FINANCE VIDEO: Australian Potash Ltd. - Leading the Race to Potash Production

The company completed a positive Scoping Study in early 2017, which outlined a long life, low capital, Sulphate of Potash operation, initial production 150,000tpa, before doubling production to 300,000tpa in the future. The Company is currently working towards a Feasibility Study which will be released in early 2018, with project financing and development to commence later that year. First production from Lake Wells is targeted for 2020.
Analyst comment: Less than 5 years ago it was thought there was no significant potash deposits in Australia. Since that time a number of highly prospective regions were identified, which subsequently resulted in the discovery and early stage development of a number of Sulphate of Potash Projects, including Australian Potash's lake Wells Project.
Unfortunately, due to limited global demand for SOP, we believe it's unlikely all of the current Australian developers will commence production in the near term.
However due to a number of unique and critical aspects, we believe Australian Potash's Lake Wells Project is potentially ahead of their peers in the race towards production. Firstly, they have the lowest initial capital cost of the peer group, due to the significant existing infrastructure that Lake Wells can utilise. Secondly, it will be the only project to extract potash exclusively via bore field pumps (proven and tested method), whilst finally, it's the only project not subject to a native title claim, which is potentially a significant advantage given lake can be culturally sensitive areas.
