SDL: Update on Leagal Proceedings Against Congo, Cameroon & ANS, page-5

• The Republic of Cameroon has ignored the interim order by the Emergency Arbitrator at
the ICC and instead granted exploitation rights over Mbalam to a third party, resulting in
a Memorial of Claim being issued against Cameroon. The mysterious circumstances
surrounding the sudden death of the Cameroon Minister of Mines in January 2023 have
delayed arbitration proceedings.
• Progress with the discovery of any relevant data on the personal mobile phone belonging
to AustSino Executive Chairman, Mr Chun Ming Ding (to comply with pre-action discovery
orders granted to Sundance in the Supreme Court of Western Australia) has been delayed
after Mr Ding stated that he lost his phone in China. This matter is the subject of ongoing
proceedings in the Supreme Court.
