Full Summary

Apollo Minerals Limited (ASX: AON) has been reinstated the Couflens exploration permit (PER) through a decision by France's highest administrative court, the Conseil d'Etat. The permit's validity for five years was confirmed by France's Directorate General for Energy and Climate. However, a group of non-government organizations filed an application against the French State with the Administrative Court of Toulouse seeking an interim suspension of the permit's effects. The court granted the suspension, but not the permit itself. The French State plans to file an urgent appeal to overturn the suspension.

Outlook

The company expects the Council of State to determine the matter soon and will update the market accordingly.
