Equatorial Resources Limited ( (AU:EQX) ) has issued an update.

Equatorial Resources has completed the final procedural steps in its international arbitration against the Republic of Congo, lodging post-hearing submissions through its Mauritian subsidiary over alleged unlawful expropriation of the Badondo and Mayoko-Moussondji iron ore projects. The company is seeking substantial damages and interest, has already secured a tribunal order for cost reimbursement that remains unpaid, and has appointed Boies Schiller Flexner to lead post-award and enforcement actions while remaining open to a negotiated settlement.

Alongside the dispute, Equatorial is engaging with Guinean authorities over the status of its Nimba iron ore permits and continues to highlight the strategic potential of the Congo iron ore province. The company reports a solid cash position of about $7.4 million and says it is actively reviewing new resource-sector opportunities, underlining its efforts to preserve value and optionality for shareholders despite ongoing jurisdictional and project uncertainties.
