This visit had a dual purpose. Firstly, it aimed to extend greetings on behalf of AVZ Minerals to the newly installed management committee, and simultaneously, to discuss the social and economic implications for the DRC of the Lithium mining project in Manono by the company DATHCOM.
The AVZ Minerals delegation consisted of Mr. Nigel Ferguson, CEO of AVZ Minerals, Mr. Landry Meya, President of the subcontracting association and CEO of AKATA RDC, Mr. Christian Lukusa, Legal Counsel for AVZ Minerals and Manager at Momentum Attorneys & Advisors, as well as Mr. Thierry Katembwe, CEO of Weza Investment.
This meeting held special significance as it marked the resumption of working sessions between the Mining Cadastre and AVZ Minerals Ltd concerning the aforementioned project.
In response, Mr. Paul Mabolia, the CAMI Director-General, expressed full satisfaction with this initiative and conveyed his enthusiasm for the forthcoming collaborative prospects.
He also expressed his personal commitment, under the supervision of the Ministry of Mines, to ensure the success of the Manono project.
As a reminder, this project is of paramount importance as it holds the potential to transform the entire Grand Katanga region through the exploitation of lithium, a highly sought-after mineral.
AVZ Minerals Ltd’s unwavering dedication to realizing this project aligns harmoniously with the vision of the Head of State, His Excellency Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, as well as with the senior leadership of the mining cadastre.
This courtesy visit strengthens existing ties and lays the foundation for a fruitful collaboration aimed at achieving the ambitious goals of the Manono project.
