Back in 2018, mini-exploration mining play - rare earths, gold, and base metals -  Indiana Resources (IDA AU) had its Tanzanian retention licence revoked. With no compensation.
Indiana pursued its claim through the World Bank-backed ICSID's tribunal, which subsequently ordered the Tanzanian government to pay US$109.5mn in damages and costs, versus Indiana's current market cap of US$21mn.
Not surprisingly, the Tanzanian government is pushing back on the claim. The question is whether Indiana will ever get paid. And Indiana's not the only company seeking revocation retribution.
