Ann: New legal action to affirm interests in the Manono Project, page-90

It should be specified above all that it is not for the moment the Congolese State which is brought before Justice by DATHCOM and AVZ Minerals, but the COMINIERE company and its management.

In particular that it still has nothing to do with the withdrawal of DATHCOM's operating permit by the DR Congo's ministry of mines, on which Minister Antoinette Kalabayi based her decision-making.

COMINIERE through its interim Managing Director, Célestin Kibeya claims that his company had informed AVZ Minerals, which owns the pre-emptive rights, by letter and that the latter would have offered only US$15 million for the 15%.
But AVZ in a document, demonstrates a subsequent proposal of more or less US$150 million and COMINIERE's participation in the international stock market.
