CITIC Resources Holdings ( (HK:1205) ) has issued an update.

CITIC Resources Holdings has reported a setback in its Indonesian legal action related to the Seram Block, an oil and gas asset operated via its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Seram Energy Limited. The State Administrative Court in Indonesia has ruled that it lacks jurisdiction over Seram Energy’s claim against SKK Migas, finding the dispute arises from contractual arrangements that must be handled under the production sharing contract’s dispute resolution mechanism rather than through administrative adjudication.

As a result, Seram Energy’s claim was declared inadmissible and the court did not consider the substantive merits of the case, with the verdict set to become final and binding after 23 February 2026 unless appealed. The company is now seeking legal advice on its options and has pledged to continue pursuing appropriate legal and contractual measures to protect its rights and interests in the Seram Block, while cautioning shareholders and potential investors to exercise care when dealing in its securities amid ongoing uncertainty.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1205) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.58 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CITIC Resources Holdings stock, see the HK:1205 Stock Forecast page.
