Melbourne-Legend International Holdings Inc. said June 30 that the Wengfu Feasibility Study for the Legend Phosphate Project in Queensland, Australia, is complete, and that the project is positive and robust against a number of fertilizer market scenarios. Legend will release more details about the study on July 23, 2010. It said the recent study outlined the feasibility of the development of a 600,000 mt/y sulfuric acid plant, a 300,000 mt/y P2O5 phosphoric acid plant, a 600,000 mt/y DAP/MAP plant, and a 15,000 mt/y aluminum fluoride plant, as well as corresponding utilities and auxiliary facilities. The phos acid plant would initially be fed by crushed and screened high-grade phosphate rock ore from the Paradise North Mine, followed by feed from a benefication plant located at Paradise South. A second study is also underway on the feasibility of expanding production to 900,000 mt/y P2O5, a 1.8 million mt/y DAP/MAP plant, and a large-scale benefication plant. This study is expected to be complete by Sept. 30, 2010.
