Meaningful Resolution between AVZ and DRCExactly.... that are my thoughts too.....the magic word is, including those underway with Kobold......
It's pretty obvious that there are other parties who want the whole cake or at least a big slice.
US sits on the prime seat through the peace for mineral deal...but Nigel can use the other offers as a trump card.
There aren't any real number offers public mentioned, everybody waits till the opening move by Kobold
This will be only the beginning of an extraordinary game of chess....hold on to your socks![]()
THAT is a major question.?
only meaningful application to that is follow the law as kobold would want to set an example of doing business respecting the law.
So unless the mining licence for all of the permit 13559 is restored to the rightful owner in Dathcom/AVZ then it is a compromise and not meaningful.
Zijin can still have the North if Kobold receives fair price for it and includes the fair value of the North included in the fair compensation take over to AVZ.
We all know that Kobold do not want comminiere involved but currently the North is JV between Zijin and Comminiere ? So how this is resolved will be interesting ..I am hoping that the US simply adds pressure to the DRC to adhere to the mining law and returns the ML for the North and South to Dathcom who in turn sells to Kobold.
There is no way Zijin will go to the courts to claim legal title as they know they are in the wrong with Comminiere in how the ML for tge North was obtained.
Yes extraordinary game but not chess but survival for the DRC
