The World’s End Project is located close to existing major infrastructure being only 15km south west from the historic copper mining town of Burra in South Australia.
The tenement area covers the historic Fairview Phosphate Mine which was last mined in 1903 when it yielded 100 t of hand-picked phosphate ore grading 25% P2O5.
Phosphate rock is an essential input into the production of phosphate based fertiliser and recent demand has seen the price of phosphate rock increase from approximately US$47/tonne in 2005 to current prices of around US$350 – 400/tonne.
This tenement has been underexplored in recent times with previous explorers focusing on the uranium potential of the tenement.
