Agrimin has planned to advance the development of its 100%-owned Mackay Sulphate of Potash (SOP) Project in Western Australia with the procured investment. The remaining amount will be used for working capital requirements.
After the equity raising, the company has planned to conduct planned activities for pre-feasibility study (PFS), native title negotiations and environmental studies.
