AWP president Pat Avery is scheduled to speak today at the Phoenix Country Club. AWP has proposed developing an underground mine capable of producing 2 - 2.5 million tons of potash per year. They have an agreement to sell 500,000 tons per year for a decade to a Chinese company. The cost of a new mine has been estimated at about $1.4 billion, and at current prices, the mine output would generate around $1 billion annually.
Not surprising this is capturing the interest of Arizona's mining and business community.
