Lake Way proves up for Salt Lake

A scoping study into the Lake Way sulphate of potash (SOP) project, in Western Australia, has shown that the project could produce some 200 000 t/y of premium-grade SOP over a mine life of 20 years.

ASX-listed Salt Lake Potash on Thursday reported that the project could have the lowest operating costs of any global SOP producer at a free-on-board operating cost of A$264/t.
