All the Key Drivers in Place

  • Phosphate demand is underpinned by population growth and driven by food production efficiencies

  • Two high value‐in‐use deposits on a 120km trend that is mostly unexplored.

  • Large markets in US and Europe, growth market in Brazil, diminishing high grade deposits in north and south America.

  • Essential experience in Industrial Minerals and a track record attracting major partners in Africa, GDF Suez, Lonmin, ABG

Phosphate Demand Outpaces Population Growth

“Global phosphate consumption is forecast to grow by 45% by 2030” “7.5% decrease in a average P2O5 concentrate grade from 1990‐2011.”

High Grade Trend

  • High grade ‐ 24‐25% P2O5

  • Readily upgraded to >32% by screening

  • Shallow less than 50m

  • Low strip ratio – less than 2:1

  • Free digging sediments

  • Adjacent to sealed highways and power lines

  • Process water nearby

  • Sparsely populated

Exploration Upside

  • 60 kilometre trend containing virgin discoveries at Chivovo and Cacata remains virtually unexplored.

  • Geochemical sampling has been shown to be effective at Cacata but not used regionally

  • Minbos has claims over similar deposits and strike length in the continuation of the trend the DRC
