CLIENT FEATURE: Dusolo (DSF: TSX-V) Capitalizing on Brazil’s Growing Demand for Fertilizer

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:51 AM on Thursday, November 26th, 2015

BY BEING A DOMESTIC FERTILIZER PRODUCER, DUSOLO IS ABLE TO OFFER A PREMIUM PRODUCT AT A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COST

  • Direct Application Natural Fertilizer (DANF) product is in demand in the region
  • Flagship asset, the Bomfim Project, is 100% owned and located in one of the world’s fastest growing agrarian regions
  • Bomfim Processing Plant operating at full capacity
  • On track to produce at least ~100,000 tonnes of DANF in 2015
  • Sales contracts in place for 2015 planting season: 81,100 tonnes for ~C$8.5 million
  • Starting to generate revenue

MANY NEAR TERM CATALYSTS EXPECTED

  • Entering into additional DANF product sales contracts
  • Doubling capacity at our processing facility to 160,000 tonnes per year
  • Updating the National Instrument 43-101 Resource Estimate to include results from the 2015 drill campaign – Recent drill results confirm presence of additional high-grade phosphate mineralization beyond areas identified in initial resource estimate
  • Third Party Economic Evaluation of Operations Planned for 2015
  • Strong Financial Backing

Company entered into an agreement with Mineração Batalha e Participações Ltda. to acquire the São Roque Phosphate Project in southeast Brazil.

The Project’s highlights include:

  • Located within the agribusiness region of Minas Gerais and São Paulo states, with many coffee, orange and sugar-cane (ethanol) plantations in the surrounding area.
  • At surface, high-grade phosphate mineralization has been identified with multiple grab samples from outcrops confirming >20% P2O5.
  • Geophysics anomalies very well defined and confirmed by surface sampling.
  • Close proximity to infrastructure, including roads, rail, water and power, and existing fertilizer producers. City of Piumhi is 40 km from the Project.
  • 70% interest earned through commitment to invest in exploration and project development. No direct payment to JV Partner.

BRAZIL’S DOMESTIC FERTILIZER SUPPLY DOES NOT MEET CURRENT DEMANDS

  • World’s largest exporter of sugar, coffee and orange juice and the 2nd largest in soybean exports
  • Brazil imports more than 50% of phosphate fertilizers used overseas
  • Significant transportation and logistic-related costs are added to imported fertilizers
  • DuSolo’s is increasing the supply of domestically produced fertilizers
  • Helping the country achieve agricultural self-sufficiency

FLAGSHIP ASSET LOCATED IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST AGRICULTURAL REGIONS

  • The Cerrado region is home to one of the largest arable landmasses in the world
  • Majority of future increases in global food production is expected to come from this region
  • The tropical rains in the Cerrado wash away nutrients, leaving the soil poor for farming and needing to be fertilized frequently
  • Cerrado is land locked, therefore making fertilizer imports very expensive

 

STRONG DEMAND FOR DANF EXISTS IN THE REGION

Within a 500 km radius of DuSolo’s processing facility:

  • 1.2 million tonnes of phosrock is being consumed every year
  • 585 farms and agricultural centres exist
  • DANF consumption is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6%
  • No domestic production

DuSolo Acquires New High-Grade Phosphate Project

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:49 PM on Wednesday, September 9th, 2015

  • Entered into an agreement with Mineração Batalha e Participações Ltda. to acquire the São Roque Phosphate Project in southeast Brazil
  • At surface, high-grade phosphate mineralization has been identified with multiple grab samples from outcrops confirming >20% P2O5.
  • Geophysics anomalies very well defined and confirmed by surface sampling.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Sept. 9, 2015) – DuSolo Fertilizers Inc., (TSX VENTURE:DSF) (“DuSolo” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (“the Agreement“) with Mineração Batalha e Participações Ltda. (“the JV Partner“) to acquire the São Roque Phosphate Project (“São Roque” or “the Project”) in southeast Brazil. The Project’s highlights include:

  • Located within the agribusiness region of Minas Gerais and São Paulo states, with many coffee, orange and sugar-cane (ethanol) plantations in the surrounding area.
  • At surface, high-grade phosphate mineralization has been identified with multiple grab samples from outcrops confirming >20% P2O5.
  • Geophysics anomalies very well defined and confirmed by surface sampling.
  • Close proximity to infrastructure, including roads, rail, water and power, and existing fertilizer producers. City of Piumhi is 40 km from the Project.
  • 70% interest earned through commitment to invest in exploration and project development. No direct payment to JV Partner.

“São Roque is an excellent addition to the Company’s portfolio of projects. With this acquisition, DuSolo has phosphate assets throughout the Cerrado, one of the world’s fastest growing agricultural regions,” said Darren Bowden, Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the current downturn in Brazilian fertilizer demand, the Company remains optimistic about demand recovering in the mid to long term and therefore continues to pursue its expansion strategy within Brazil.”

Under the terms of the Agreement, DuSolo will carry out an estimated C$100,000 drill program in lieu of payment to the JV Partner. The Company will drill a minimum of 200 meters to test the thickness and extension of the mineralized profile. Contingent upon receipt of positive results, the parties will then form a partnership with participation interest allocated at 70% to DuSolo and 30% to the JV Partner. The newly formed partnership will carry out an exploration program aimed at defining a resource that can be added to DuSolo’s future development pipeline. The cost of exploration will be funded in full by DuSolo, while any future production costs will be distributed amongst the partners in accordance with their participation interest. At any given time, DuSolo can choose to end the partnership or alternatively, exercise a call option to acquire the remaining 30% for a cash payment of US$3 million.

ABOUT DUSOLO

DuSolo Fertilizers Inc. is focused on developing a fully integrated process to produce phosphate based fertilizers within the Cerrado region of Brazil as part of a nationwide effort, incentivized by the government, to increase supply of domestically sourced fertilizers and achieve agricultural self sufficiency.

DuSolo Provides Corporate Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:17 PM on Tuesday, August 25th, 2015

  • “In the coming months, the Company plans to implement a number of sales and production strategies in an attempt to increase revenues, while managing its production costs. DuSolo’s long term focus remains unchanged, as we continue to build the Company into a domestic Brazilian phosphate producer.”

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Aug. 25, 2015) – DuSolo Fertilizers Inc., (TSX VENTURE:DSF)(OTC PINK:ELGSF)(FRANKFURT:E6R) (“DuSolo” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide a corporate update for its Brazilian operations.

After a longer than anticipated rainy season, the Company has been excavating and processing Direct Application Natural Fertilizer (“DANF”) product at Bomfim since June. DANF product sales, however, have been less than anticipated due to soft fertilizer demand in Brazil. This is a result of weaker crop prices, the lower purchasing power of the Real and delayed credit availability from the government to farmers and agri-businesses.

“In light of the current market conditions in Brazil, and the effect it has had on the Company’s performance, DuSolo’s new board and management have undertaken a strategic review of all operations,” said Darren Bowden, CEO of DuSolo. “In the coming months, the Company plans to implement a number of sales and production strategies in an attempt to increase revenues, while managing its production costs. DuSolo’s long term focus remains unchanged, as we continue to build the Company into a domestic Brazilian phosphate producer.”

The following strategic initiatives will be undertaken:

  • Drawdown of Bridge Loan facility. Funds have already been received and will be used as working capital as DuSolo begins to accept forward sales contracts.
  • Plans to reconfigure Bomfim Processing Plant in order to increase DANF product output without installing additional hammer mills, saving the Company C$400,000.
  • Looking at alternative sales strategies, including forward sales contracts and expanding sales into other regions in Brazil.

Sales

Year to Date, 2015, DuSolo produced and sold the following amounts of DANF product (all figures are in tonnes):

Mine Production Plant Production Delivery of Sales To Be Delivered
52,931 29,939 7,373 3,363

Of the 81,100 tonnes in signed commitments, approximately 3,290 tonnes of product has already delivered, and an additional 3,363 tonnes will be delivered in the short term. All of these contracts are still in good standing, though buyers have been slow to perform due to the market conditions described above.

To smooth upcoming sales revenue, the Company will implement a number of sales strategies in order to ensure that DANF product sales continue, including accepting forward sales contracts, while continuing to receive proceeds from sales on delivery.

Operations

The material processed to date has come from the Santiago project (“Santiago”). Further analysis and characterization has confirmed that mineralization at Santiago is softer and more fine that previously thought. This has led to the primary screen being under utilized and the secondary screen being over loaded causing a production bottleneck. DuSolo, at minimal cost, will reconfigure the Bomfim Processing Plant (“the Plant”) to better handle this material.

The reconfiguration includes a plate change in the existing hammer mills to increase final product top size from 1.5mm to 2mm, which has already been completed. In addition, the screen decks will be resized to redirect material to different stockpiles, reducing rehandle and increasing primary and secondary screen efficiency. Once both of these changes are in place, the Plant is expected to achieve a sustainable throughput of 80 tonnes per hour versus the current maximum of 60 tonnes per hour.

The optimization of the Plant will allow for higher production, without having to install the additional hammer mills as previously planned. This will result in a C$400,000 savings for DuSolo. The Company will complete the reconfiguration in September, and expects DANF product inventory stockpiled to meet September sales demand. The Plant is expected to recommence production with the new screens and mills for a short period in October in order to test the upgrades and build sufficient product stock to meet low season sales.

Other Phosphate Opportunities

DuSolo maintains its focus on growth through building its operations, as well as assessing new phosphate opportunities in other regions of Brazil. The Company is of the opinion that current market conditions in the fertilizer market are temporary and are likely to improve in the mid to long term. It is therefore evaluating investment opportunities created by the weakness in phosphate demand, and looking to expand into new agricultural areas in Brazil as part of its strategy to become a mid-tier Brazilian fertilizer producer.

ABOUT DUSOLO

DuSolo Fertilizers Inc. is focused on developing a fully integrated process to produce phosphate based fertilizers within the Cerrado region of Brazil as part of a nationwide effort, incentivized by the government, to increase supply of domestically sourced fertilizers and achieve agricultural self sufficiency.

The Company’s shares are publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol DSF, on the OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol ELGSF and on Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol E6R.

  • Flagship asset, the Bomfim Project, is 100% owned and located in one of the world’s fastest growing agrarian regions
  • Bomfim Processing Plant operating at full capacity
  • On track to produce at least ~100,000 tonnes of DANF in 2015
  • Sales contracts in place for 2015 planting season: 81,100 tonnes for ~C$8.5 million
  • Starting to generate revenue

MANY NEAR TERM CATALYSTS EXPECTED

  • Entering into additional DANF product sales contracts
  • Doubling capacity at our processing facility to 160,000 tonnes per year
  • Updating the National Instrument 43-101 Resource Estimate to include results from the 2015 drill campaign – Recent drill results confirm presence of additional high-grade phosphate mineralization beyond areas identified in initial resource estimate
  • Third Party Economic Evaluation of Operations Planned for 2015
  • Strong Financial Backing

BRAZIL’S DOMESTIC FERTILIZER SUPPLY DOES NOT MEET CURRENT DEMANDS

  • World’s largest exporter of sugar, coffee and orange juice and the 2nd largest in soybean exports
  • Brazil imports more than 50% of phosphate fertilizers used overseas
  • Significant transportation and logistic-related costs are added to imported fertilizers
  • DuSolo’s is increasing the supply of domestically produced fertilizers
  • Helping the country achieve agricultural self-sufficiency

FLAGSHIP ASSET LOCATED IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST AGRICULTURAL REGIONS

  • The Cerrado region is home to one of the largest arable landmasses in the world
  • Majority of future increases in global food production is expected to come from this region
  • The tropical rains in the Cerrado wash away nutrients, leaving the soil poor for farming and needing to be fertilized frequently
  • Cerrado is land locked, therefore making fertilizer imports very expensive

 

STRONG DEMAND FOR DANF EXISTS IN THE REGION

Within a 500 km radius of DuSolo’s processing facility:

  • 1.2 million tonnes of phosrock is being consumed every year
  • 585 farms and agricultural centres exist
  • DANF consumption is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6%
  • No domestic production

Brazilian and North American fertilizer demand to rally

20140514-dusolo200

  • Global fertilizer demand set to recover in the second half of 2015
  • PotashCorp reported that it expects the recent rise of global planted acreages to slow
  • Brazilian fertilizer purchases “are expected to accelerate in the third quarter and could lead to a more condensed delivery period”

Global fertilizer demand is set to recover in the second half of 2015, as farmer demand from North America and Brazil recovers, Canadian producer PotashCorp has said.

PotashCorp also reported that it expects the recent rise of global planted acreages to slow, as agricultural commodity markets cool.

North American potash demand is expected to rise as farmers address a mounting deficit in application.

Brazilian potash demand is expected to accelerate ahead of the country’s main planting season, helped by a recent improvement in crop prices, and a recently announced farm credit programme.

Improved demand

“Following a slower start in Brazil, we anticipate potash imports will accelerate during the third quarter,” PotashCorp said.

Brazilian fertilizer purchases “are expected to accelerate in the third quarter and could lead to a more condensed delivery period,” PotashCorp Said.

“Potash demand in Brazil slowed in first-half 2015 as farmers were concerned about weaker crop prices, the lower purchasing power of the Real and delayed credit availability from the government,” the report said.

The same dynamics will be seen in urea, with imports improving in the third quarter of 2015, in line with the same time last year, when imports reached a record 4m tonnes over the year. Brazilian phosphate imports are also seen rising next quarter.

Tentative buyers

North American demand is also expected to rise against the first half of the year, leaving full year sales down from the record 63m tonnes achieved in 2014 but remaining “at historically strong levels”.

“In North America, demand was lower in the first half of 2015 but is expected to be similar to historical levels in the second half”, the report said.

“Buyers were tentative in the first half as the spring application window was shortened and farmers weighed the impact of lower crop prices,” the report said, also noting record offshore imports pressuring North American producer sales.

“We expect healthy demand in the second half as crop prices have improved and farmers look to replenish soil nutrients after recent large harvests,” said PotashCorp.

Mounting deficit

The increased North American demand is driven by a mounting potash deficit.

PotashCorp notes that application rates have held steady in North America over the past 30 years, while yields per acre have increased significantly thanks to the use of higher-yield cultivars.

As a result of this, PotashCorp estimates that since 2010, the depletion of potash in US farmland soil has exceeded application by more than 7m short tons per year.

“Closing this gap would require farmers to nearly double application rates compared to current levels,” PotashCorp said.

The group notes application deficits across US growing regions, with the largest in the Central Plains.

“Relatively large potash application deficits were found in most major crop producing regions of the US,” the report said.

Farmland growth to ease

PotashCorp also noted that expects the rate of increase in global planted acreages to slow.

By breaking new ground, and by double and triple cropping existing ground, PotashCorp reports that farmers have added over 160 million planted acres to agricultural production in the past ten years, “an area similar to that of the US corn and soybean crop”.

“In response to rising global demand and higher crop prices, farmers have increased planted acreage over the past decade,” PotashCorp said.

As global commodity prices slow, PotashCorp expects that the rate of increase in planted area could slow, and “some marginal acreage could be removed from production”.

Chinese demand

In China, PotashCorp expects “strong farmer affordability and agronomic need will continue to have a positive impact on potash demand in 2015”.

Supply contracts to China have already been negotiated by the North American potash cartel Canpotex, of with PotashCorp is a member.

Canpotex has also signed supply deals to Indian groups, where PotashCorp expects “continued growth in 2015”.

PotashCorp estimates Indian imports at 5m tonnes over the whole 2015.

Kharif planting

The group reports that India’s monsoon “got off to a strong start in June, which supported Kharif crop planting and fertilizer demand”.

Kharif crops, usually grains and pulses, are planted with the start of the monsoon rains.

PotashCorp expects Indian urea imports to slow from the recent rapid pace, but leaving 2015 purchases well above last year.

India is expected to import over 5m tonnes of diammonium phosphate in 2015, compared to 3.6m in 2014.
