZ), Balthazar Tshiseke (Chief Director of Dathcom), President Felix Tshisekedi Tshilombo, Christian Lukusa and John Kaninda (Legal Advisors of Dathcom).

Nigel Ferguson, Managing Director of AVZ MINERALS, said at the time:

"We welcome His Excellency's interest in the Manono lithium and tin project and the support of his office to bring certainty to the first unexploited hard rock lithium deposit in the DRC and the largest in the world.

We look forward to working more with the main government advisors of the Ministries of Mines and Finance in the coming weeks to ensure that we are progressing towards a mutually beneficial outcome for the Manono project. ”


The meeting between the two parties was focused on the commitments of the Australian group, AVZ MINERALS in the project, such as the realization of infrastructure (roads and others) important for the economic and social development of the province of Tanganyika, including issues related to taxation, logistics, energy supply (the Piana-Mwanga hydroelectric dam file), industrialization of the territory and other aspects of the Manono project.

Technical report of DATHCOM SA to the Head of State:

Heavy liquid separation tests using a finer ore crusher size of 3.35 mm increased the content of lithium oxide (Li2O) to 6.63% and recoveries to 70.4% for HLSW tests only and without flotation.

This is an increase from a content of 6.2% and 65.9% recovery at a crusher size of 5.56 mm, and a content of 5.17% and 61.7% recovery at the crusher size of 10 mm by the same HLS process.

Heavy liquid separation tests show higher recovered contents than dense media separation tests. AVZ is currently undertaking dense media separation tests and a new update is expected soon.
