The Sumitomo 3 year business plan includes a substantial supply of ore from the Solomon Islands.
Their 3 year business plan is worth a read.
It includes prediction on supply / demand.
Somehow they will need to fill the void in their current plan. I bet their top team is working on that.
A partnership SMM/GVR/INC/AVQ/KB perhaps?
