Capacitor Metals Corp. Engages SRK Consulting for updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Upper Fir Tantalum & Niobium Deposit, British Columbia
SRK Consulting has been engaged to complete an updated NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Upper Fir Tantalum and Niobium Deposit in British Columbia, with completion expected within Q1 2027. SRK visited the Blue River site in early September, reviewing portions of the +59,000 metres of prior drilling and the bulk sample pits from which about 2,000 tonnes were extracted before the 2011 Amec PEA. The study will factor in current tantalum and niobium prices and currency exchange changes.
