Executive Summary
This technical report outlines the recovery methods planned for the Bounty Potash project. The proposed methods are modeled after the Intrepid processing facility at Wendover. The process involves pumping brine into solar evaporation ponds to precipitate salts. The ore is harvested and processed in a mill where potash is separated from salt via flotation. The material is then dried, compacted, and screened. The facility also produces Metal Recovery Salt (MRS) and Magnesium Chloride brine for de-icing.
Processing Methods
- Solar Evaporation Ponds:: 8,000 acre (3238 ha)
- Brine Pumping:: 5 billion gallons (8.9 billion liters) annually
- Milling:: Flotation for potash/salt separation
- Product Processing:: Drying, compacting, screening
- Final Products:: Muriate of Potash, MRS, Magnesium Chloride
