Ella, you were not previously referencing the AGM RNS (before I highlighted the wording)..probably a coincidence...?
Anyway as for resolution timescales I'm sure you also read in the RNS you are now referencing the following.....
'Partly due to the impact of Covid as well as recent Zambian elections, there have been delays in the judicial system to hear the legal cases, which are likely to be heard and decided on in the first half of 2022. Attempts are underway to come to an agreement between the parties to avoid wasting more time and until such time the Company will continue to rigorously defend its rights. Our case is extremely strong and we have full confidence in the Zambian judicial system.'
So expectation is courts heard and decide in h1 however arbitration could see early resolution to avoid wasting time. I suspect they just want to crack on with the deal with a major. Can't blame them.
So as BC/MM have the screw turned on them defending their own selves, if NvS is able to put his feelings aside (and if there is a deal to be had I'm sure he can swallow it), it could be sooner than end h1.
Legal cases. Interested majors (plural) with NDAs. If you've read the history of the assets it explains why there is all the jostling. It isn't because ARCM have nothing.
Value will be evident in time IMO.
