Once we have confirmation of approval of patent for the " possible phase two development initiative" Cambridge process this stock will rock..green rock. With patent in hand AMZ will begin pilot plant for KCI and SOP production testing.
Amazon has over $17 Million in cash after successfully completing financings recently announced. The two largest new shareholders are based in Latin America and both have significant expertise in the region’s fertilizer and farming sectors.
New technology to extract potash from verdete slate
Amazon Mining Holding has filed a patent application in the UK for the production of conventional potash product, muriate of potash (KCl) and sulphate of potash (SOP) from verdete slate of the Cerrado Verde Project. The technology was developed by Dr. Derek Fray, Professor and Director of Research at the University of Cambridge. The Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, sponsored by Amazon has invented a method for reacting verdete slate with a simple mixture of salts to form water-soluble potash. The reactions occur at moderate temperatures of 800-1,000oC and most reagents are regenerated in process. The route allows for the production of potassium sulphate (SOP) and muriate of potash (KCl)<b/>. The company’s primary focus and immediate goal remains the development of its Cerrado Verde potash property and bringing its ThermoPotash fertiliser product into production.
Amazon continues, in parallel, to develop a method for producing a conventional potash export commodity. The next step in the KCl and SOP product development process will be to initiate studies for a pilot plant,b/>. The current processing concept is simple and straight-forward and the company believes it can be scaled up to industrial levels.
