NEWS: Legend International Holdings Releases Phosphate Project Scoping Study

posted on Apr 16, 08 07:42AM

MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Legend International Holdings, Inc (OTCBB:LGDI) (a Delaware Corporation) with phosphate projects in the State of Queensland, Australia, releases the results of the phosphate rock preliminary scoping study on its phosphate projects in Queensland conducted by British Sulphur, a division of CRU International.

British Sulphur have prepared initial project capital and operating costs assuming sale prices for phosphate of US$100 per tonne fob, US$200 per tonne fob, US$300 per tonne fob and US$400 per tonne fob. In March 2008, sales of Moroccan product at US$400 per tonne fob Morocco have been recorded.

The report sets out the following gross earnings estimates (US$ millions) for the project:

Legend International Holdings has historically defined phosphate deposits of 1,463 million tonnes at 16% P2O5 on its Queensland land holdings. British Sulphur has completed the preliminary scoping study based on the following:

  • a 10 million tonne per year phosphate rock mine site
  • a beneficiation plant generating 5 million tonne per year phosphate rock concentrate
  • a 300 kilometre slurry pipeline from Lady Annie to the Port of Karumba
  • the development of a drying facility, plus loading and berthing areas at the Port of Karumba
  • barge transfers from shallow draught barges out to larger vessels moored off the coast in the Karumba Roadstead waters ready to ship product to Asia.

A copy of the Scoping Study is contained on our website at www.lgdi.net.

The Company will be commencing the revalidation of historical deposit estimates by drilling a number of twin holes across representative samples throughout the deposit zone, revalidating the metallurgical testwork by sending bench and pilot plant scale samples to an independent external engineering company to develop a flow sheet and final plant design, and conducting a full technical feasibility study and environmental impact statement.
