Williamson ponds project, Australia
Name of the Project
Williamson ponds project.
Location
The project is situated at the Lake Way project, in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Client
Salt Lake Potash.
Project Description
Salt Lake plans to construct a pond system to dewater the Williamson pit, at the Lake Way project.
The Williamson pit has a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant mineral resource of 1.26 Gℓ of brine, at an average sulphate of potash (SoP) grade of 25 kg/m3.
Under an agreement with owner Blackham Resources, Salt Lake will dewater the pit ahead of Blackham re-entering the pit for mining.
The Williamson operation will be the first operational-scale SoP evaporation ponds built on a salt lake in Australia; the ponds are an important part of the staged derisking and development of the Lake Way project, as well as across the Goldfields Salt Lake.
