Developing the Talitsky area of Verkhnekamsk potassium-magnesium salt deposit in Perm Krai
- 60
mn tKCl reserves
(JORC) - 2
mtpaof potassium chloride
(can be increased to 2.6 mtpa)
In 2008, Acron Group member Verkhnekamsk Potash Company (VPC) obtained a licence to develop the Talitsky area of the Verkhnekamsk potassium-magnesium salt deposit in Perm Krai, and currently is building a mining and processing complex. The project is aimed at completing Acron Group’s vertical integration by creating a potash raw material base for complex fertiliser production.
Talitsky Mine Key Parameters
- Mineral resources under JORC (Measured and Indicated)* — 719.4 mn t // 35.56% KCl // 255.8 mn t KCl
- Ore reserves under JORC (Proven and Probable)* — 190.7 mn t // 31.4% KCl // 59.9 mn t KCl**
- Mine capacity: 2 mn t of KCl with further expansion to 2.6 mtpa
