See what I mean, folks. Any wonder why I did not post and REASON why I will NOT NEED TO POST again. Just trying to share the latest on DRC litigation which will be of use when it comes to RRR's DRC litigation. Why? It is called precedent law case. It is going to be very difficult for the state to argue their case in AVZ when it has already lost the INTERIM RULING and now the MANONO LITHIUM DEPOSIT HAS GONE TO AN 3RD PARTY ----------whilst the lithium project ---is subject to INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. News, Sun, 24.3 .24.

HAWAIIFIVEO -There's your PROOF WHY FOLKS DONT WANT TO POST ON THIS FORUM due to sharing does not meet with any thanks.

Lots of typos, sorry.

Sorry , press post by accident.

ie the PFS valuation can grown to even more than US$1bn for Manono. Same goes for RRR MUSONI. It is a LOSING BUSINESS FOR THE COUNTRY. So, Mr Bell can convey to the President that it is best to SETTLE the matter of MUSONI now that the AVZ INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ENTERS ITS FINAL HEARING WITH A WIN ALREADY FOR AVZ AT THE INTERIM RULING.

All very reasonable and logical. With hind-sight, their Geo dept should have done some work on it and the process that way would have been more paying for the country, but now, it is possible the PAYOUT for AVZ is going to be MEGA with interest etc.

---------------RRR VS DEFENDENTS AT INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION : TIME IS TICKING ON AND THERE IS A LEGAL TIME LIMIT TO FILE FOR A WRIT. MR BELL, CHAIRMAN OF RRR WILL HAVE TO INFORM SHAREHOLDERS SHORTLY ON THE DRC LITIGATION MATTER BOTH IN THE DRC AND AT INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. Sun, 24 Mar 2024.@6.20pm. DYOR, NIA.

Please CHECK.

----------JUST CHECKED: MANONO LITHIUM PROJECT, DRC--------

Yes, I think that DRC's state miner player may have handed the project ie Manono to Zijin to develop!!! My word, this is getting even more complex. When the ISCID hears the FINAL HEARING, they will surely ask what is happened to Manono lithium project and they may hear [press reports etc] that the minor JV partner in dispute with AVZ may now become the DEVELOPER? All very confusing isnt it?

--------------------MR ANDREW BELL, CHAIRMAN OF RRR.------------------

I heard perhaps on this forum that Mr Bell has some lines of communication to FELIX the President of DRC. If so, I think that Mr Bell can convey that this is not a paying business for the state. Why? They sold the licence of Manono to 1 chap for a few mil. Now, the PFS is OVER US$1BILLION [& if there is an updated PFS, the deposit can grow even larger given it is

I will simplify the long tale of AVZ vs DRC Cominiere. 1stly, AVZ has been SUCCESSFUL in its ICSID [INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION COURT, not the same as ICC] via an INTERIM RULING. Next, will be the FINAL EPISODE , again at ICSID wherein AVZ of Australia will argue at the int. court vs DRC's Cominiere of which I believe the DRC govt will be responsible for their state mining co? The matter of Zinjin is of a different matter as it is against AVZ not upholding their JV sale etc and this is a matter of the DRC COURT. In AVZ's case --as with many of these LICENCES, folks just walked up to the state miner and GOT A LICENCE with "entry fee" etc. Then, it gets SOLD ON or licence taken back etc=DISPUTE.

In AVZ's case, the article said that VALUATION OF US$220M is rather something common but AVZ had a PFS with NPV of OVER $1BN USD. From my research, for RRR JV, THERE IS A PFS OR SOME STUDY DONE = VALUATION . The point of AVZ illustrates that the DRC GOVT MUST BE SHIVERING as the PAYOUT IS GOING TO BE MEGA SHOULD THEY LOSE THE FINAL ISCID FOUND and INTERIM ALREADY WON BY AVZ [who have a string of wins]. I am not sure if MANONO LITHIUM LICENCE has been SOLD ON from the last I checked. ==========RRR DRC ARBITRATION==IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THE DRC GOVT OR COMINIERE IS NOT AWARE OF AVZ 'S ICSID CASE AS THEY ARE THE DEFENDENTS -------SO, RRR 'S ARBITRATION IS OF INTEREST as Mr Bell, Chairman of RRR stated in the international mining community. IF the MAJOR in going to be named as the defendant to come potentially, they too must be shivering as norm as it is not only about the payout potentially but it is against UK law and by extension, mk rules. LET SEE WHAT MR BELL WILL SAY. News, 24.3.24 [Sun]. All this is commonly known and there have been many cases before of London listed co's and such ISCID cases. But looks like the path is more well travelled now with the AVZ ISCID case in the works for the final show?

I am updating myself on the AVZ Minerals, ASX Australia listed litigation in the DRC as it would be an eye opener to RRR litigation as above, both in Kinshasa, DRC and then International Arbitration. The titles are:

[1]"The curious case of AVZ, the Congo and the BIGGEST LITHIUM DEPOSIT ON THE EARTH."-Business News, 5 days ago. [2] "Manono Lithium/ICSID: What does the FRENCH Ministerial reshuffle mean for the arbitration."-African Business Plus, 2 wks ago & [3] "Z I J I N'S CASE against Australian AVZ over stake in Manono Lithium Project to be HEARD IN DRC C OURT."-Yicai Global, 6 days ago, 18.3.24 .

ZIJIN - they were told by the International Court that it does not have the "JURISDICTION" to hear the case and it must go to the DRC Court. Zijin said AVZ "failed to recognise Zijin's 15% purchase of a STAKE in a JV------controlled by AVZ ---which held the concession." In the article of [1] above: "MANONO sports a BIBLICAL SCALE OF 842 Mt of 1.61% lithium. The story: DRC owned 100% of the Manono licence. DATHOMIR secured an OPTION of 70% to do certain things eg DFS and pay ==US$6m==AS ENTRY FEE. Cong of Dathomir did not want to put his hand in his pocket so OFF-LOADED most of Manono to AVZ of Australia . Cong would retain 10% and AVZ 60%. DRC held on to 30%. In a dispute, agreement as norm with shareholder groups would be INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. Dispute then ensured between Cong & AVZ and the latter sought INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. ------"DRC QUIETLY ATTEMPTING TO OFFLOAD 15% OF ITS 25% to C parties without giving AVZ 1st right of refusal to buy the shares as per the DARTHCOM AGREEMENT. DRC GOVT LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO COMINIERE -appropriate or legal. Violation of mining code... Cominere valued it at Us$220M BUT AVZ & DATHCOM DFS showed project's POST NPV AT OVER $1BN. --AVZ OPENED A 2ND ICSID [not ICC] LEGAL CASE===JAN 2024, AVZ ---WON AN INTERIM RULING FOR DRC GOVT TO RE-INSTATE SOUTHERN PORTION. FINAL RULING WHEN ICSID HAS HEARD ---T W O SIDES." AVZ has bag of favourable rulings and prepares for the final episode. [All from the article with no changes - to read , call up the title.] Very interesting and as said, all not unknown and let's see what Mr Bell , Chairman of RRR has to say on RRR Arbitration and ICSID international arbitration. Sun, 24.3.24.

Mr Andrew Bell , Chairman of RRR has tweeted TWICE yesterday, Sat, 23 Mar 2024 @ 7.35pm and 7.36pm. Given he was silent, I was cognisant he can only tweet AFTER MKT CLOSES as norm [seen it on other stocks before?]. The 1st tweet merely said "No" to someone posting about the railway and the other reply was "100%" relating to HRH. Since, there is no PIC showing Mr Bell is back in the UK, one could or would or may assume he is still in the DRC. The share price of RRR has NOT dropped like a stone [as some might think] but this means the MARKET considers this event: "MARKING TIME." In terms of mkt CATALYST , ONLY the DRC arbitration AWARD outcome is of IMMEDIATE mkt interest at this time [share price does support this mkt theory.] So, relating to the arbitration, the burning question is: With RRR and other parties given the " D R A F T AWARD" and there is "AGREEMENT" between the 2 parties, it would be a matter of legal procedure for the Commercial Court in DRC to uphold this legal agreement Law 101. Even in divorce cases, where is is a pre-settlement legal agreement between the 2 principal parties to the divorce, the Court will have a short hearing to uphold the agreement between parties provided it is within REASONABLE accepted legal protocols of settlement. But IF, there is dispute, then a divorce case become more long drawn as LEGAL SETTLEMENT has to be fought in Court, inch by inch. So, with that in mind, is it a MATTER OF NOT IF, but when per Law 101 as above in an "AGREED SETTLEMENT."? One awaits Mr Bell's elucidation. All the forums that are usually busy are now quiet --lots happening. So, having explained my position, I have many other personal matters to attend to. I keep to posting rules which one can see on the RIGHT of this window BEFORE one can post message. So, NOT B or anything like that. Sun, 24 Mar 2024. The sun is shining and I have just done up the garden.

There are rules relating to BROKER REPORTS. As a media co, TMS can get the OUTLINE of a broker note, BUT usually not the full report and this is norm. PROACTIVE got LIBERUM broker note target price and also a few sentences. TMS is starting a new service ie "ASK THE ANALYST". So, all the QUOTATIONS as above are from LIBERUM's Sam Wahab. I saw it on an American site as well ie the Liberum Sam Wahab interview about HE1. Many do not have the advantage of hearing an oil and gas specialist at a broking house and on this forum, there has been endless discussions but the definitive as said was: "HELIUM FLOWED to surface at 4.7%" at Itumbula. Also, Tai 3 was considered by layman not to be successful due to the string break at the rig under Minchin. Now, the analyst confirms that ALL 3 wells flowed. So, isnt that good to know and CONFIRMATION that 3 wells flowing vs 40 well in the North Sea for commerciality. ? Folks wanted Lorna Blaisse to speak but coming from an analyst would be better as a 2nd view. Sam per his LInkedin which I posted details of, is senior in terms of oil and gas experience at director level and Head of SP Angel, Oil & Gas. Hope that clarifies given TMS had little or NO direct input on any of the above --it came direct from Sam himself.

"@Liberum Today Analyst Sam Wahab explains all to TMSearch." - Helium One on Twitter, 20.3.24 [PINNED TWEET]. https://twitter.com/Heliumone1/status/1770353858851545595 Link to Sam's interview on HE1.

Comment: ALL 3 wells were successful in floating helium to surface. 3 HITS.

Quote: "The Helium One OWNED rig will drill the target reservoir in standard 8.5" hole as opposed to 3.5" hole drilled in the last round of drilling. IT IS A LARGER RIG with a TOP DRIVE system and therefore can drill more efficiently."- -1.8.23 From article below. The deal looks to be a GAME-CHANGER for the co -shares JUMPED by almost 100% on the news. But that could be a taste of things to come." [This is Money]. ///Indeed, Itumbula was drilled to great success with "HELIUM FLOWING TO SURFACE at 4.7%. Sam Wahab, Liberum mentioned yesterday in his interview about this HIGH GRADE helium compared to others.

LIBERUM's target price 5.2p . Noble Helium, ASX who is the neighbour to Helium One has a MKT CAP OF A$40.26m and has NOT drilled to basement yet as HE1. Helium One's helium grade is also HIGHER? So, all co's have valuations for the this stage as norm.

[2] "SMALL CAP IDEA: Helium One at likely turning point after buying drilling rig."-This is Money, 1 Aug 2024.

I just used the link by Burton who happens to be the Founder of the media co. TM Search. At the momo, HE1 is popular stock. Proactive Investors also printed part of the LIBERUM note but TMSearch has introduced a new feature ie Ask the Analyst. Us, ordinary pi's cant get to read the broker note [rules etc] so if any media co manages to obtain the note, it is a help to us, pi's. The quote I believe is from Sam Wahab of Liberum ie from the interview re: Helium One. Hope that clarifies. No one else has got the LIBERUM Analyst interview conducted by Sarah Lowther [she was with Proactive in the past with another gent who has moved to IG. Both of them used to be the main interviewers.]

Maidit308: Since you asked, here are my basic thoughts. Andrew Bell may be still in the DRC otherwise, he could show a pic in the UK. On 14,3.24, Mr Bell, Chairman, RRR showed 2 pics ie of "meeting" & "meeting to meeting" which suggest potentially, a meeting with the JV partner/counsel. RRR update stated: [1] All parties inc RRR given "DRAFT AWARD". [2] All parties "IN AGREEMENT". So, as in probate where there are 2 parties, the LEAD counsel must then prep A LEGAL AGREEMENT for BOTH parties to SIGN [notary etc]. Once signed , the LEAD counsel then SUBMITS the agreement etc to Court and asked for a short hearing for ORDER FOR SALE. Since the Judge sees both legal parties agree to sell, it will be APPROVED by the Court. Then , it goes to be STAMPED so that it becomes legal. SAME TYPE OF PROCEDURE here given RRR gave the outline of "DRAFT AWARD" & "PARTIES AGREE." So, NOT A "DISPUTED" award. Once the award is tamped, them a LEGAL DEMAND LETTER TO PAY will go to the payer and then they await payment. I feel that RRR could RNS that the agreement has been [1] signed by all parties. [2] Court hearing pending or heard and approved or not approved. If both parties agree, it is "legally uncontested" ie award. So, I am anticipating and hoping RRR ie Mr Bell will NOT wait but issue a update as above. That is my view based on basic principles of process. However, I think everything is in French so Nomad may want a English translation as norm --this should NOT take too long. I have NOT been given more than the RRR RNS so, that is what I am working on. If counsel is not filing, the lead counsel can be dismissed? Just got to wait. Fri, 22.3.24. NIA. DYOR. Or it could be not the above - just got to wait now?

Theeeeduke: Since you ask in a polite way, I will provide the courtesy of a reply. My stock account is on open and I see it is +1.79% and RRR is there. Andrew Bell , Chairman has gone completely quiet on Twitter and it is not usual since he went to the DRC. So, one way or the other, an update may be due as norm. I am off now. When life is over, some have returned from a NDE and they say folks are moaning all day ? Hmm, being positive is a virtue , so hence in order not to have to reply, I decided to take my leave. Life is for enjoying - sun is out. Fri, 22 Mar 2024.

NEWS has NOTbeen B...ever in the history of this LSE stock forum [not even temporary] OR any other stock forum. I said that its no longer like other forums where there is BALANCE, and I dont want to spend my time going to and fro. I have come to realise that many basics are in fact known to many eg shares can go up and down, commodity cycle has been down for some time and for many stocks - Paul just tweeted so recently. Anyone who is positive is not in the IN GROUP? It is nice to post on a friendly stock forum and the only ones here that are friendly are few. Fri, 22 Mar 2024. I was on my way to another forum so, just happened I stopped by to see if this forum has turned more balanced?

Comment: I posted yesterday about ARTEMIS 100% GROUND AT MT MARIE & 100% PATERSON @ARV. However, I cannot put a view except to post verbatim from the interviews etc. Now, George Ventouras himself has given an INTERVIEW with The Market Bull, Australia =======THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE INTERVIEW from the horse's own mouth.==== WOW!!! After mentioning 26km , then 2ND HIGHEST GRADE OF LITHIUM AT 4.67% VERSUS NO 1, AZURE AT 4.87%, George goes on to talk ABOUT PILBARA MINERALS with the legendary WODGINE lithium deposit and AZURE's lithium deposit, near 100% ARV Mt Marie.!!! George also CONFIRMED what D.L said in this interview. George also said WATCH THIS SPACE for ARV Paterson. The interview was beyond my expectations ---it will be historical for this co, ARV. At the height of the conglomerate gold, George said that ARV went to a $200-250m mkt cap. He also said that if the mkt was not down for 3-4mths, ARV WOULD HAVE TRIPLED. Thank you to George Ventouras -in his own words
