Good looking scoping study for PHO out Friday, very compelling economics, currently PHO $38mil MC:
* after tax NPV10 of AUS$967mil
* very quick payback period of just 1.5 years
* modest development capital
* initial 46 year mine life
* very conservative phosphate price used of US$150/t (world bank recently reported price of US$300/t
* great tax concessions (first 5 years of production tax free)
* only 1% royalties payable
* project located in Tunisia where Tunisia is looking to double phosphate exports by next year
* sealed road and nearby rail to port, Tunisia closest North African country to Europe
* phosphate important for both agriculture and electric vehicles (LFP batteries which account for 25% of global cathode production and where half of vehicles produced by Tesla are equipped with LFP batteries)
* finite resource
* China and Russia both imposed export bans/sanctions on fertiliser. 5 countries control 90% of global phosphate reserves
