Equinox Resources (ASX:EQN) started legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of Western Australia to review a decision by the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Committee (ACHC) about its Hamersley Iron Ore Project in Western Australia, according to an April 11 filing with the Australian bourse.
The review challenges the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs' refusal of the company's application for an infill drilling program at the project, citing newly identified ethnographic sites, the filing said.
The company has submitted detailed documents to the Court, including affidavits and expert evidence, and will argue that the case should be reconsidered, the filing added.
A directions hearing on the matter is expected by the end of July, the company said.
