Junior sulfate of potash (SOP) producer Crystal Peak Minerals Inc., Toronto, on July 29 announced publication in the Federal Register of the notice of availability of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for its Sevier Playa Project, located in Millard County in southwestern Utah. The company said the publication is consistent with previously released timelines. A statutory 30-day period is all that remains before issuance of the Record of Decision for the project. Notice to Proceed is expected shortly thereafter.
“The publication of the Final EIS is a major milestone and another key step in de-risking the Sevier Playa project,” said Crystal Peak CEO John Mansanti. “It represents the culmination of many hours of work by regulatory agencies, Crystal Peak, and our respective consultant teams. We are very happy to have arrived at this critical juncture in our project schedule and wish to thank everyone involved.”
With a brine mineral resource known to contain potassium, magnesium, sulfate, and other minerals, Crystal Peak is targeting the production of SOP and other specialty fertilizers and associated products through the use of brine extraction and a solar evaporation process.
