ERANOVA METALS ADVANCES ADANAC MOLYBDENUM PROJECT TOWARD PEA
Eranova Metals Inc. has made the decision to advance its 100-per-cent-owned Adanac molybdenum project toward a National Instrument 43-101-compliant preliminary economic assessment (PEA), following the completion of an internal desktop-level assessment by Tetra Tech that supported advancement of the project based on the mineral resource and mine plan prepared for Adanac Molybdenum Corp. in 2006. The assessment was completed using conservative, legacy inputs and did not incorporate the company's updated 2022 mineral resource estimate, which will be formally integrated for the first time as part of the PEA.
"We do not advance projects toward a PEA lightly," said Meredith Eades, president and chief executive officer of Eranova. "The conceptual work completed by Tetra Tech gave us the confidence to invest in the next stage of technical and economic studies. The Adanac molybdenum project is a large, well-defined molybdenum system with extensive historical work behind it, and the fact that this assessment supported further advancement using conservative, legacy inputs underscores the strength of the project and we believe it has the potential to deliver robust economics. Moving toward a PEA reflects both the scale of the opportunity and our commitment to disciplined, methodical project development."
The internal desktop-level assessment evaluated high-level development scenarios and indicative project parameters using the 2006 mineral resource and mine plan, updated to reflect modern cost structures, throughput assumptions and long-term molybdenum pricing. This work formed part of a staged evaluation process designed to determine whether advancing the project to a formal PEA was technically and economically justified.
The company expects to commence PEA work in the near term, with completion anticipated within approximately three months, subject to standard technical review and reporting timelines.
