Rio's endeavour in Serbia is not exactly smooth sailing.Totally agree, we obviously need to push forward with ICSID and ICC. That's the only pressure point we've got.
My only dispute is with those who say we shouldn't compromise whatsoever and should await the eventual ICC/ICSID rulings. As if that's a simple pathway invariably leading to a positive outcome in some reasonable time frame.
I say keep pressing our arbitration cases with full vigor, up to the point where some deal might be possible that gets us a PE. Then we try to leverage that into a half-decent sale price to a major thats interested in a world class lithium deposit and that has the know-how and willingness to operate in this challenging jurisdiction. Might be a short list, but the upside is so high that I imagine we could find a suitor. If that takes some trade-offs or concessions then so be it. And to have any hope of getting there before I go grey(er), we need our licensing/ownership issues to be settled one way or the other.
Otherwise sure, if nobody comes to the table, then we go full ICSID and sit in for the long haul.

Serbia: Thousands join Belgrade protest against lithium mining
Activists warn the mine could lead to the contamination of land and water and damage public health.
I don't know if they are mesmerising about Manono, or giving Manono a wide berth as being a poison pill.
They did visit the DRC MoM recently, I am curious what that was all about.
