Potash West NL's (ASX:PWN) Dinner Hill project in Western Australia contains both phosphate and potash, providing a unique, long-life fertiliser project, close to areas that forecast strong demand growth.
The company has now engaged phosphate specialist, Florida-based KEMworks Techology, Inc, to evaluate the wholly-owned project, which is located in the Dandaragan Trough.
KEMworks will verify and optimise the process design for phosphate recovery as part of the prefeasibility study for Stage 1.
The Indicated Resource delineated at Dinner Hill could support a minimum 40 year mine life for as a supplier of phosphates and potash to the local and regional agriculture sector.
Patrick McManus, managing director for Potash West, commented:
"I am delighted to commence this program with KEMworks, a group that has specialised in phosphate processing and has an unrivalled experience in that field.
"We anticipate that the testwork will lead to a flowsheet design that will optimise economics for Dinner Hill Stage 1, currently modelled around producing single superphosphate for use in Western Australia and the local region.
"It is proposed that Stage 2 will use the proprietary K-Max process to produce sulphate of potash and other agricultural minerals."
