AVZ Discussion 2022

[CHB]

Anyone know why we don’t have an update?

Makes sense to update when there is an outcome

 

[Cumquat Cap]

AVZ always go completely dark after they get a win at the AGM in my experience, maybe they're all on leave now?

No indication that the DRC elections are going to be postponed........

This article is stating the obvious, but what will be the reality?

I certainly hope the IGF gets respected going forward, cause it certainly hasn t been in the past regards to Manono!!

Not that we need any evidence about how tough the DRC locals are doing, but this article is just another stark reminder.

Kasai road workers earn 7000fc a day............a 3kg scoop of corn is now worth 8000fc

Misery personified is what was expressed to FT!!...........rightly so.

I wonder if FT had the gall to wear that gold rolex watch when addressing the starving crowd ?..

Meanwhile the solution to the poverty is still sitting on surface , hundreds of million tonnes of white gold just waiting to be converted to billions upon billions of dollars to elevate lifestyles , but put on hold by sections of the DRC govt for their greedy self gain , dictated by China who dont give a fuck about the travesty at hand, just interested in control.

Disgusting.

Will this upcoming election be the pivot for desperate change ?

NFI.

Was the hearing in Washington merely formalities? Would like to know what transpired even just an acknowledgement that the everyone showed up to the teleconference would do.
Hello AVZ.... Is anyone home

The seat of ICSID tribunal is Paris.

All parties were present, DLA has a solid ICSID veteran team. This is a different team from the ones repping ICC, because the legal framework have subtle differences.

Nige was on the virtual hearing as an observer.

Strong arguments made by DLA, pretty much aligned with my previous comments and thoughts on our approach - a few additional bits and pieces that have come out recently, just strengthening our case.

Tribunal chair made closing statements, asked questions of both DRC and AVZ for some clarity, more questions to DRC than us so good sign.

Verdict before Christmas - DLA still looking like Lebron, or even just shooting from half-court with 90% accuracy.

Thanks mate

Appreciate the insights.

I'd love to know how you get the info, but would rather you keep that tight and offer up unofficial and unverified info to us in the first instance!

AVZ Case
"We did everything in the bounds of the law and our contractual obligations."

DRC Case
"Waaaah"

 

[Cumquat Cap]

What was the crux of the DRC case again? we relinquished the north or something to do with Nigel's directorship at AJN?

Either way, I find it very hard to believe we can ever work with the drc again (although I hope we do)

Ganfeng offtake was christmas time years ago, still waiting on the easter eggs

 

[Winenut]

All good!

I was being a little ironic, sarcastic and probably a bit cheeky with Ben_Jovi

Just having a bit of a play on the Christmas/Easter Egg thing with the history of AVZ

For me I'm from a long line of white ignorant BS Anglo Christian fuck ups so now I'm happily and squarely in the camp of probably the athiests....no no no...the agnostics....no no no.....whatever you believe is okay...no that's not it.....

Good people of all faiths are good people

Good people are good people

Hopefully the good people here and in the DRC can help get this gamechanger over the line for the best outcome for everyone

Hold that Vodka!!!!

Hopefully I can share that with you soon
