AMC appointed to support Colluli mining contract tendering process and optimize mine schedule

In early May, Danakali Limited and the Eritrean National Mining Corporation ("ENAMCO") announced the appointment of AMC Consultants (AMC) to support the mining contract tendering process and conduct refinement and optimization work on the definitive feasibility study (DPS) mine schedule.

The announcement explained that the "revised and optimized schedule will be aligned to the revised expected processing plant output of 472kt per annum per module following a comprehensive debottlenecking exercise in the front-end engineering design ("FEED") optimization phase."

This systematic debottlenecking exercise combined with a full evaluation of the internal mineral processing units in the DFS design liberated an additional 471 per annum of expected product capacity (per module according to the company's announcement.

The Colluli project has been described as being at the most advanced stage of development for a greenfield primary sulphate of potash ("SOP) project in the world. It is located in the Danakil

Depression region of Erotrea and is approximately 5km from the Red Sea coast, making it one of the most accessible potash deposits globally
