Kalum Lakes: Brine Fills Large Scale Pilot Ponds

Kalium Lakes (KLL) announced today that commissioning of the Large Scale Pilot Evaporation Ponds has commenced at the Beyondie Sulphate Of Potash Project (BSOPP), with brine being pumped from existing production bores into the pilot ponds.
Managing Director, Brett Hazelden, commented:

“Commissioning the Large Scale Pilot Evaporation Ponds within 65 days of commencing construction is a significant achievement.
The real costs and the data collected during construction will allow KLL’s capital and operating cost estimates to be derived from experience, further refining and enhancing the strong basis for the economic analysis in our Pre-Feasibility Study, which is nearing completion.”

Large Scale Pilot Evaporation Pond Program

The Large Scale Pilot Evaporation Pond program reflects KLL’s development strategy, where a staged development approach is preceded by a pilot program to verify current assumptions and operational parameters along with production of bulk samples for marketing purposes. This trial program is based at the Beyondie, 10 Mile and Sunshine areas of the BSOPP.
