Mr. Craig Williams reports
EQUINOX PROVIDES ZESCO DISPUTE UPDATE
The protective relief action initiated by Equinox Minerals Ltd., in relation to its dispute with ZESCO (the Zambian power utility that is providing power to Lumwana), was heard in Lusaka High Court, Zambia, on Jan. 14, 2009. The Judge declined to make a ruling and rescheduled the hearing for Jan. 23, 2009.
As announced in Stockwatch on Jan. 7, 2009, the company is in dispute with ZESCO over electricity charges believed by ZESCO to be incurred by the company since late 2007; a claim the company disputes. The company has given notice of arbitration to the London Court of Arbitration to commence arbitration proceedings, in an effort to resolve the matter.
Given the importance of the Lumwana mine to the national interests of Zambia, and that the company and ZESCO were already in negotiations, the judge urged the parties to continue such discussions and attempt to agree to a settlement prior to the rescheduled hearing. Equinox believes such discussions will continue to progress, and believes such discussions could likely lead to a resolution and settlement prior to the revised hearing date.
The company remains confident that continuity of supply will not be affected.
We seek Safe Harbor.
