There are three reactions to the concept of “feeding your plants”: 1) Plants feed themselves through Photosynthesis (you don't need to feed your plants!) 2) They'll pick up elements in the soil that they need for growth and development, nobody feeds the plants in a native forest. 3) What's scientifically needed for our gardens is a soil test that indicates which chemical elements are lacking in soil. This is about the Science of Fertilisers. This is the time of the year when soil temperatures are great for plant growth. Roots work over-time to extract minerals, dissolve them in water and transport them through the phloem bundles to the leaves of plants, where photosynthesis puts it all together and creates carbohydrates and chemicals that allow cell-elongation (growth). Plants use three main elements for bulk growth “food”: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and potassium (K), which are generally known as NPK (their chemical symbols). N is used to make the green stuff: leaves and chlorophyll (LAWNS, LETTUCE, SPINACH, HEDGES). P is good for root development and plant health (CARROTS, PARSNIPS, POTATOES, etc). K (potash) is for sex: flowers and fruits (TOMATOES, APPLES, STRAWBERRIES, FLOWERING PLANTS). Other elements needed for plant functioning are needed in much smaller quantities: Mg (Magnesium), S (Sulphur), Ca (Calcium), Cu (Copper), Fe (Iron), Zn (Zinc), Mn (Manganese), and a heap more of those minor “trace elements”. There are a few different types of fertilisers: 1) “General” Fertiliser – for general growth: usually something like N-P-K 7-3-6 or 12-4-13 (note how Phosphorus is usually less than the N and K). 2) Potato fertiliser: N-P-K 3-9-6, also good for carrots and parsnips. 3) Tomato or rose fertiliser - usually higher in potash (K): N-P-K 3-4-9. This helps to stimulate flower and fruit growth. Of course, you can always use the general fertiliser (which tends to be highest in Nitrogen) and simply add a few handfuls of Superphosphate (P) if you grow root crops, or handfuls of Sulphate of Potash (K) if you want to up the dose of K (potash) for flowers and fruit. Organic fertilisers usually have lower concentrations of elements, and they are often less prone to fertiliser run-off into water courses. Chicken poo (a “Natural” organic fertiliser) has a high content of Nitrogen which can burn plants – I would always send it through a cycle of composting before use. These are very general comments on how to use fertilisers; some plants require a bit more detailed knowledge or would benefit from changing fertiliser regimes in different times of the year (Cymbidium orchids have a green-growth phase to make leaves in spring and summer – followed by a flower bud initiation in autumn and flowering in winter). I use General fertiliser on my young tomatoes to get them growing up and create a strong climbing vine, before the flower buds are formed. Once they start flowering, I assist the plants with more potash to keep on making fruit – I just switch to a higher potash fertiliser such as Wet&Forget's Seaweed Tea. Dog Pee fertiliser Most homeowners let their dogs use the backyard as their own personal toilet. Urine is very high in Nitrogen. Too much nitrogen will burn the grass and create yellow patches after sensational, dark green growth (a dog will usually come back to the same patch – territorial “marking”). The concentration of nitrogen in the dog's urine depends on the type of dog, its sex, and what the animal eats. Larger dogs will pee more and cause more damage. Female dogs also tend to cause more damage than males because they squat and urinate in one concentrated patch whereas the males spray their urine over a larger area and in much smaller doses each time. Finally, diets high in protein can increase the concentration of nitrogen in the urine since protein breaks down to release nitrogen compounds.

Blackcurrants pruning Oh… good old Ribes nigrum! It's one of our favourite fruits – Juuls makes pretty mean jam out of those dark berries. You can eat them raw off the plant, but honestly… jam is the way to go as far as I'm concerned. They hail from the temperate areas of Central and Northern Europe and Asia – yep, they can deal with frosts. Blackcurrants are usually grown as multi-stemmed plants, with an open structure of 6–10 upright stems growing from the base. Established bushes (aged four years or older) are best pruned every winter to keep them fruiting strongly. This is a simple process – cut out up to a third of the oldest stems down at the base, create some space in the middle. The younger stems will then rise up to produce fruit for the next few years. Red Currants pruning is slightly different from Blackcurrants. From late winter to early spring – prune all forms of red and white currants annually while the plants are still dormant, before any signs of growth appear. Red and white currants will fruit at the base of shoots, these are known as 'laterals', that grow out from the main branches, especially the younger branches! Young = new, narrower and lighter-coloured stems; old = thicker and darker stems Prune in winter to leave between eight and ten healthy, strong main branches each year. On one-year-old bushes, prune back new shoots by half. Leave the branch with an outward-facing bud at the top. Some folk grow them as “cordons”: a bit like climbers, up a wire structure in the form of one or two main branches. The side-shoots that come off those main stems will carry the red currents. In mid-summer – prune cordons and fans to restrict growth and maintain their shape. Gooseberries pruning Just as a warning: they are prickly rascals – wear good gloves! First of all: get rid of dead branches – cut them off as low as you can. Cut out the really old branches (especially more than 5 years old) and open the inside up a bit (not too much, mind you). But if you haven't pruned your gooseberries for a long time, they may need a bit more surgery to open that bush up again. Old branches are thick and dark in colour. Taking these old sturdy, dark branches out makes the plant grow new juvenile growth that will do the job for the next few years. The idea is to replace the older stuff with newer (much more productive) growth. The younger branches (lighter in colour and thinner) can be cut back a bit (from the top) to get the plant to set up new spurs, which will produce new fruit. The whole idea is to create a nice series of fruiting areas in the inside of the plant; not too high but certainly accessible when you want to harvest the berries. Late winter is a good time to fertilise the berries with some general fertiliser, followed by a hand-full of Sulphate of Potash to remind the plants that it's time to think of flowers and setting fruit! My good mate Mike (Scottish, a builder and handy guy to have as a friend) hadn't done any of his pruning for quite a few years and asked me to help him out restoring the Blackcurrants and Gooseberries. He had made a pretty “cage” in his garden to stop the birds vandalizing the berries, and it took us about two hours to get the job done. This is what it looked like, before and after: Dense Blackcurrants before and after pruning. Gooseberries lethal and dense, versus Gooseberries taken apart by Mike; lots of air and space. Sometimes it pays to be ruthless! LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nickel briefly popped through $22,000 (10/lb) and remains in the upper end of $20,000-$22,000 where it has been sitting for the last 6 weeks. LME inventories remain low at 37-38,000 tonnes. Sulphate prices are flat and sitting at a similar discount as last week. In contrast, ore prices and NPI prices ticked higher in China – haven't seen a rebound in stainless prices yet. May be driven by rumours that China SRB is stockpiling some nickel.The big news of the week:Saudi Arabia is investing $US3.4 billion for a 10% stake in Brazil's Vale base metals business – good to see the Middle East $$ in the sector.Australia going to include nickel in the critical minerals list.Potential for Russian nickel to be subject to sanctions in UK/Europe in the upcoming year – think a lot of people choosing not to use it, but if implemented, a little more challenging given that nearly ½ of Russian nickel used to end up in Europe.Magna Metals PEA on Crean Hill/Denison project picked up earlier in the year from Sibanye – unfortunately share price was off by about 15% (but had popped up 10% in the week before). Metrics on IRR and NPV are both good at $C200 million and 22% IRR with a 15-year mine life mining 1.5-2 Mtpa of ore for a few years with an open pit and then 1.25 Mtpa underground operation with roughly 10ktpa of nickel production. However, the market reacted negatively for a couple of reasons with capital cost being the primary one:- Total of CAD$129 million including $48 million of “advanced exploration” costs, $24 million in open pit costs, and $57 million in underground capital. Think the market was expecting was going to be open pit restart and then underground so was a little surprised at the total amount.- They had some pretty splashy high-grade intervals but the life of mine grades are 0.6% nickel, 0.6% copper and over 1g/t PGMs so some investors were probably expecting some more grades to pop out.- The third reason was valuation – at $0.75/share has a market cap of $120 million versus the value for the project at $C200 million (and they also have Shakespeare) – which is a pretty healthy P/NAV in the industry sector that is struggling.A good example of challenges with high grade – can be narrower, less continuous = more drilling capital, particularly if has to be done underground.Widgie Nickel had nice step-out results and infill drilling100-metre step out Eastern Limb MEDD069 29.0m @ 1.66% Ni from 79m Incl. 5.0m @ 3.23% Ni from 88m.

FPX Nickel (TSXV:FPX; OTC:FPOCF) CEO Martin Turenne explains the results of an internal engineering scoping study evaluating the production of nickel sulphate for the electric vehicle battery supply chain from the high-grade awaruite nickel concentrate to be produced by the Company's Baptiste Nickel Project in central British Columbia. The Study highlights FPX's potential to develop the world's largest integrated nickel sulphate production facility, linking the Company directly into the EV battery supply chain via the production of low-cost, low-carbon nickel sulphate over Baptiste's projected 35-year mine life. “This scoping study demonstrates that Baptiste could become a globally significant producer of low-cost, low-carbon nickel for electric vehicles for decades to come,” commented Martin Turenne, FPX's President and CEO. “Baptiste's awaruite nickel mineralization has clear technical advantages over sulphide and laterite ores for producing nickel sulphate, offering a lower-cost, lower-carbon path from mine-to-market in the EV battery supply chain. Given its extremely high nickel content (over 60% nickel) and low levels of impurities, our high-grade nickel concentrate has distinct advantages over low-grade nickel sulphide concentrates (under 20% nickel), and is already comparable to intermediate nickel sulphate feedstocks like mixed hydroxide precipitate, mixed sulphide precipitate, or nickel matte. “We look forward to continued engagement with downstream participants in the EV battery supply chain, including chemical companies, battery makers and automotive OEMs, and expect to incorporate the results of this internal scoping study into the next stage of formal project study for Baptiste, with a new National Instrument 43-101 technical report anticipated in the first half of 2023.” 0:00 Introduction 1:42 Inflation Reduction Act increases demand for North American nickel production 4:11 Not enough nickel to meet politician's EV goals 5:47 Baptiste deposit best-case scenario production in 2029-2030 7:22 Internal Baptiste scoping study highlights 10:22 Working with downstream battery makers & automotive manufacturers 12:14 EV manufacturers need battery metal miners 14:00 FPX Nickel's valuation 15:35 FPX can become a top 5 Canadian cobalt producer 16:58 CO2 Lock Corp. spin-out company 20:06 Van target step-out drill program 22:33 Upcoming catalysts 24:31 Treasury and burn rate Company website: https://fpxnickel.com/ Press release discussed: https://fpxnickel.com/2022/09/fpx-nickel-scoping-study-outlines-development-of-worlds-largest-integrated-nickel-sulphate-operation-for-ev-battery-supply-chain-at-baptiste-project-in-british-columbia/ FPX Nickel Presentation: https://fpxnickel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FPX-Nickel-Corporate-Presentation.pdf Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 FPX Nickel is an MSE sponsor.

Trigg Mining (ASX: TMG) managing director Keren Paterson joins Small Caps to discuss the company's latest plans for its Lake Throssell sulphate of potash (SOP) project in Western Australia. The Perth-based explorer has kicked off a new field season including establishing new access tracks in preparation for air core and water bore drilling at the project. Results from these activities are expected to be used to support an estimation of Lake Throssell's initial ore reserves. Trigg also recently completed a sighter evaporation trial on brine samples with logged data to be used to establish guideline conditions for a proposed bulk evaporation program planned to commence in late July. This program is aimed at simulating operational steady-state brine evaporation and will generate salt products for trialling optional SOP processing routes. The data will be incorporated into the Lake Throssell pre-feasibility study. Meanwhile, Trigg has received an allocation of up to $180,000 under the WA government's Exploration Incentive Scheme to co-fund an air core drilling program at the Lake Yeo SOP project, south of Lake Throssell. The company hopes Lake Yeo could be a repeat of Lake Throssell, which is estimated to contain a total drainable mineral resource of 14.4 million tonnes at 4,665 milligrams per litre of potassium.

As a series of UN climate reports have warned recently, drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions – a halving over the next decade – are needed if we are to keep global warming down to manageable levels. No sign of that happening. An emergency measure to buy time that's sometimes discussed is solar geoengineering – creating an atmospheric sunscreen that reduces incoming solar heat. Sulphate compounds in volcanic gases or in industrial fumes attract water vapour to make a fine haze and have that effect. The difference would be starting a deliberate programme of injecting sulphate particles into the stratosphere. There are a host of arguments against it, including a revulsion against adding another pollutant to the atmosphere to offset the one, carbon dioxide, that's giving us problems in the first place. Another objection, outlined this week, is that it could set back the global fight against malaria - a major killer in its own right. University of Cape Town ecologist Chris Trisos tells Roland Pease what his team's modelling study revealed. Yale University neurologist Kevin Sheth talks to us about a revolution in medical scanning – small-scale MRI machines that can be wheeled to the patient's bedside. According to palaeontologist Maria McNamara, an amazingly preserved pterosaur fossil from Brazil proves that some of these flying reptiles did have feathers similar to those of birds (and some dinosaurs), and that the feathers were of different colours, possibly for mating display. Primatologist Adrian Barnett has discovered that spider monkeys in one part of the Brazilian Amazon seek out fruit, full of live maggots to eat. Why? The ancient Maya flourished in modern day Mexico and Central America for millennia. They built incredible cities and they had sophisticated knowledge of astronomy, architecture and the natural world. But although Maya culture continues to exist today, around 900 AD, many of their great settlements collapsed, and today they lie in ruins. CrowdScience listener Michael wants to know - how did the Maya sustain their populations successfully for so long? And what happened 1000 years ago that led them to abandon their cities? To find out, Melanie Brown travels to the forests of Western Belize. She visits the archaeological site of Xunantunich to learn about what life would have been like for the Maya living in what was once a prosperous city. She hears about the importance of water to the Maya way of life in this region, and their ingenious methods for capturing and storing rainfall. She meets archaeologists using lasers and drones to map Maya settlements that have lain hidden by jungle for centuries. And she discovers what material from the bottom of lakes can tell us about how the Maya faced a changing climate, which may have had huge consequences for their society.

As a series of UN climate reports have warned recently, drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions – a halving over the next decade – are needed if we are to keep global warming down to manageable levels. No sign of that happening. An emergency measure to buy time that's sometimes discussed is solar geoengineering – creating an atmospheric sunscreen that reduces incoming solar heat. Sulphate compounds in volcanic gases or in industrial fumes attract water vapour to make a fine haze and have that effect. The difference would be starting a deliberate programme of injecting sulphate particles into the stratosphere. There are a host of arguments against it, including a revulsion against adding another pollutant to the atmosphere to offset the one, carbon dioxide, that's giving us problems in the first place.

Agrimin (ASX: AMN) chief executive officer Mark Savich joins Small Caps to discuss the company's plans to produce sulphate of potash (SOP) from its Mackay project in Western Australia. Following the recently announced offtake agreement with US-based Gavilon Fertiliser, Agrimin has now locked-in offtake agreements for 70% of its planned SOP production. Mr Savich said the US represents an important market for the company.Article:https://smallcaps.com.au/agrimin-signs-third-long-term-offtake-deal-mackay-sulphate-of-potash/For more information on Agrimin:https://smallcaps.com.au/stocks/AMN/
Precious metals mining company Sibanye-Stillwater on Friday highlighted the quality elevation of its price-discounted nickel sulphate crystals to price-premium battery grade through the introduction of the Thakadu Battery Materials operation into the Base Metal Refinery in North West province. The Thakadu process, Sibanye-Stillwater pointed out, also recovers cobalt, previously lost to the crude nickel sulphate crystals. Thakadu sources crude nickel sulphate crystals from Sibanye-Stillwater and shares in proceeds in a profit-share arrangement. In a nutshell, Thakadu adds value to what was being disposed of at considerably lower value. Presenting on its South African platinum group metal (PGM) operations during a Bank of America conference virtual site visit, the Johannesburg- and New York-listed Sibanye-Stillwater displayed a slide on Thakadu under the heading of “other metals contributing to the bottom line”. Mining Weekly can report that Thakadu, operating as an independent startup, succeeded in turning a PGMs-linked nickel solution into sought-after battery material that is helping to make the world a greener place. Crude nickel sulphate crystals were previously sold at a discount to the London Metal Exchange (LME). That has been reversed with the Thakadu-processed higher-priced battery grade nickel sulphate now adding to revenue generation. Sibanye-Stillwater described the battery grade nickel sulphate as forming part of its green metals strategy. Mining Weekly reported in April 2021 that the Thakadu team of local battery material achievers were planning first-mover advances into new geographies. At that stage, Thakadu, headed by CEO Ruli Diseko, had a pipeline of new projects in place that would involve the use of locally developed intellectual property, proven process technology and first-mover advantage to fast-track other assets under development in Southern Africa and North America. In what is a story of world-class local innovation, Thakadu created its own proprietary process at Mintek, working with a team of scientists. Thakadu identified an opportunity at the bottom of the cycle, borrowed money and succeeded in building its plant while facing considerable headwinds. When Thakadu began investing that borrowed money in its plant in Marikana from 2016, its counterparty, the then Lonmin Platinum, was in the midst of major financial strain. Thakadu at the stage of the Mining Weekly report, had an installed capacity of 30 000 t/y of nickel sulphate and was targeting an average steady state of about 25 000 t/y. The nickel sulphate solution piped for processing from the BMR was formerly crystalised and sold as lower intermediate. As a producer of high-quality, high-purity battery-grade nickel, Thakadu receives a business-to-business price, with customers in China, Japan, Korea, Europe and Latin America giving a price premium over the LME's nickel price. Thakadu has extracted advantaged economics out of processing at source, within a long-standing PGMs processing environment. When the cathode-focused product gets to export destinations, development into precursor materials requires even more advanced chemistry. Depending on the chemistry, it could become, for example, nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide, or nickel-cobalt-manganese, at the different combinations used in different batteries.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Lorena: Hi Doc! I'm a 23 year old and it's been 3 weeks since I got the virus and my hair started falling dramatically. I was very healthy prior getting it: DNS, omega 3, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, collagen, vitamin C and probiotic every day. Even added NAC, quercetin and reishi mushroom to my daily supplement protocol. Exercised 4-5x a week, eat an organic and 90% plant-based diet. I'm very diligent with my protein and always make sure there is about 20-30g of protein in each meal. I was very surprised on how hard the virus hit me, I thought that it wouldn't affect me much due to being so young and healthy... Anyways my questions are: 1. Why do you think my hair is falling so much after the virus? I'm taking around 50mg of zinc everyday 2. I still have a lot of mucus stuck on my chest and I keep coughing. I thought this should have been gone by now. Any advice? 3. My taste and smell are not back yet, any advice? 4. My fitness is still far from what is used to be. Is this normal Melanie:What's the reason as to why your health coaching team only work with children above 3? BTW your work is amazing, I recommend this podcast to everyone! Aleita: I am suffering from chronic dry mouth. I've had trouble with it within this last year. I thought maybe doing the cleanse would help. But I am on my second week and still no relief. What podcast would help me gain some information? Yeysebell: Hi, your podcast is so amazing. Thank you So here it is. Back in country (Cuba) pharmacist prepare a remedy for the body to clear impurities and other agents that cause a reaction on people's health. It's magnesium sulphate at 33% (it is diluted in water) I would love to know why it works. I had one time like cystic acne that happened over night literally. Woke up one day with huge pimples everywhere. After taking that, which it was an entire littler (taking like a shot every morning) everything cleared in 15 days. Not just that, I also had te glow of a baby and that Qi. I looked much younger than what I was (I was only like 17 at that time). My brother who used to have a extrema reaction to insects bites and other allergens, wasn't ever again so allergic after taking it as well. He is now 33 and even the biggest cut heals super fast. A little more, it's used to treat preeclampsia as well there. Thank you so much in advance Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, how can someone reduce die off symptoms when using biocidin to kill mold, candida and h pylori? Estefania: Hello, My name is Estefania Ramirez, I am 38 years young. I was born in Mexico, but I currently live in Spain. I began intermittent fasting in mid 2017. I began with 12 hours, now I do 15 hours. I fast, but do not have a low caloric diet. My ingest is mainly plant based and seafood, I try to avoid meat. Also, I do eat other sources, besides vegetable, CHOs. I do avoid simple sugars. In mid 2018 my menstrual cycle began to disappear. I am currently in hormone replacement therapy. I do not have any other side effects, only amenorrhea. My lab tests have always been normal. I had hypothiroidism when I was 14/15 years young. After taking levothyroxine for a 3 years, my physician cleared me off the medication. Even when I'm under medical supervision, I would love to hear the opinion of Dr. Cabral. Thank you in advance!

Today we are talking about Sodium Sulphate (Nat Sulph), which is tissue salt # 10. To learn about the first 9 tissue salts and why tissue salts are an incredible support to our bodies, head back to episode number 8 where we began this fascinating series. Nat Sulph is the 3rd Natrium (Sodium) Tissue Salt that we are talking about and is responsible for excretion. The other two tissue salts we have spoken about are: Nat Mur which helps us if we are too dry or too moistNat Phos which helps us if we are too greasy and with pain How Nat Sulph can help us: Excreting extra fluid Sodium Sulphate helps us to get rid of (excrete) extra fluid. Detoxification It also helps with decreasing toxicity in the body by shifting things around the body. Sodium Sulphate is connected to the liver and if you think about how detoxification is the major function of the liver you can connect the dots that Nat Sulph is going to help you with detoxification. Nat Sulph is an extremely important tissue salt because of its detoxification properties. As we keep on saying, our skin is like a big mouth that continually gobbles up the toxins in our environment and we are constantly breathing in pollutants. We are of course, also consuming many toxins in the food, drinks and medication as well. There are a range of supplements to support the detoxification process (as it is complicated) including Glutathione and liver enzymes but Nat Sulph is an important one. Overindulgence Nat Sulph can be used both in acute (short term) and chronic (long term) situations. For example, if you overindulge in chocolate or cheesecake and you are feeling a deep pain or heaviness under your ribs on the right hand side (where your liver is located). In this situation you can take two tablets every 5 minutes, for 15 minutes, until the feeling subsides. Or you can take two tablets every 15 minutes for one hour. If you are finding that you are getting a lot of indigestion and heaviness but you are not getting vomiting or diarrhoea as we discussed when we talked about tissue salt #8, you will find tissue salt #10 helpful. Coffee, Alcohol and Medication consumption If you drink coffee regularly or take medication, your liver is working hard for you on a continuous basis to detox these things out. Nat Sulph will support your liver to perform better. Recommendation I often prescribe a tonic called Ningxia to patients along with Nat Sulph as they work together beautifully to detoxify the system. Who can use Nat Sulph? Tissue salt #10 can be used for babies through to the elderly and sick people and it has a very gentle action. How do you know you need Nat Sulph? Taste and tongue You will know because you will have a bitter taste in your mouth and a result of the excess toxins being excreted via your breath. A greenish brown/yellow swelling or coating of the tongue indicates toxicity and liver problems. Face A yellow-greenish tinge on your face, especially around the eyes is a common side effect of liver dysfunction. You may also notice ‘bags' under the eye from fluid retention, an inflamed nose look (like someone has pinched the end of the nose!) and greyish chin. Fluid retention can also lead to a ‘double chin' look. Digestion and bowel movements You will also find that when you eat you will not only get a little bit of niggly pain but you will also notice that your bowel movements change and you can experience foul smelling gas (caused by the putrification of the contents of your bowel). Skin Changes The skin is an organ of elimination and if you have too many toxins in your body and/or your liver is not functioning properly the toxins will be pushed out through the skin for elimination. As they pass through your membranes, they agitate the skin causing many problems like blisters or eczema (with a papilia presentation) as well as fluid oozing through the skin. When treating skin conditions we crush the tablets and combine them with other appropriate tissue salts depending on how the skin looks and feels (see previous episodes for detailed descriptions) and sprinkle onto the affected area. Bladder Your urine can get a bit stingy when you have too many toxins in the body. Hand and feet swelling Nat Sulph is all about the excretion of fluid and as such if there is swelling it works to excrete excess. Head Injuries If there is excess swelling and it is not reducing, Nat Sulph can be helpful. Diverticulitis A great support, particularly when alternating with tissue salt #3 and in conjunction with the appropriate supportive diet. Emotional There is a tendency towards depression (or feeling low generally) when Nat Sulph is needed in particular when the weather is cold or wet or if you have had a head injury.

Danakali Limited (ASX: DNK, LSE: DNK) (Danakali, or the Company) is an ASX- and LSE-listed potash company focused on the development of the Colluli Sulphate of Potash Project (Colluli or the Project). The Project is 100% owned by the Colluli Mining Share Company (CMSC), a 50:50 joint venture between Danakali and the Eritrean National Mining Corporation (ENAMCO).The Project is located in the Danakil Depression region of Eritrea, East Africa, and is ~75km from the Red Sea coast, making it one of the most accessible potash deposits globally. Mineralisation within the Colluli resource commences at just 16m, making it the world's shallowest known potash deposit. The resource is amenable to open cut mining, which allows higher overall resource recovery to be achieved, is generally safer than underground mining, and is highly advantageous for modular growth. The Company has completed a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the production of potassium sulphate, otherwise known as Sulphate of Potash or SOP. SOP is a chloride free, specialty fertiliser which carries a substantial price premium relative to the more common potash type; potassium chloride (or MOP). Economic resources for production of SOP are geologically scarce. The unique composition of the Colluli resource favours low energy input, high potassium yield conversion to SOP using commercially proven technology. One of the key advantages of the resource is that the salts are present in solid form (in contrast with production of SOP from brines) which reduces infrastructure costs and substantially reduces the time required to achieve full production capacity. The resource is favourably positioned to supply the world's fastest growing markets. A binding take-or-pay offtake agreement has been confirmed with EuroChem Trading GmbH (EuroChem) for up to 100% (minimum 87%) of Colluli Module I SOP production. Development Finance Institutions, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank), have obtained formal credit approval to provide CMSC with US$200M in senior debt finance. The credit documentation was executed in December 2019, allowing drawdown of CMSC senior debt on satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. This represents the majority of funding required for the development and construction of the Colluli. AFC has also made a strategic equity investment in Danakali of US$21.5M (A$31.8M) allowing the commencement of the development for the Project. The Company's vision is to bring Colluli into production using the principles of risk management, resource utilisation and modularity, using the starting module (Module I) as a growth platform to develop the resource to its full potential.https://www.share-talk.com/neil-gregson-non-executive-director-danakali-limited-dnk-asx-l-interview/
Today we are talking about Potassium Sulphate (Kali Sulph), which is tissue salt # 6. To learn about the first 5 tissue salts and why tissue salts are an incredible support to our bodies, head back to episode number 8 where we began this fascinating series. Potassium Sulphate is responsible for the third stage of inflammation. If the body has lost its capacity to bounce back from stages 1 or 2 of inflammation it progresses into the 3rd stage. For example in the case of a cough, the cough quickly becomes purulent (i.e. yellow and thick with a putrid smell), expectoration (coughing it up) becomes a little difficult and the airways become infected. This is when we need potassium sulphate. Dissolve 6 to 10 tablets of the tissue salt into a bottle or glass of water and consume over 30 minutes (swishing around the mouth before swallowing). Repeat this 2 or 3 times a day. This is a wonderful way to create a quick shift. Potassium Sulphate is also a great tissue salt to have in the case of chronic sinus conditions. When we look at chronic sinus issues we are looking at a condition which has gone beyond creating an infection. In these cases we quite often see the secretions from the nose getting infected as well. They become green, thick and smelly. You may also see at this stage, stripes of bright red in the secretions which shows that there is some irritation of the membranes and they are slightly bleeding on the mucosa. If this is the case, ferrum phosphate (tissue salt #3) will be helpful as discussed in a previous episode. Is potassium sulphate enough at this stage of inflammation? No. Hopefully you are already using tissue salts 3 and 4 (helpful for stages 1 and 2 of inflammation) and then you can add # 6. If you put these in place quickly when symptoms first appear you will find that you can take great control of your body. The key is that as you are getting better you reduce the quantity and frequency of what you are doing. Sometimes we leave these simple support measures too long to implement and in these cases you may need further support and intervention from a professional if symptoms are persisting or serious. In the clinic we will prescribe isopathy, homeopathic or essential oils for additional support. Do we require antibiotics for these conditions? No. Antibiotics are what we require when we have a serious bacterial condition and we do not know what else to do. Of course, having medical advice in these cases is very important as some bacterial infections can move very quickly from almost nothing into a situation where your life is at risk (although these are rare). You will find that you do not require antibiotics for everyday flus and colds if you have a healthy diet, exercise regularly and support your immune system throughout the year. Recognising a deficiency of Potassium Sulphate When you are deficient in potassium sulphate you will get a slight yellowish tinge over your face. This appears in a triangular shape going from the corners of the eyes to the mouth. Potassium sulphate plays a huge role in cleansing skin conditions as well as supporting the liver and pancreas. For this reason, tissue salt #6 is phenomenal for supporting conditions where the liver and/or pancreas is not in good shape (e.g. blood sugar problems). In fact there is a cleanse we sometimes prescribe using all the sulphates, Nat Sulph ( # 10), Kali Sulph (#6) and Calc Sulph (#12), alternating 2 off each throughout the day for 6 weeks. This is a cleansing ritual that can begin supporting your skin in general. In simple terms, anything with an infective type of character (including things like inflamed gums and abscess), you will find potassium sulphate to be helpful.

Trigg Mining (ASX: TMG) managing director Keren Paterson joins Small Caps to discuss the company’s exploration at its Lake Throssell sulphate of potash project in Western Australia. Drilling has restarted with 22 holes to be completed, with results to underpin a resource once all results have been received and interpreted. The company is targeting a palaeovalley that extends more than 33km in strike.
The Science of Fertilisers This is the time of the year when soil temperatures are great for plant growth. Roots work over-time to extract minerals, dissolve them in water and transport them through the phloem bundles to the leaves of plants. The photosynthesis puts it all together and creates carbohydrates and chemicals that allow cell-elongation (growth). Plants use three main elements are bulk growth “food”: Nitrogen, Phosphorous and potassium (K), which are generally known as NPK (their chemical symbols). N is used to make green stuff: leaves and Chlorophyll (LAWNS, LETTUCE, SPINACH, HEDGES) P is good for root development and plant health (CARROTS, PARSNIPS, POTATOES, etc) K (potash) is for sex: flowers and fruits (TOMATOES, APPLES, STRAWBERRIES, FLOWERING PLANTS) Other elements needed for plant functioning are needed in much smaller quantities: Mg (Magnesium) S (Sulphur) Ca (Calcium) Cu (Copper) Fe (Iron) Zn (Zinc) Mn (Manganese) and a heap more of those minor “trace elements”. There are a few different types of fertiliser: 1) “General” Fertiliser – for general growth: usually something like N-P-K 7-3-6 or 12-4-13 (note how Phosphorus is usually less than the N and K 2) Potato fertiliser: N-P-K 3-9-6 also good for carrots and parsnips 3) Tomato or rose fertiliser usually higher in potash (K): N-P-K 3-4-9 This helps to stimulate flower and fruit growth Of course you can always use the general fertiliser (which tends to be highest in Nitrogen) and simply add a few hand-fulls of Superphosphate (P) if you grow root crop, or hand-fulls of Sulphate of Potash (K) if you want to up the dose of K (potash) for flowers and fruit. Organic fertilisers usually have lower concentrations of elements and they are often less prone to fertiliser run-off. These are very general comments on how to use fertilisers; some plants require a bit more detailed knowledge or would benefit from changing fertiliser regimes in different times of the year (Cymbidium orchids have a green-growth phase to make leaves in spring and summer – followed by a flower bud initiation in autumn and flowering in winter…) Dog Pee and Lawns Most homeowners let their dogs use the backyard as their own personal toilet. Urine is very high in Nitrogen. Too much nitrogen will burn the grass and create yellow patches after sensational, dark green growth. A dog will usually come back to the same patch – territorial “marking”. The concentration of nitrogen in the dog’s urine depends on the type of dog, its sex, and what the animal eats. Larger dogs will pee more and cause more damage. Female dogs also tend to cause more damage than males because they squat and urinate in one concentrated patch whereas the males spray their urine over a larger area and in much smaller doses each time. Finally, diets high in protein can increase the concentration of nitrogen in the urine since protein breaks down to release nitrogen compounds. There are two ways to combat the pee damage: change the nitrogen concentration of your dog’s urine or focus on the lawn. 1) Feed your dog with lower protein content so there is less protein, and subsequently less nitrogen, in the urine. You can also train your dog to pee elsewhere!! 2) you can deal with the lawn directly by spraying the patches with water or treating them with gypsum pellets (made up of calcium sulphate hydrate); In any case: hen a dog kills grass or small shrubs by frequently spraying it with nitrogenous urine, you can be assured that your plants are not killed by N-P-K, but by K-9-P.LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE

You may have heard that eating too much fish may put you at risk of mercury poisoning, but how does mercury get into fish in the first place? Hosts Gregory Robinson and Yimin Chen speak with biologist Jennifer Blythe about the ecology of organic mercury - from the peat-loving, Sulphate-reducing bacteria that produce it, down to the trout on your dinner table. Along the way, we'll also hear about bog bodies, black flies, and other exciting stories of field work in the marshlands of Ontario. Produced by Laura Munoz
