Fertilizer project news

The pre-FEED (front-end engineering and design) study is the next step in the development of a chemical and fertilizer facility near Narrabri, New South Wales, Australia, which will use appraisal and early development gas.

The US$1 billion facility in Kingisepp, Russia, was formally opened at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June.

Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corp. recently completed research of a new fertilizer processing technology with several technology institutes.

Matt Shackleton, Managing Director and CEO of Australian Potash, has said that the complete findings of the definitive feasibility study on the project will be released in due course.

Danakali and the Colluli Mining Share Company have said they aim to commence project execution in 2019.

During the maintenance period, the existing facilities will be supplemented by further components for screening and cooling the products.

The two companies have identified a mutual opportunity for Salt Lake Potash to use part of the pre-strip material from Blackham’s proposed Williamson Pit development for the construction of the Salt Lake Potash project's on-lake evaporation ponds.

The company has made an EPCM agreement with Lycopodium for services related to the development of Itafos Farim’s mine site, which is expected to produce 1.3 million tpy of phosphate rock.

The proceeds of the offering will be used, together with proceeds from the other elements of the Stage 2 Financing, to fund the construction and development of a polyhalite mine, located in North Yorkshire in the UK.

The application from Kalium Lakes was for the Euro/US dollar equivalent of approximately AUS$50 million of project finance export cover.
