Quarterly Report For The Period Ending 30 June 2015
60% Reduction in Water Requirements from Colluli DFS
Danakali Limited is pleased to announce the completion of process optimisation testwork focussing on the reduction of water consumption for the Colluli sulphate of potash (SOP) project. Optimisation testwork was initiated in February 2015 following the completion of the prefeasibility study (PFS), and was completed at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) under the direction of Global Potash Solutions. PFS mass balance modelling completed in December 2014 identified water consumption requirements of 11 tonnes per tonne of product (ASX release 9 December 2014). Optimisation testwork has substantially reduced water consumption requirements to 3.5 tonnes of water per tonne of product representing a reduction of over 60%.

Danakali Receives High Purity SOP Samples
Danakali Ltd is pleased to advise that it has received a collection of high purity sulphate of potash (SOP) samples from the Saskatchewan Research Council. The samples were generated from recently completed pilot tests which processed the Colluli potassium bearing salts to confirm the process flow design. The process combines sylvite and kainite concentrates to generate SOP in a high potassium yield, low energy input conversion reaction. The reaction occurs at ambient temperature. The samples will be used for marketing purposes for the Colluli Potash Project.
