A short snippet of the latest article by Kiki Kienge, who tells it how it is, no spin:

Lithium: AVZ contradicts ZIJIN and calls for urgent intervention by the Congolese State (Presidency and/or Government) for a solution

October 30, 2023/ Kiki Kienge

This follows the announcement by the Chinese group ZIJIN MINING, which claims through its subsidiary in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Jinxiang Lithium, to have reached an agreement on the Manono lithium deposit in the province of Tanganiyka in DR Congo, a deposit valued internationally by the feasibility study carried out by the Australians of AVZ MINERALS using its own financial and technical resources.

As a reminder of the announcement by the Chinese group, ZIJIN MINING, see our article of October 24:

Since the Chinese announced the creation of a joint venture with the Congolese state (MANONO LITHIUM) through COMINIERE and the ownership of PR15775, there has been no reaction from the Congolese authorities to deny or certify ZIJIN's statements.

Note that it should be the privilege and primacy of the DR Congo authorities and institutions to publish this agreement, as it was in the public domain, but silence from Kinshasa on the Chinese group's release.
