As far as we know, there is no incentive for SISG to offer shareholders any settlement. It appears they have acted above board and within their rights, though it still seems unclear exactly who owns and has the rights to what, and who owes what debt to whom, given the structure of AML and the project companies.
Until that is resolved legally, it's impossible to say with certainty that SISG has no reason to settle, but in my opinion, if they have the right to restart Tonkolili as reported, as and when they want, then why would they need to mollify shareholders? They seem already to be seen as the saviours of SL's mining industry, if we are to believe the local media.
