Lake Cadi Potash Project. Progress and final reports for the period January 1982 to 10/2/83.
To evaluate potash potential, brine samples were collected from below the dry bed of Lake Cadibarrawirracanna, and analysed for Ca, Mg, Na, K, B, HCO3, C1, total phosphate and sulphate. Potassium contents were too low to be of interest.-
