The following opportunities have been identified: 

• Selling a MgCl₂ brine for road dust suppression or de-icing directly to municipalities or through a distributor. The current plant has the ability to supply up to 100,000 tonnes of MgCl₂ brine annually. If market conditions are favourable, MgCl₂ brine production can be increased with minimal capital investment.
• Ongoing market disruptions due to world events may improve opportunities for North American domestic producers to access the US Corn Belt market, which imports a portion of its potash consumption from Russia.
• The hydromagnesite market study shows rapid growth in the demand for hydromagnesite particularly in North America where supply currently relies on imports. If market supply remains restricted as indicated in the market study, hydromagnesite production can be increased and sold into the world market to help reduce supply limitations.
• The synthetic world hydromagnesite market is supply limited. Karnalyte may capture a portion of the world synthetic hydromagnesite market resulting in increased revenue.
• Investigating alternative magnesium-based products to determine economic production and potential markets. Any new magnesium products would utilize excess MgCl₂-rich end brine and would be in addition to planned hydromagnesite production.

The following risks have been identified:

• There is a risk that the hydromagnesite processing plant will not perform as designed based on bench scale testing at a prefeasibility level. A larger scale test should be performed (e.g. pilot plant) to confirm its process design and capital cost. This risk has been mitigated with the inclusion of a higher percent contingency for this part of the overall project capital cost.
• There is a risk that the brine sent from the potash facility to feed the magnesium facility may have higher than designed impurities (sulphates, calcium). This is a small risk to operational costs of the hydromagnesite plant and would require a small increase in water and reagent usage.
• There is a risk that the Company’s ability to capture a share of the existing potash market for the new potash supply provided by the Project could be impacted given local emerging competitors. New planned production was taken into consideration for the establishment of long-term pricing.
• There is a risk that Karnalyte’s entry into the hydromagnesite market could affect pricing due to the scale of production relative to current market size.
• There is a risk that the possible introduction of a royalty framework for magnesium will directly impact the Project NPV.

The mineral resource estimate presented in the table below assumes the solution mining of carnallite and sylvite and is reported in accordance with 2014 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (“2014 CIM Definitions Standards”). The mineral resource is reported at a cut-off of approximately 55% carnallite for carnallitite and 20% sylvite for sylvinite determined based on operating costs, process recovery and a potash price of US$516/t. The Project will mine carnallite from the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine members and sylvite from the Esterhazy member.

Modifying factors were applied to measured and indicated mineral resources to convert them to proven and probable mineral reserves based on the leaching of potash-bearing carnallite and sylvite members using a non-selective solution mining method. The table below presents the mineral reserves classified in accordance with 2014 CIM Definition Standards that reflects a mine plan developed over three project phases amounting to the production of 2.175 Mt/a 97% KCl. The point of reference is delivery of the production brine at the tank farm at the process facilities. Mineral reserves are defined for the minerals carnallite and sylvite that can be processed to MOP fertilizer and MgCl₂-rich brine which can be processed to a magnesium product. The Project will utilize only a portion of the MgO reserves in the production of a magnesium product.

Karnalyte Mineral Reserve Statement 

Metallurgical Test Work

Since 2011, Karnalyte has completed dissolution testing, evaporation and crystallization test work, thermodynamic modelling of the evaporation and crystallization circuit, pilot solution mining testing, and performed laboratory work to confirm the process of creating hydromagnesite. The test work, combined with standard industry knowledge, allowed for a predicted recovery to be estimated based on the deposit. 

Dissolution test work was conducted on samples from the Patience Lake, Belle Plaine and Esterhazy members with most samples showing a low content of insoluble minerals which can have considerable impact on the dissolution rate and cavern shape development. Test work also showed correlation between KCl brine grade and the carnallite/sylvite content of the carnallite with carnallite providing KCl saturation values of approximately 80% at 50^oC. 

In 2016 Karnalyte performed a pilot solution mining test operation consisting of an initial cavern preparation phase using cold water from the Blairmore aquifer followed by a production leaching phase where the prepared cavern was injected with heated Blairmore water. The pilot operation concluded that carnallite solution mining of the Belle Plaine Member is technically feasible and the results were sufficient to support the concepts used to estimate the production brine composition. Combined testing and design criteria illustrate that a suitable brine can be recovered for processing in the designed mill to produce a 97% pure KCl product at 90% recovery. 

In 2014, the Saskatchewan Research Council completed laboratory work that produced two samples of hydromagnesite from the brine that are comparable to current products in the high purity market. 

A brine disposal test was completed in 2013. It showed the disposal of excess MgCl₂ brine and NaCl brine, from redissolved solid NaCl, in the Deadwood Formation is feasible. The brine disposal well was also successfully used to dispose all brines produced during the pilot solution test operation in 2016. Planned disposal to meet Phase 1 and Phase 2 should be obtained with two disposal wells and a third as standby. Subsequently, Phase 3 would require one additional active injection well. 

Recovery Methods

The potash plant design was developed from the test work completed since 2011. The basis of design is on the production of 675,000 t/a of KCl product with a KCl grade of 97%. This initial phase (Phase 1) will be expanded in Year 3 with the commissioning of a separate facility capable of producing 750,000 t/a of 97% KCl (Phase 2) after a ramp up commissioning phase. A third facility (Phase 3) will be capable of producing a further 750,000 t/a of 97% KCl in Year 5 after another ramp up commissioning phase.  

All three potash processing facilities utilize the same flowsheet by first removing insoluble and blanketing fluid from production brine followed by evaporation, NaCl and KCl crystallization, and drying and compacting producing a high-purity granular agricultural grade product. 

The solid salt produced from the evaporation and crystallization circuit is dissolved into an NaCl brine and injected into the Deadwood Formation via disposal wells.  

A portion of the MgCl₂ rich end brine from potash production is used to produce up to 104,000 t/a of hydromagnesite in a separate facility. The process involves treating the brine with Epsom salt and then ammonia. Hydromagnesite is then produced through carbonation.  The resulting slurry is then dewatered and dried before sale.  

The remaining portion of the MgCl₂ rich end brine is injected into the Deadwood formation as a waste material.

The Project is accessible via an existing provincial road just south of the Yellowhead Highway. A truck and rail loadout is located just south of the Phase 1 potash plant and storage building which will store potash produced from the three process facilities. A 3 km train rail connects the onsite rail loadout to the Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail main line north of the site to transport the potash product to market. Hydromagnesite will be transported by trucks to their destination. Key infrastructure includes the potash processing facilities for each phase, the magnesium processing facility, storage building, tank farms, injection wells, pipelines, utility buildings, cooling towers, and storm water ponds. 

Solid waste produced from the processing facilities will be partly backfilled in mined out caverns. Remaining solid NaCl will be dissolved in water and injected into the Deadwood and Winnipegosis Formations along with the MgCl₂ and CaCl₂ waste brines eliminating the need for surface waste piles.  

Raw water from the Blairmore aquifer will supply solution mining, process utility water and cooling water. Natural gas will be purchased from a gas marketer and delivered to the site by TransGas. The infrastructure for gas transportation will be funded by Karnalyte and offset by a rebate. SaskPower is expected to supply power to site with a new line to site funded by Karnalyte. Power requirement for Phase 1 is 32 MW with each additional phase requiring 36 MW and the magnesium facility 2.1 MW.

Karnalyte commissioned market studies for KCl and hydromagnesite from independent marketing analysts: Argus Media group and PW Consulting Limited. The market forecasts and pricing were used to determine the market entry strategy for both potash and hydromagnesite.

For potash, the Offtake Agreement provides for reliable, low risk sales at the start of production. The Offtake Agreement accounts for 42 – 52% of the combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 production. The balance of production will be sold into the US Corn Belt market. The Offtake Agreement provides a gradual ramp up of potash sales into the US Corn Belt. This allows time to develop customers over the first few years of production.

Hydromagnesite is a rapidly growing market as an environmental alternative to conventional fire-retardant materials. The current market is supplied by numerous small producers in Europe and Asia. The North American market is typically an import market that is currently paying a price premium to account for transportation costs from existing producers. Karnalyte will provide the benefits of a large-scale local producer to the North American market. The hydromagnesite produced will be higher purity with more uniform physical traits. This should enable Karnalyte to supply a large percentage of the existing market and future market growth.

Hydromagnesite production uses only a portion of the MgCl₂ rich end brine produced from the production of KCl. Karnalyte has the ability, in the future, to investigate further opportunities from the MgCl₂ rich end brine. This can include magnesium compounds such as magnesium chloride brine, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium oxide. Magnesium chloride can also be used as the feedstock for electrolysis for producing magnesium metal. Karnalyte has not studied the cost of production or the potential markets for these alternative products. Further study would be required prior to the Project being able to realize any economic benefits from these products.

Karnalyte received approval for a comprehensive EIS in February 2013 (the “Approval”). The Approval is based on the development of an underground potash solution mine with a design capacity to produce approximately 625,000 tonnes of saleable KCl mined over approximately 28 years. Correspondence from the Ministry of Environment (“MOE”) in 2022 indicated that Phase 1 Approval was still valid, and that changes to the Project may require approval under Section 16 of the Saskatchewan Environmental Assessment Act. The expectation is that Karnalyte will prepare, and submit to MOE, an amendment to the EIS as per Section 16 of the Saskatchewan Environmental Assessment Act for Phases 2 and 3, which are functionally similar to Phase 1.

The initial capital cost for the Project was prepared with an accuracy expected to be within ±15% including contingency and has been determined for the facilities required for the processing of potash and hydromagnesite totaling $4.19 billion. 

The total capital cost associated with the potash processing facility was developed to a feasibility level and is $3.96 billion over three phases as shown in the Potash Capital Cost Estimate Summary below. The estimate was prepared with an expected accuracy to be within ±15% including contingency and is expressed in second quarter (“Q2”) 2025 Canadian dollars. 

The capital cost estimate associated with the magnesium processing facility was developed to a prefeasibility level in 2012 and escalated to Q2 2025 Canadian dollars with an accuracy within ±25% including contingency. The total capital cost is $231 million as shown in the Magnesium Process Facility Capital Cost Estimate Summary below. 

Total potash and magnesium sustaining capital costs associated with the drilling of new wells, wellfield installed assets and maintenance and replacement of equipment and materials in the processing plants over the LOM totals $7.62 billion. 

The LOM average operating cost for the potash process facility will be $134.01/t. The LOM operating costs for the magnesium process facility will be $318.04/t.
