I asked Copilot for the full text of the 18-Jul agreement, but the answer is that it has not been made public to date. Coplilot provided a detailed breakdown of what the agreement probably covers, but I suspect that the Copilot answer is mainly speculation based on heresay and hence, I have not repeated it here.

Remarkable step for our issue ... a private foreign US investment company (with no track record) stands frontline with Head of DRC (next to US ambassador).
(I can not remeber any pic between Head of DRC and Manono Lithium SAS/Zijin)
"...With this in mind, he promised that Kobold Metals will soon apply for exploration permits on large tracts of land, using American technology. ..." --> after paid a fair value to AVZ for their legal holding (75%) of the project.
When it is all done, what will be the title of your book?Just to be clear Pakabomba and Popol Mabolia both colluded with Cominiere and Zijin, and here’s a few reminders of what they did
2021

The ICC ordered Cominiere not to take any steps to explore or exploit (directly or indirectly) within PR13359 and PR15775.
The ICC concluded that Cominiere violated ICC orders, deliberately concealed evidence and ordered Cominiere to now pay penalties of €100,000 per day for violating additional ICC orders

It appears Mr potato head has a vested interest in keeping Kibeya around.
The kobold reps will know they're in Africa once Kibaya starts ranting and raving like a barbaric animal like he did when he was heckling Serge at the DRC mining week presentation.

So long as we've got our money I don't care what happens. I'll even buy Kibeya a megaphone to yell into.
Also to build on my earlier comment that I think there are other bidders and this is a stunt by KoBold to try to box them out. I've gotten the same story from different somewhat reliable sources. There are other bidders, and they have offered AVZ more than KoBold has offered so far.
