Project news

PJSC Dorogobuzh (part of Acron Group) has finalised technical upgrades to its unit producing ammonia, a basic component for nitrogen and complex mineral fertilizers.

Trigg Mining Ltd has announced that it has completed the helicopter-supported shallow rotary drilling programme across its 100%-owned Lake Throssell Sulphate of Potash project in Western Australia ahead of schedule.

Anglo American expects to invest approximately US$300 million (£235 million) in each of 2020 and 2021 on the ongoing development of the project.

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 Proteos nitrogen project’s implementation is expected to require three years following the preparation of a detailed project report and assuming a positive investment decision and commencement of construction by Karnalyte.

Output is being increased at the Veliky Novgorod facility’s Ammonia-4 unit to 2500 tpd.

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.

The pieces of equipment are a high pressure scrubber, a high pressure stripper and a pool reactor.

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.
