RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Operational News......or lack offrostback, I am not so sure this stalemate is an indictment on the pilot project itself, but more so the fact that funding to complete not only the 17% remaining construction, but more so actually paying for the 83% of construction costs already completed to date has become a major conundrum.
Not sure how Western can possibly complete the remaining 17% of required items on the to do list when every contractor in Saskatchewan will be very aware of what is going on on with contractors at the Milestone site.
It shouldnt be that tough to prove the pilot process as the crystallization pond wont lie. The unprocessed inventory is either there in plain view or its not.
"Nevertheless, the Company will continue the operation of full-scale hot mining to consistently build up inventory of potash in the crystallization pond, getting ready for harvesting by the end of the year."
Question is, can Western somehow de-brine, dry, and compact the potash with out the required equipment, as Western already has a contractual buyer for 100% of the potash offtake
"Once finished the plant will de-brine, dry and compact the potash and truck to the local Port Lajord fertilizer distribution center where Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) has signed a binding off-take agreement with Western to sell the 100% of the offtake."
As I mentioned earlier, so close, but yet feels so very far away
