ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
13 February 2023
South Harz Appoints Leading Industry Specialists & Commences Ohmgebirge Potash Project PFS
-
Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Ohmgebirge potash project underway with the appointment of specialist team of consultants to deliver the PFS
-
Hatch to lead the team including German engineering consultants ERCOSPLAN in the role of mining specialist, K-UTEC as process consultant, and Micon for Resource Geology
-
South Harz PFS project team led by Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Berthelet
South Harz Potash Limited (ASX:SHP) ( South Harz or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has appointed its specialist team to deliver the PFS for its 100%-owned Ohmgebirge potash development project in Thuringia, Germany.
Hatch is a recognised leader in the development and implementation of potash projects globally and has worked on projects in Europe, North America and beyond. ERCOSPLAN and K-UTEC have a long tradition in the development of potash projects in many parts of the world, and both are particularly experienced in the Thuringian “hartsalz” typical of the region. Micon will continue to provide geological support and will be responsible for the Mineral Resource Estimate.
The PFS is set to further refine the engineering, design and cost estimates (to +/-20%) for the Ohmgebirge Development, following the Scoping Study completed in August 2022. Key workstreams have already commenced with overall PFS completion scheduled for January 2024.
South Harz Chief Operating Officer, Lawrence Berthelet, commented:
“We are very pleased to be working with global industry leaders, Hatch, and premier German mine and process engineering teams, ERCOSPLAN and K-UTEC, to advance our flagship Ohmgebirge Development. Coupled with our geology partner, Micon, the external team will deploy its experience alongside our Owner’s Team to advance the project through the PFS workstreams and will provide essential support to the Environmental Impact Assessment and permitting processes announced earlier this month.”
