Pacifico gets breathing room

The Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has recommended that ASX-listed Pacifico Minerals be given a further five years to start development at its Sorby Hills lead/silver/zinc project.

The EPA has recommended that Pacifico be granted leave until April 2024, to develop the project, after the company requested an extension to the time limit of authorisation, which would have required the company to start development of Sorby Hills before April 2 this year.
