RE:RE:RE:not sure whats up with the share pricebmw, the type of novel cavern construction Western is relying on has never been accomplished before.
The mining technique used by Intrepid in Utah is a different animal in the sense that their project was once an operating conventionial underground mine that eventually flooded out. This technique Western is currently attempting is horizontally mining through a thin high grade seam of KCl.
Similiar to running a straw through a piece of strawberry short cake, where only the strawberry filling is being extracted without contacting any other parts of the cake.
If they do, the processing becomes a much bigger process similiar to a convential solution mine like Belle Plaine or Bethune, but on a much smaller scale.
