<http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/perth> PERTH (miningweekly.com) -
<http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/potash> Potash developer South Boulder
Mines has started pilot <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/testing> testing
of the process <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/design> design of its
Colluli <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/project> project, in
<http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/eritrea> Eritrea, at the Saskatchewan
Research Council, in <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/canada> Canada.
South Boulder MD <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/paul-donaldson> Paul
Donaldson said on Thursday that the pilot plant would use potassium-
<http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/bearing> bearing salts from the Colluli
resource.
"We are pleased that we have been able to develop the test programme and
commence its execution well ahead of the prefeasibility study (PFS)
completion. This will allow a seamless integration of the pilot plant data
with the definitive feasibility study
<http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/design> design and final costings," said
Donaldson.
He noted that given the process was relatively simple and had been
commercially proven, the pilot plant was simply an exercise to ensure all of
the plant <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/equipment> equipment was
correctly sized for the final process.
The PFS on the Colluli <http://www.miningweekly.com/topic/project> project
was scheduled for completion in February next year.
