Test work has identified environmental and capital optimisation opportunities at Danakali's Colluli sulfate of potash project in Eritrea.

Emmerson is aiming to have the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the project ready for submission to the Moroccan government by the end of 3Q20.

The Environmental Protection Agency has advised Australian Potash of the target timeframe for the progression of the assessment.

The German manufactured Wirtgen 220 can produce up to 600 tph of harvested salts.

The report says that the Colluli potash project in Eritrea meets 13 of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The process plant has been designed by GRES and Wood plc as a reverse flotation, conversion and re-crystalisation process utilising well-established technology.

The targets include reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% per tonne of product, reducing freshwater use by 20% per tonne of product and implementing 4R Nutrient Stewardship on 25 million acres, all by 2025.

Rhett Brans has been appointed to the role of Project Director on the Lake Wells sulfate of potash project.

Western Australia's Minister for Environment has given project approval to Reward Minerals' Lake Disappointment sulfate of potash project.

The company has said that specialist equipment fabrication and supply is on track, with shipments from German suppliers due to commence this month.

Arab Potash has said the terms and conditions are in line with contracts in place in the Indian market.

An upcoming project on the Great Central Road will significantly enhance project access, future logistics and transport of people, equipment, materials and product to the regional centre of Laverton.

The rights uptake complements the AUS$2 million placement completed in April this year.

The deadline for completion of Tranche 2 of the equity funding for Danakali's Colluli sulfate of potash project in Eritrea has been extended to on or before 21 November 2020.

Emmerson's feasibility study gives a project value of US$1.4 billion (post-tax net present value) and internal rate of return of 38.5% over an initial 19-year mine life.
