Interview with Luis da Silva, CEO of South Harz Potash (ASX: SHP)

South Harz Potash Limited (formerly Davenport Resources Ltd.) was founded in 2015 in Australia and specializes in the development of potash mining projects. The executive managers and members of the board have decades of experience in potash exploration and mining around the world.

Südharz Kali GmbH, which is 100% owned by South Harz Potash, holds three perpetual mining licences, Ohmgebirge, Ebelebenand Mühlhausen-Nohra, and two exploration licences, Küllstedt and Gräfentonna, in the South Harz Potash District in north-western Thuringia, central Germany.

The portfolio of German licences represents Western Europe’s most significant potash resource, comprised of high-grade Muriate of Potash (MOP) Inferred Mineral Resources (JORC 2012) and valuable potassium and magnesium sulphate minerals at relatively shallow depths.

South Harz has identified at least four potential project areas across its licences, with Ohmgebirge identified as our flagship project due to its relative shallowness, high level of capital efficiency and potential to use existing proximate vertical shafts during construction.

Permitting is already well advanced, and the proposed mining and processing methods for Ohmgebirge and Nohra-Elende are environmentally conscious.
