I'm hopeful of a resolution before it gets to the ICC . Nigel knows time and money are not on our side .There is also the chance that if something cannot be sorted the MoM will pull it completely (In The Nation's Best Interest ). I think if all the cards were going to fall in our favour it would have happened by now . IMOI'm not so sure of that. We haven't heard ICC hearing confirmed for any date in April, and in any case it's likely just going to be another procedural hearing with the case probably to be heard down the line. ICC be slooow. I know there's a chance of talking happening in the lead up to ICC if this was just a pressure move by Zijin and they don't wish the case to actually go forward, leading to some sort of negotiated settlement or the Chinese making a more concerted grab through their DRC proxy pressure campaign, but there's likely to still be a fair amount of time to act on that before any ICC embarrassment is envisaged. IMO anyway, I'm hoping your right and we won't even get to the case. (As long as that trends towards a positive outcome at least, lolz.)
