Exactly ICSID was always about PR13359 and the appropriate mining licence to be awarded to Dathcom.If we are waiting for Rwanda to get their sh1t together , I don't see why Nigel would pull the ICSID trigger . AVZ beef is with the DRC .Can only trigger ICSID if the DRC won't play ball.
Except our great mates Zijin are mining away in the North of PR 13359 which complicates things a whole lotExactly ICSID was always about PR13359 and the appropriate mining licence to be awarded to Dathcom.
Not rocket science if the DRC want to avoid the courts .
Simply award the ML and sign minerals for security with USA .
IMO It is not dependant on Rwanda peace deal,
Security already in place with signing of Blackwater.

Congo eyes US minerals deal by end of June, FT reports
Kinshasa views the plundering of its mineral wealth as a key driver of the conflict between its forces and Rwanda-backed M23 rebels in eastern Congo.www.mining.com
Officials from the Democratic Republic of Congo are optimistic they can reach a deal with Washington next month to secure US investment in critical minerals alongside support to end a Rwandan-backed rebellion in the country’s east, the Financial Times reported on Sunday
An investment deal with the US and separate peace deal with Rwanda were possible “by the end of June”, the newspaper said, citing two people close to the negotiations. But potential stumbling blocks remain substantial, the FT said.
The USA/Kobold have stated Zijin keep the North . Which might tell us there has been an understanding between all parties involved re Manono Roche Dure/CDL .Except our great mates Zijin are mining away in the North of PR 13359 which complicates things a whole lot![]()
Fuck that, kobold had better bring us a pretty good pay day.The USA/Kobold have stated Zijin keep the North . Which might tell us there has been an understanding between all parties involved re Manono Roche Dure/CDL .
Just have to see what happens I guessThe USA/Kobold have stated Zijin keep the North . Which might tell us there has been an understanding between all parties involved re Manono Roche Dure/CDL .
So what are we going to do if rwanda dont want to play ball ?
Peace deal requires Rwanda to withdraw troops, no peace deal no Kobold ?
How do we know DRC arnt playing games ?
KoBold reached out to Felix exactly one month before Felix reached out to TrumpIt's going to need more time to establish one way or the other. Felix reached out to Trump .
Don't forget special saucesoy sauce, hoisin sauce and oyster sauce then![]()
Not that I want to contradict you, but this statement should at least come from the DRC, ICSID and/or AVZ/Dathcom and not from someone who, as of today, has absolutely no involvement in this issue.The USA/Kobold have stated Zijin keep the North . Which might tell us there has been an understanding between all parties involved re Manono Roche Dure/CDL .
and the wiceDon't forget special sauce
That's true . It has only come from the media at this point . Still I'd be surprised if Felix's Overlords were made to hand the North back . Compensation $$$ maybe . Is AVZ getting Roche Dure or $$$$ ?Not that I want to contradict you, but this statement should at least come from the DRC, ICSID and/or AVZ/Dathcom and not from someone who, as of today, has absolutely no involvement in this issue.
As far as we as SH know and are informed by the company, the DRC has zero intention to compensate AVZ for anything Manono, north or south.That's true . It has only come from the media at this point .

The Loophole for the DRC is for Kobold to payout AVZ (appropriately Compensate ) and AVZ to drop legal proceedings . If any compensation comes from the North it will come from Zijin not the DRC . Kobold cannot get their hands on Roche Dure if AVZ are taking the DRC to the ICSID .If after many months the DRC are found guilty of screwing over AVZ ,then Kobold will either have to compensate AVZ or f--k off . Kobold already know this and have signed an MOU with AVZ .So come the 23rd we will either have a result or a suspension extension . IMOAs far as we as SH know and are informed by the company, the DRC has zero intention to compensate AVZ for anything Manono, north or south.
The DRC has agreed with AVZ to put the ICSID proceedings on halt til 23/6/25.
The DRC is fully aware of that date, so is Kobold.
If Kobold can get away not compensating AVZ for anything, they will as far as I am concerned.
Therefore AVZ should push ahead with the ICSID proceedings after 23/6/25 without delay.
