Mate, I would be surprised if RIO willingly wedged itself into the current shit-fight, regardless of Manono's world class credentials and potential for a tier one mine.Well at least we know that the locals at Manono will embrace Rio should Rio take up the opportunity.

If interested, RIO will probably take the least risky option of waiting for the arbitration award to land, and dust to settle.
Having said that, DD should be a breeze; just one-page double-spaced.
Cheers
