Potash

Verde AgriTech Plc has received the full environmental license for mining up to 233 000 tpy of its multi-nutrient potassium fertilizer.

BCI Minerals Ltd has announced that the company’s flagship Mardie Salt and Potash Project has been granted Major Project Status by the Australian Federal Government.

In its end of year results, BHP has announced that it will make a decision on developing the Jansen potash project in 2021.

Salt Lake Potash has announced construction of the process plant at its Lake Way Sulfate of Potash project in Western Australia has continued to progress.

Gensource has engaged a consortium of companies that will work together to provide a design-supply-commission package for the entire process plant at the Tugaske project.

The in-fill gravity survey, comprising 14 lines for 107 km, together with a survey conducted earlier in the year, will provide the first comprehensive and accurate picture of the entire tenement.

The Notice of Commencement of Mine Development which Colluli Mining Share Company lodged with the Eritrean Ministry of Energy & Mines has been accepted.

The company now has agreements in place for 100 000 tpy of offtake across Australia, New Zealand, China and Asia, out of its total expected production of 150 000 tpy.

The funds raised will primarily support the company as it continues to rapidly develop the project through the delivery of key work streams.

Results from the field work, if successful, will underpin a maiden JORC Mineral Resource for the Lake Throssell SOP project.

The project remains on track for first sales of sulfate of potash in the March 2021 quarter.

The main line works are anticipated to take five months to install, which will see works complete in December 2020.

The upcoming programmes, the first to be undertaken since the lifting of Covid-19 travel restrictions, represent the first field-based exploration to be undertaken at the Lake Throssell sulfate of potash project in Western Australia since its discovery late last year.

During construction of a potash mining and processing facility in Solikamsk, Penetron Perm provided a waterproofing solution for the below-grade concrete components in the new buildings.

The Total Resource at the project has increased to 25.37 Mt @ 13 375 mg/L SOP from 18.67 Mt @ 12 388 mg/L.
