SOP (Sulphate of Potash) is best fertiliser, premium-priced product and in short supply.

In short supply

A premium-priced product ($700t)

Market demand is inelastic, buyers of SOP are less price sensitive

Mine and mill development costs far less than building an MOP mine and mill

The most environmentally friendly potassium fertilizer.

The 2 main types are;
1) SOP - Sulfate of Potash - Potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄)
2) Muriate of Potash - Potassium Chloride (KCl)

Sulphate of Potash (SOP)
is a 45-50% potash fertilizer readily distributed. It can be extracted from some lakes. It's the expensive one but less harmful to plant roots and soil bacteria than muriate. SOP is a dual nutrient source that delivers high potassium and sulfate sulfur with virtually no chloride and low salt index. It is the premium potassium source that helps plants reach their full yield potential.

Muriate of Potash (MOP) is potassium chloride (KCl) prob the highest source of potash but harmful to beneficial bacteria. MOP can be extracted from hard rock. There is an abundance of MOP in the world hence the low sale price.

It’s not just potash… IT’S SOP!

Potassium sulfate, also known as sulfate of potash or SOP, is the optimal potassium fertilizer for crops worldwide. There are many reasons why SOP is preferred over muriate of potash (MOP) and nitrate of potash (NOP) by both farmers and investors, including:

SOP benefits farmers worldwide:

SOP improves the quality and yield of high value crops – fruits, vegetables, coffee beans, nuts, potatoes, and tobacco.

SOP makes plants more resistant to drought, frost, insects, and disease.

SOP improves the nutritional value, taste, and appearance of produce, including the size, color, and smell.

SOP slows the deterioration of produce during transport and storage.

SOP provides plants with two vital nutrients – potassium and sulfur.

SOP improves a plant’s ability to photosynthesize.

SOP improves a plant’s ability to absorb phosphorus, iron, and other micronutrients.

SOP aids plants in the development of proteins, enzymes, and vitamins.

SOP has a low salinity index, which gives it an edge in regions with salty soils.

SOP is the preferred potassium fertilizer for sandy soils since it reduces the leaching of calcium and potassium.

SOP is the most environmentally friendly potassium fertilizer.

SOP benefits investors worldwide

SOP market demand is inelastic, but the demand for MOP is elastic; buyers of SOP are less price sensitive than buyers of MOP.

SOP is in short supply; MOP is well supplied by the world’s large potash companies.

SOP has very few natural sources (The Ochoa project is a natural source of SOP).

SOP mine and mill development costs far less than building an MOP mine and mill.

SOP is a premium-priced product, selling for at least $100 more per metric tonne than MOP.

SOP is the most environmentally friendly potassium fertilizer.

This had me thinking...

Is there a possibility that this coud be incorporated into the CTL (OHD) process.

We have a specialist team of scientists working on CTL (OHD)...can this be EVEN FURTHER expanded on?

If it could, what kind of Super Fertilizer would it make.
Delivery process and concentration of delivery.
Sources under our control.
Recipes / Processes patented.
End to End = Supplier, manufacturer to consumer pipeline.

I wonder if this is not the reason (in part or full) for the Board deciding to enter the Potash market. (The bonus is of course another Lithium prospectivity.)

Perhaps the scientists have ALREADY DISCOVERED a bonus or additional attribute for the CTL (OHD) process.

I think there is more to this than just grabbing some Potash Licences (with Lithium)....Not just 1 or 2.....EIGHT OF THEM.

Wouldn't be surprised to see some PATENT Applications notices submitted being annoucned shortly.

Very exciting days, weeks and months ahead for GPP.
