    Not intending to downramp here - just interested to see if anyone has any thoughts on ethical investment considerations with this stock - surely a question that is bound to emerge sooner or later if it hasn't already. I think its fairly common knowledge that the DRC has a long history of foreign exploitation going hand in hand with government corruption. It also has one of the greatest disparities between living conditions and mineral wealth on Earth (ie vast mineral wealth + extreme poverty) . What, if anything is there to suggest that the story could be any different for AVZ?
    From Wikipedia FWIW:
    "In April 2013, anti-corruption NGOs revealed that Congolese tax authorities had failed to account for $88 million from the mining sector, despite booming production and positive industrial performance.
    If AVZ were to pay the full tax rate, and there could be scrutiny / transparency around fair transfer of wealth to the Congolese people, then maybe....
    What do you think?
