The new government is also very pro mining, and positive into developing the country, and is encouraging investment. The notion out there put up by our WA inc competitors that there will be confiscation is plain dumb....
imagine what that would do to new investment in the DRC!![rolleyes.png](https://ci6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/XEwQX5gQKy6FJcT9NwsHcSkNEOxuL7AUZMSK3MH4_q-aXtUCg-9rqbNajakRsDiIN9XtE87CnWyWgbgkH3gTgVDRv7nheXY=s0-d-e1-ft#https://hotcopper.com.au/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)

I'd personally would be worried about the risks getting a mine up and running in Western Australia with a lot of red tape. For instance it took two years before LTR could fully access their Kathleen Valley deposit to drill it because of native title issues. And take Gina Reinhart's Western Australia's Roy Hill iron ore mine which was strangled by red tape.
"They spent nearly five years conducting studies, preparing reports and otherwise completing various applications for approvals – which in turn had collectively been ‘under consideration’ for more than 5 years. They needed 4,000 primary and secondary approvals. The resultant compliance costs were out of all proportion to the project risks .They also presented a major hurdle to achieving the complex funding required for a project of this scale."And as Freehold stated
the support for AVZ's project from the DRC government is an understatement! They want to showcase the largest lithium project to the world as an example of what happens when companies invest in the DRC!,
to encourage more investment and therefore I feel very safe in my AVZ investment in the DRC.
