The results of a scoping study, undertaken to assess the viability of producing 400 000 t/y of muriate of potash (MoP) from a portion of the sylvinite in Kore Potash’s Dougou Extension (DX) deposit through a solution mining method, indicate support for a low operational expenditure and strong cash generative operation with attractive estimated base case up-front capital costs of $327-million. The DX deposit is located within the company’s Dougou mining permit, in Congo-Brazzaville, and is southwest of the company’s flagship Kola sylvinite deposit, which will be a separate development.
