Lake Wells proves economic – Australian Potash

A scoping study into the Lake Wells potash project, in Western Australia, has confirmed project economics, owner Australian Potash said. The scoping study considered the development of a two-staged operation, with Stage 1 producing some 150 000 t/y sulphate of potash (SoP). Stage 2 will see production double to 300 000 t/y SoP, with production to double by the sixth year of operation.
