The new DRC tax law is actually good for IVNbecause it has ultra-high grade, low costs and a lot of its political risks minimized by partnering with Gecamines, China and Japan. Financing is not going to be an issue with assets and partners like this. The new mining code will raise the bar for its competitors, perhaps even drive some other mines out of operations, not to mention driving up the price of copper, cobalt...etc. IVN will still be on track to production and will remain grossly profitable even with the new mining code. In other words, IVN is one of the most resilient in all of its peers. The most important question I ask is: Are the metals in the ground? Yes. Demand/Price going up in the next 10 years? Yes. Can we get the metals out economically? Yes. Do any of the stakeholders have reasons to not proceed? No. Regardless of who is president of DRC. If you don't know anything about mining but believe in the copper story/China's green revolution and want in - go with the guy who's done it successfully multiple times. Robert Friedland certainly stands apart from all others.
