This dude with a broken backbone is still alowed to show up his face ...

In his speech, he emphasized that the DRC, under the vision of the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, aims to become a major player in the production and export of lithium, particularly thanks to the Manono deposit.

@Dave: As a German I doubt this homepage is read by economists and politicians. Never heard or read of it.

Nigel got hoodwinked by Kobold last year . Can happen to the best of us . DRC playing games with all sides is my guess . China pulling strings . IMO

Would be nice if we were the ones doing the actual hoodwinking... for the first time in the history of this stock!

Australian funder backs lithium claim against Mexico

A UK mining company says it will make good on a threatened investment treaty claim against Mexico over a cancelled lithium project after it secured financing from Australia’s Litigation Capital Management.

globalarbitrationreview.com

The UK-based company is Cadence Minerals and its ICSID claim relates to its Sonora Lithium project, one of the world's largest lithium deposits.

Issue:
In August 2023, the Mexican government cancelled the mining concessions for the project following the country's nationalisation of its lithium sector in 2022.

Claim:
Cadence and its subsidiary REM Mexico claim that these actions effectively "destroyed the value" of their investment and breached the UK-Mexico Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT), specifically protections against unlawful expropriation and unfair treatment.

Partner:
Cadence holds a 30% interest in the joint venture companies holding these concessions, alongside the Chinese lithium giant Ganfeng Lithium, which is also pursuing legal action against Mexico. In June 2024, Gangfeng (70% owner) initiated ICSID proceedings (ARB/24/21) against Mexico for the expropriation of the mining tenement.

While the Mexican govt did its thing through legislative channels but without compensation (rightly or wrongly), the DRC did its thing through its nationally recognised process, govt sanctioned graft and corruption.

Cheers

The most annoying thing about this is that the data will eventually come out and then Trump will say. 'Totally! That's exactly what I wanted. That's how I planned it. Not many people know.. Some people know, but not all.... but it's definitely true'.

Thanks @Schnitzelfresser and I apologise for that shot I had at you back in June last year. It was a case of mistaken identity at the time and I’m glad you’ve forgiven me!

It’s beyond me why Nigel would pause arbitration twice over just 10 cents per share

I think the point of pausing was to allow time for better offers from competitors before the final ruling from ICSID.
