Final report - preliminary assessment of resources and technical feasibility of producing salt chemicals from brines in the Karinga creek drainage system, Northern Territory

Abstract

This is resource estimate and pre-feasibility study assessing the use of playa lake brines in the modern Karinga Creek and palaeo-drainage drainage system to commercially produce salt chemicals through the use of natural energy. Potential products include various sulphates, chlorides, carbonates and bromides. Brines and sediment cores were sampled, assayed and classified. Laboratory test work was conducted. The report concluded that there was some confidence on which to further pursue a commercial operation.
