Aim-listed Phoenix Copper has appointed consultancy Hardrock Consulting, metallurgist Deepak Molhatra and Valley Science and Engineering to update the Empire prefeasibility study (PFS), as well as its openpit mineral resource estimate (MRE) and reserves.
The updated PFS, which Phoenix expects by the end of the year, will provide a framework for future workstreams, including final feasibility engineering and an updated plan of operations.
The most recent MRE and reserve update on the Empire project, based in Idaho, was done in mid-2024, with metals prices having strengthened since then.
