Hi All

Wishing everyone here ( except the trolls ) a Merry Xmas and hopefully a great new year.

2024 hasnt provided us with much joy, had to deal with a heap of head fucking scenarios , but the one piece of good news to come out was that AVZ got Locke funding sorted, so we get to fight these criminals until the finality, thats a big relief!

Take care everyone, enjoy time with family and try to chill.

Merry Christmas to all fellow AVZ colleagues. Have some wonderful time out from the crap some spread on here.

It’s better sometimes to say nothing than nothing at all.

Re: DIG Oil (DIG)versus the DRC

This issue is not so different from the DRC's breach of the Dathcom Agreement, lack of due process, failure to follow the mining code, corruptly employing friendly judiciary the prosecute AVZ, making and presenting forged documents, and arbitrary expropriation (without compensation) of AVZ's interests in Manono.

For those interested, here's the timeline of the key events in DIG's ICC arbitration with the DRC government, commencing in 2007 with DIG’s agreement with the DRC government:
  • 2007 (Dec): DIG signs a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with DRC for exploratory blocks in the DRC,
  • 2008 (Jan): DIG signs another PSA with DRC,
  • 2010: DRC awards a production sharing agreement to another company, violating the 2008 contract with DIG,
  • 2016 (Oct): DIG initiates arbitration proceedings against DRC,
  • 2018 (Nov): The International Chamber of Commerce arbitration tribunal rules in favor of DIG, awarding $619 million in damages,
  • 2019 (Apr): DRC appeals the arbitral award to the Paris Court of Appeal,
  • 2020 (Jan): The Paris Court of Appeal dismisses DRC's appeal, upholding the arbitration award,
  • 2020 (Apr): DIG initiates proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to confirm the arbitral award,
  • 2021 (Apr): DRC offers to settle for approx $300 million in cash and new oil and mining permits, which it subsequently reneged on,
  • 2021 (Sept): The U.S. District Court enters a default judgment against DRC, confirming the arbitral award. The DRC did not bother to contest or even send a representative,
  • 2024 (Dec): Reports emerge of a secret $150 million deal between DRC and DIG.

    Anyone taking bets on whether the DRC will renege on this too. After-all, it's in their DNA and they've got form.

Cheers

So only 8 years for a chance at a rumor of partial payment? Cool.

From $US619 million ICC award down to a negotiated $US300 million cash settlement (which they reneged on) then down to a rumored $US150 million settlement.

I'll take bets the inbred fuckers don't try to renege on that too.

Lonely Talk To Me GIF by Michelle Porucznik

We are so fucked. And nobody give me the 'But they want to get this to mine as soon as possible!' rhetoric.

These are not logical people we are dealing with, I think they would rather their people suffer just to spite us for not providing snacks.
