Highlights:
- Completion of test work programs indicate significant potential CAPEX and OPEX savings to be gained through process improvements and production efficiencies
- Optimal run of mine rate of 3Mtpy established for production of 300ktpy phosphate concentrate
- Focus on mining high-grade oxidized ore in initial years of operation
- Optimizations to crushing circuit, milling circuit, flotation circuit, filtration all expected to result in CAPEX and OPEX reductions
- Market study confirms no further processing required to produce commercial aglime suitable for local consumption as a by-product from phosphate production
- BFS targeted for completion March 2018
