AVZ Discussion 2022

[Goat]

Well back to reality. Word on the street is that AVZ are pumping some big drill bits into the ground every day, targeting 15000m worth of holes.
Be patient my little kittens, the pineapples will be flowing freely very soon.

I am driving to Sydney this coming weekend, no where in particular, just want to clear my head space, I planned it a month ago and was hoping by then (this coming long weekend) we will be out and trading, and i will stop by at places of our contributors here on TSE to drop some goodies along the way and may go all the way to Adelaide, and fly to see Jag and others in Perth. Alas.... , I am sure good news is just around the corner, and Melbourne will be place to be

Had a nice 5-day break visiting wife's family. Out in country NSW and the house we were in had no reception so I could switch off. Recommend this to any of you long sufferers out there feeling the heat. Also drank a lot of alcohol so it could be that too?

Cited in the Vidiye Tshimanga case in the DRC, Ivanhoe Mines invited to enlighten the public on its links with its partners​

View attachment 17445

The Canadian mining company whose activity is concentrated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo around production from the copper mine in joint venture of Kamoa-Kakula and the historical mine of zinc-copper-germanium-silver of Kipushi, Ivanhoe mines is quoted in a case of corruption and influence peddling.

In a widely shared video revealing the direct involvement of a close associate of the Congolese president in the granting of mining permits, Ivanhoe mines is cited as a partner of COBAMIN, a mining company owned by Vidiye Tshimanga.

“With Ivanhoe, they have 80%, I have 20 (…). My 20% is split in half, so you have 10%, that’s COBAMIN – my company.

The other 10%, because in the mining law, you have the obligation to have a Congolese person in the company…

This Congolese person is someone we have chosen.” Vidiye Tshimanga said in this video.

In a press release, the “Congo is not for sale” (CNVP) coalition, while calling on international institutions and countries that are friends of the Congolese State to sanction any person involved in bad practices, recommends Ivanhoe Mines to fix the opinion on the nature of its links with its partners.

“To the company Ivanhoe Mines, to enlighten the Congolese public opinion and the shareholders of Ivanhoe mines on any possible contractual relationship with Mr. Tshimanga, Cobamines, and any other company linked to the people publicly exposed.

To initiate legal proceedings against the latter if the company considers that it has been wrongly quoted,” insisted the CNPV.

To the international community, the CNPV is keen on the international sanctions of any Congolese personality involved in bad practices.

“To international institutions and countries friendly to the DRC, to draw up sanctions against any Congolese personality involved in bad practices (corruption, influence peddling, embezzlement, etc.) which keep the Congolese people in indescribable misery,” the statement said.

However, the CNPV also asks the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (ITIE-RDC) to “ensure that the publication of the list of subcontractor companies is effective and exhaustive by the publication of the next report EITI-DRC”.

This human rights defense platform calls on Congolese to be vigilant in denouncing this kind of abuse.

“Remain vigilant and mobilized to denounce all these bad practices and their authors, who enrich themselves exponentially by sacrificing our hopes and those of future generations”.

I wonder, if How Ivanhoe responds.
Will they say ‘along with DRC custom we showed up with a pile of brown bags, or say ‘who?’, ‘what?’, we don’t know nothing.
Or will they say in the interest of all concerned we went along with business as usual.
I can remember an interview about one or two years ago Robert Friedland hinting at something like ‘you have to be practical in life and get the best out of a business deal’.
I am not in the mood to delve that interview up, but I believe he was sitting in front of an open fire in Singapore, in a short sleeved blue polo shirt.

Lets just hope we don't have to wait until this runs through the courts to get our ML . Hopefully the recent increased interest from the USA carries some weight .

I see Guy Loando’s name is implicated. Pity king Cong isn’t directly named as well. That would definitely shut the gate

The man has no linked-in, twitter or any online presence that I can find at least, he really is a ghost! Obviously doesn't like the limelight, I wonder why!!!
Maybe he's on tik tok!?!?

Thanks, Frank for your posts.
Almost 6 months into self suspension. I can't access my money, so I am very unhappy. I fear that the delay indicates that we may be going the way prospect resources ended up. The govt there 'forced' the company to sell their Li project.
If I look through the govt's eye glasses, this is their biggest asset, so why should they give full control to AVZ (a small company)? They may think that it is good to give one part to the chinese and one part to the western mining company and get the maximum benefit to DRC. I think the delay is due to modalities to be worked out.
If that is the way (part or full project sale) AVZ is going, then it is better to split RD and CDL into two. I seriously doubt we keep the whole project with us.
Just my view, but we will know soon.
