• A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Banio potash project in Gabon, Western Africa, returned robust economics, with an AT-NPV10% of US$1.1B, and a high AT-IRR of 33%, using US$387/t granular Muriate of Potash (gMOP) vs the spot price of US$305/t. MLP is trading at just 1% of the AT-NPV10%.
  • The project can be advanced to production within three to four years. We believe Banio stands out among undeveloped potash projects with its comparatively low initial CAPEX of US$480M, and OPEX of US$61/t, attributed to its amenability to solution mining.
