The project features a shallow, high-grade salt deposit enabling low-cost drift mine construction, a three-kilometer conveyor system to Turf Point deep-water port, and 100% battery-electric operations with zero greenhouse gas emissions. It has completed two feasibility studies confirming over 1 billion tons of salt reserves, secured full environmental assessment approval in 2024, and early works permits. Sandvik has committed $70-80 million in equipment financing, and Scotwood Industries has signed an offtake MOU.
