Lake Way Transaction

The Lake Way Transaction1 with Salt Lake Potash Limited (ASX:SO4) ("Salt Lake Potash") has completed, with Blackham receiving $7 million cash, which is in addition to the $3 million deposit that was received from Salt Lake Potash in July 2019. Salt Lake Potash will also contribute up to a further $10 million to the pre-strip of the Williamson open pit mine, allowing Blackham to expedite the mining of the Williamson open pit and providing Salt Lake Potash with suitable construction material for its Lake Way Sulphate of Potash project.
