I am really grateful for the notes you wrote and retained via the AGM, it really does depict what was translated ( i got rid of my notes, so my memory gets hazy )I'm very comfortable in understanding what the problem is. But obviously I can't guarantee everything will go in our favour.
From the AGM:
What happened after ML Decree, spurious yet we’re in suspension. What’s the main issue for ML – is it Dathomir, is Zijin ICC arbitration 15, dispute with exploration rights?
A: Lot of players in vogue here in country, lot of hatchet jobs being done – President had a bad view from being ill advised by detractors (e.g. we hadn’t done anything, didn’t have money experience, and were speculators). Detractors continuing, but slowly slowly we’re working to remove the blocks.
We knew Chinese would have a crack, but we did not expect parts of DRC government to be in on it?
A: Nor did we - “we thought it was gambit by Chinese groups to get project cheapest way. We weren’t aware it was also elements of the government complicit. We can’t go into it, but rest assured those people are being turned over within meetings with real information is being shared, and people put on the spot.
Collusion between all those 3 – namely Zijin, Jin Cheng, CAMI?
A: That would be astute thought
Issue that a portion of mines directorate said we hadn’t done the work on the northern tenement area, and shouldn’t get the north?
A: That’s not within the mining code. So 13359 should be retained in its entirety – however the northern area may need to come under a separate exploration tenement, even though that’s not the established process. – We know who’s behind this (e.g. DG CAMI)
What about AJN having a crack
A: “their premise is that we’ve returned the northern tenement to government. We haven’t. Draw a conclusion out of that”. I was a founding director and bought in as gold explorer. Found out late in the piece for a lithium plan – stepped away as soon as learned that. Shares bought before that lithium plan came into play. No conflict of interest.
Interview NF mentioned once mentioned once decree issued 10 day period before Court could issue the licence. What happened?
A: This was a misunderstanding. As soon as your documentation was in order and issued, this talk of periods was regarding the ministerial decree. Other steps in way of ML – CAMI have held up the invoicing, illegally in our view.

Just a focus on this paragraph.
"A: Lot of players in vogue here in country, lot of hatchet jobs being done – President had a bad view from being ill advised by detractors (e.g. we hadn’t done anything, didn’t have money experience, and were speculators). Detractors continuing, but slowly slowly we’re working to remove the blocks."
That clearly proves that FT wasnt following the process of MANONO doesnt it ?
Why would the president NOT have a keen interest in the progress of the biggest , most defining mining project in the DRC ?
In 2019 / 2020 , FT was running the ruler over old chinese contracts, attempting to make it fairer, why would he not run the ruler over new contracts too ?
You could accuse AVZ bod for taking their eye off the ball during COVID, but you could also accuse FT for taking his eye off the ball too.....
I had much respect for FT when he first got into governance, unfortunately that status quo has reversed big time !!
imo
