Non binding crap.... USA all talk. NO action.
I'll add. Question needs to be asked.
Has Nigel and BOD lost all control of this
Situation?.....Are we dead in the water?

 

[Xerof]

Not sure if this is a positive, negative or just life moving forward for Salim

Any insight anyone?

A quick look at the ICSID rules says this about resignations.

Those specifically mentioned rules 8(2) & 10(2) say some sort of mind numbingly boring legal jargon that I've already forgotten but seemed inconsequential.

Let's hope as the appointment process is progressed it isn't......."compromised"

Can't offer any inside info but probing ChatGPT:

Given he remains a member of the ICSID Panel of Arbitrators he has not been compromised as an arbitrator. If so there would have been formal notification.

Born 1971 and now in his mid 50's working as a QC in parallel with being an ICSID arbitrator, most likely scenario is either health and or overlapping workloads.

My take:
Our case has gone longer than expected due to multiple suspensions at the request of the parties. Our final award should have been mid to late last year. Looking at Salim's professional profile he's a very busy man arbitrating for ICSID in parallel with maintaining an active legal practice and lecturing on international arbitration. His news feed mentions being in court Dec 2025 with the next item he deemed worthy of mention being in 2024. My point being that since news items are few and far between perhaps this Dec 2025 item is more noteworthy and demanding of his time than it seems.

I speculate it's just overlapping workloads and given we are already suspended at our own request until end of Feb it's a good time to step aside allowing the vacancy to be filled without delaying proceedings further.

Salim was the arbitrator appointed by us; so I assume his replacement will also then be appointed by us as well.

Deboss must be the frontrunner in that case

Since Moollan was AVZ’s appointee, the right to name a replacement belongs to AVZ alone.

AVZ does not need the DRC’s permission or approval to select a specific individual, provided the new appointee is independent and qualified. So fuck you Felix and your family of syphilitic kleptocrats.

Mining Cadastre (CAMI) registered five new applications for exploration permits submitted by the company Kobold Exploration DRC SA

Apart from the usual bullshit in the article, it’s even more hilarious when you see who the author of the article is




One day after the reopening of its counter, which took place on February 3, 2026, the Mining Cadastre (CAMI) registered five new applications for research permits submitted by the company Kobold Exploration DRC SA. These requests are part of the implementation of the Agreement signed on July 18, 2025 between this company and the Congolese Government. The information was made public by the Managing Director of Kobold Exploration DRC SA, Benjamin Katabuka.

On this occasion, the company's manager, accompanied by his delegation, exchanged with the Deputy General Manager of CAMI, Jacques Muyumba Ndubula, on the progress of the project and the next steps in its implementation.

"It was essential for us to open this new phase of collaboration with CAMI, a central player in the development of the mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo," said Benjamin Katabuka. He also noted the continuous increase in mining research licence applications, illustrating investors' growing interest in potential Congolese mining.

The implementation of the Agreement signed on July 18, 2025 between Kobold Exploration DRC SA and the Government, through the CAMI, is an important turning point for the national mining sector. It aims to promote structured and transparent access to mineral resources, in strict compliance with legal and environmental obligations.

This development confirms the increased attractiveness of the Congolese mining sector and reflects the efforts made by the authorities to ensure fair treatment of files, thus helping to consolidate the confidence of investors that respect the legal and regulatory framework in force.

It should be noted that this dynamic contributes to the economic and social development of the DRC, by promoting the influx of investment, job creation and the enhancement of local skills in the mining sector.
