Potash West (ASX:PWN) has received positive results from a revision of a Scoping Study targeting single superphosphate production on its wholly owned Dinner Hill Project, located 225km north of Perth in Western Australia.
The results of the study were generated following the discovery of a high grade phosphate zone and significant increase to the Mineral Resource at Dinner Hill. The results have identified reduced operating costs and the possibility to produce rock phosphate as a final product.
“The significant phosphate potential of Dinner Hill was recognised as we progressed our exploration in early 2015,” said Potash West Managing Director Patrick McManus.”
“As we had defined a new resource estimate this year some 100% higher than previously, from new drilling programmes, we took the decision to revise and update the existing scoping study findings for Dinner Hill. The drilling programme has identified a significant high grade section of the deposit. The high grade start-up delivers 5.5% P2O5 ore for the first five years, 90% higher than the source average.”
McManus said that these factors were the drivers of a number of changes to the project plan. These included installing a Sulphur burning acid plant which would increase initial capital cost, but substantially reduce operating costs for a mine life that is now double that of early estimates.
“As a result, the new findings reinforce that the Dinner Hill phosphate resource can provide a long term supply of single superphosphate to WA and the local region. The advantages of low cost mining, low sovereign risk, world class infrastructure in place, and short logistic chain to end users, combine to make the economics of this project compelling.”
PWN’s plan is to now develop the phosphate project as Stage 1 of a plan to produce potash, phosphates and alum from the extensive greensand deposits at Dinner Hill.
