Aeon pauses PFS work

Junior Aeon Metals has paused the prefeasibility study (PFS) on its Walford Creek copper/cobalt project, in Queensland, on the back of ever-increasing global input costs and supply chain volatility.

The ASX-listed company in June of last year completed a revised scoping study for Walford Creek, which delivered an initial mine life of 14 years based on the production of 243 000 t of copper, 33 000 t of cobalt, 278 000 t of zinc, 26-million ounces of silver and 15 000 t of nickel.
