PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Beyondie sulphate of potash (SoP) project, in Western Australia, is more than 50% complete, ASX-listed Kalium Lakes said on Wednesday.

The project is tracking ahead of schedule, the company told shareholders.

Following a recent capital raise, construction has started on a number of project areas, with more than 100 staff on site during July, with numbers expected to grow to 200 in the coming months.

“This is a major milestone for the Beyondie SoP project and it is pleasing to see everything we have worked so hard to achieve during the past four years becoming a reality,” said Kalium Lakes CEO Rudolph van Niekerk.

“Our team remains focused on delivering a complete, comprehensive project that will not only meet construction targets, but also meet expectations for production ramp-up and achieve the forecast production numbers. Planning has commenced for the commissioning of the processing facilities, along with implementation of operational readiness, placing Kalium Lakes in a prime position to commence production next year.”

Once in production, the Beyondie project will produce 180 000 t/y SoP, with the option to incrementally phase the project through a ramp-up from 90 000 t/y to 180 000 t/y to minimise operational and financial risks.
