I would say that meetings held with high level govt officials that management spoke about at the AGM and featuring many a time in local DRC media would tick that box.
The fact JB has got this far confirms for me he is extremely well connected and tackled DRC with a greater plan than what we are seeing. Otherwise any sane person wouldn't even think about giving it a go!
Hence why there is so many golden (pardon the pun) opportunities over there but so many scared to give a go. Something like tackling lithium in Chile or Bolivia!!
