KoBold Makes Offer for Congo Lithium as Country Courts US, page-1717

-With backing from Silicon Valley heavyweights, KoBold Metals Inc. is investing over $1 billion to acquire AVZ Minerals'
I agree that they will be investing WELL OVER $1 billion if they wish to acquire AVZ.

-a move that could reshape global EV supply chains and challenge China's outsized grip on battery materials.
Its nice the US (and world) are finally interested in doing this.

-Positioned to meet part of that demand, the Manono deposit offers scale but not simplicity. Complex geology and a long history of under-exploration have made the region difficult to assess using traditional techniques.
This is just an outright lie. We have a DFS, a clearly defined globally significant resource using conventional drilling... we hit lithium trying to dig a water well... ... unless they mean regions OTHER THAN PR13359?
