VEC have secured a World Class Gold Project , its a shame that can not be the focus of this thread ! This should give new investors a quick overview of what VEC has to offer !
Rehashed overview for potential new investors , I've added the latest news Articles to give some type of understanding of the current political climate. If President Tshisekedi can deliver on his promises , the DRC should really start to stabilise and the people of the DRC just may start to be rewarded from the enormous mineral wealth they are sitting on
Guy Robert Lukama (VEC's JV partner on Adidi-Kanga Gold project)
Managing Director chez Mongbwalu Gold Mine ( Executive Director Fimosa Capital ) VEC's JV partner on Adidi-Kanga Gold project 1: Between 2005 and 2013, AngloGold Ashanti spent US$500mill++ on Adidi-Kanga
2: Guy Robert ( VEC JV Partner Fimosa ) was Managing Director of ( AngloGold Astani DRC ) 2006 to 2014
3: Guy Robert ( VEC JV Partner Fimosa ) was Executive Director of ( AngloGold Astani DRC ) 2014 to 2015
Anyone else seeing the big picture here , the big boss of AngloGold Astani DRC ( Now VEC's JV Partner ) was in change while all the coin US$500mill++ was spent on Adidi-Kanga . He had full access to everything , he would know everything about Adidi-Kanga and what lays beneath the ground ! https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/37122129/single
Exploration Resource Upgrade Potential
The Drilling Core Sheds on-site at Adidi-Kanga , what we know is not all of the core samples were used in the original SAMEREC and now 3.2mill0z JORC.
Significant exploration and development activities at the Project, which included 173,276m of drilling on a 25m x 50m spacing and up to a 200m x 200m spacing across the broader license area and including 432 RC holes for 52,994m and 572 diamond holes for 119,278m.
AGM notes: Q/A
Q: Between 2005 and 3013 AngloGold Ashanti completed 173,276m of diamond and RC drilling. I noticed that Anglo's drilling was very wide spaced and IMO this has left room for a potential (and considerable) Exploration Resource upgrade. If I am correct, would this be something shareholders could see near term after the Due Diligence has been finalised?
I am of the personal opinion that VEC ( Adidi-Kanga ) will get at some point a significant ( Exploration Upgrade ) with most importantly a massive amount of data to back it up , all collected between 2005 and present date. All when US$500mill++ was spent on-site !
Why did VEC get Adidi-Kanga so cheap ,2012 the writing was on the wall , Anglo needed to consolidate fast ! (The most commonly asked questions , and least researched ) https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/37096223/single
The below is a quick look list at Adidi-Kanga

Other Gold Projects that are subject to Due Diligence and on going Exploration , JORC 2012 and SAMEREC Code Leases
For what its worth , I believe all the other projects mentioned Below will be discarded at some point , Adidi-Kanga is just way to big , 100% focus most now be applied to this project only !
MANIEMA GOLD PROJECT
The Licenses contain five main prospects; Kabotshome, Mbutu, Mitunda, Mbala and Tubambo
The Project comprises seven granted exploitation licences: PR4792, PR4801, PR4803, PR4804, PR4805, PR4806 and PR4812 and which cover an area of over 500km2 Maiden Gold Resource at Maniema Gold Project https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/21936713/single The Kibali South Gold Project
Existing inferred mineral resource of 28.1Mt at 1.63g/t gold for 1.47Mozs, quoted under the SAMREC code The Nizi Gold Project
Nizi Gold Project comprises several identified gold prospects including the Baluma Gold Oxide Project and King Leopold Gold Mine
Historical production of up to 1.45Mozs of gold reported to have been produced from the King Leopold Gold Mine during the 1900’s at grades reported to be approximately 30g/t King Leopold Gold Mine
Historical records of production from the area are considered unreliable, however the existence of approx. 1.5Mt of gold tailings on the licenses, the Tarada Tailings https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/33719977/single
Hopefully Brewer and his VEC team will be making quite a impact at the Investing In Africa Mining Indaba 2019 Conference
