Notes to Editors
Emmerson is focused on advancing the Khemisset project
("Khemisset" or the "Project") in Morocco into a low cost, high
margin supplier of potash, and the first primary producer on the
African continent. With an initial 19-year life of mine, the
development of Khemisset is expected to deliver long-term
investment and financial contributions to Morocco including the
creation of permanent employment, taxation and a plethora of
ancillary benefits. As a UK-Moroccan partnership, the Company is
committed to bringing in significant international investment over
the life of the mine.
Morocco is widely recognised as one of the leading phosphate
producers globally, ranking third in the world in terms of tonnes
produced annually, and the development of this mine is set to
consolidate its position as the most important fertiliser producer
in Africa. The Project has a large JORC Resource Estimate (2012) of
537Mt @ 9.24% K2O, with significant exploration potential, and is
perfectly located to support the expected growth of African
fertiliser consumption whilst also being located on the doorstep of
European markets. The need to feed the world's rapidly increasing
population is driving demand for potash and Khemisset is well
placed to benefit from the opportunities this presents. The
Feasibility Study released in June 2020 indicated the Project has
the potential to be among the lowest capital cost development stage
potash projects in the world and also, as a result of its location,
one of the highest margin projects. This delivered outstanding
economics, including a post-tax NPV8 of approximately US$1.4
billion using industry expert Argus' price forecasts, and the spot
price for granular MOP fertiliser has since risen, further
enhancing the valuations.
