My take on the situation would be this: 1: BCI take it on...

My take on the situation would be this:

1: BCI take it on themselves (infrastructure, mine ability etc.) which they are unable to even contemplate given the cost involved. Possibly be dissolved waiting for this to happen. Not happening.
2: They need a friend, a big friend who I doubt will come to the rescue given the resource next door, unless they could have a footprint ... next door. Not happening.
3: The most probable scenario. API conduct an offer to BCI for their resource including ongoing royalties. Foot on the throat. Let's face it, not a great deal happening atm.
4: BCI and API come to some idyllic arrangement where they work together and they meet and build a unicorn enclosure to keep the lefties out and both parties fully united (infrastructure, mine ability etc.) in their quest for riches. Not happening.
