You might be rioght OldBlue, Kenmare could be in the mix hypothetically and acquisitions always pick up in good markets for commodities due to an oft repeated lack of exploration by majors.
Surely the PFP team will be planning ahead for a scenario where we may get an eventual influx of money from TZM to pay us to politely bu*ger off IMO and the new subsidiary might be linked to something our team are planning along the EV market demand (located in Zimbabwe and Malawi perhaps as in a previous RNS) , perhaps even irrespective of a resolution with TZM in the near term - but well picked up Investor01.
Extracts from the 12 Apr RNS on Company Strategy Update might hold some clues :-

Extract:
As previously announced, the Board is discussing strategic options with institutional litigation funders and other parties, which now range from conventional litigation funding arrangements, whereby the legal costs of the claim would be borne by the funder on a contingency basis, through to a full acquisition of the claim via a disposal, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals as needed, of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, IM Minerals Limited ("IMM"), enabling Pathfinder to return, well-funded, to its core objectives of exploration and mining. In this regard, Pathfinder is at the early stage of investigating a range of opportunities within the minerals sector including a graphite project in Madagascar, a lithium project in Zimbabwe, and a battery metals project in Malawi.
Extract:
Given the areas now referred to as the Licence were independently assessed in 2010 to have a market value of between US$107.6m and US$179.3m - prior to the Moebase portion of the Licence being upgraded to Mining Concession status - we believe the current Licence-holder, TZM, has a significant vested interest in protecting its investment in the Licence. The window of opportunity for TZM to act is closing as the Company may dispose of IMM to a third party whose sole objective is to pursue the valuable claim under the Treaty.
I'm telling you OldBlue - you're starting a diabetic epidemic in the Squirrel population in your vicinity :-))
