The most tragic part of so many of these posts is ignorance.

Let's try and help you here.

121 and Mining Indaba are two separate conferences held in two separate venues. Actually kilometers apart.

AVZ and Nigel are attending the 121 conferences and presenting at the 121 conferences. Not the Mining Indaba. The DRC Government and Ministers are at the Mining Indaba, not the 121 Conference.

So just to make 100% sure that you understand, AVZ and Nigel did NOT present to any DRC Minister at any of the conferences. They could have, might have, met in private to discuss the issues that have arisen.
