Aguia improves Tres Estradas economics

Test work at fertiliser developer Aguia Resources’ Tres Estradas phosphate project, in Brazil, has indicated significant capital and operating expenditure savings through process improvements and production efficiencies. Aguia on Wednesday said that the test work, done as part of the bankable feasibility study (BFS), had delivered the information necessary to define the process flow diagrams, mass and energy balance, and to allow for the finalisation of the trade-off studies.
