Found some further coverage of President Tshisekedi's visit to Belgium this week (link below), and note that he's the first DRC President to visit Belgium since 2007.

Also, forgot to mention earlier that Manono was of course mined by the Belgians so they know all about our project.

This 2012 press release (below) provides a brief historical insight.

------------------------------------------------
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – July 11, 2012) – Alphamin Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AFM), (the "Company" or "Alphamin") wishes to announce that it has closed the acquisition of two permits surrounding the historic Manono Mine in Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In consideration for acquiring the permits, Alphamin paid US$2 million in cash and issued 6,100,000 shares. The shares are subject to a hold period expiring on November 12, 2012.

The Manono Mine is the largest pegmatite hosted deposit of cassiterite, columbo-tantalite and lithium mined to date. The pegmatite is exposed over 14 kilometres and is open to the northeast and southwest with good potential of continuing onto the newly acquired tenements. Historically 180,000 tonnes of cassiterite (tin oxide) were mined during the Belgian colonial era. The mineralogy of the deposit is unique due to the high tonnages of spodumene which contains up to 2% lithium oxide and columbo-tantalite which made up 5% of the tin concentrate.
Lars Pearl, MAIG, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has verified the technical data disclosed in this release.

Lastly, and get this... years ago Tshisekedi lived in Brussels (Belgium) where he studied, worked and became an active member of the Union For Democracy and Social Progress (one of the major contemporary political parties in the DRC which his late father Etienne was once leader of).

Takeout: the Belgians know Manono like the back of their hand and can now trust the DRC IMO given the new President's background, western experience & insight, and his desire & motivation for real democracy & social progress to finally take hold in his homeland.
