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
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
