ASF, Unfortunately, I don’t have copy of any presentations made at the conference. However, the following links should give you good insight/flavour of the key themes discussed during this conference.
Topcall, You can’t compare the super pit in Kalgoorlie to what is being planned for Colluli project. The former is about 360m deep versus proposed 30 – 80m for Colluli deposit. Whilst presence of carnalite does reduce (subject to % involved) the potash ore uniaxial compressive strength, any issues with the pit wall stability can be overcomed by reducing its slope angle.
