For old posters on this site. the appeal on the above senario has now concluded and hopefully a decision will be forthcoming soon.
Both CFE and Tony Sage have significant holdings in CHM and hence the interest from the CFR perspective
Cheers

CHAMELEON MINING LITIGATION UPDATE
Murchison Metals Ltd (�Murchison�) advises that the Federal Court hearing of the appeals (and cross appeals) relating to the proceedings commenced by Chameleon Mining NL (�Chameleon�) against Murchison, Crosslands Resources and other parties concluded on 17 August. The Court reserved its decision.
The appeals and cross-appeals relate to the decision handed down by Justice Jacobson on 20 October 2010, which dismissed Chameleon�s claim that it was entitled to an interest in either the Jack Hills project and/or Murchison�s shares in Crosslands Resources. The effect of the orders made by Justice Jacobson (which were the subject of the appeals) was that:
� Murchison was liable to pay Chameleon a portion of the profit it received as a consequence of the investment of $277,840 in Crosslands from 24 July 2004 to October 2010. Murchison notes that it has not been paid any dividends as a consequence of its investment in Crosslands.
As an alternative, Chameleon was entitled, at its election, to equitable compensation of $277,840 from Murchison plus interest at commercial rates on a compounding basis.
� Crosslands was liable to pay Chameleon the profit obtained by it from the use of $152,750 on the same basis as Murchison. Murchison notes that the project operated at a loss over the relevant period.
As an alternative, Chameleon was entitled, at its election, to equitable compensation of $152,750 from Crosslands plus interest at commercial rates on a compounding basis.
� Murchison is not liable to Chameleon with respect to 10 million Crosslands shares held by Murchison (over which Chameleon had claimed a constructive trust) nor was Murchison liable for the profits made by another defendant in the proceedings from the sale of 10 million Murchison shares.
� There was no entitlement on the part of Chameleon to claim to any future income or profits from the Jack Hills project.
