West Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2024) - Millennial Potash Corp. (TSXV: MLP) (OTCQB: MLPNF) (FSE: X0D) ("MLP", "Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has earned a total 70% interest in the shares of Equatorial Potash Pty. Ltd. ("Equatorial") which, through its Gabon subsidiary Mayumba Potasse SARL, holds 100% of the Banio Potash Project. To earn 70% (which represented an increase of 19% from the previously held 51% of the shares of Equatorial), MLP has filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and made milestone payments of US$300,000 and 1,000,000 shares of MLP to the vendors of the Banio Potash Project.
千禧钾肥控件(TSXV: MLP)(OTCQB: MLPNF)(FSE: X0D)非常高兴地宣布,已获得Equatorial Potash Pty. Ltd.(“赤道”)股份的总计70%的利益,该公司通过其Gabon子公司Mayumba Potasse SARL持有Banio Potash项目的100%。为了获得70%的股份(这代表了之前持有的Equatorial股份从51%增加了19%),MLP已经提交了初步经济评估(PEA),并向Banio Potash项目的出售商支付了300,000美元和1,000,000 MLP股票的里程碑付款。
Farhad Abasov, the chairman of Millennial, commented: "We are excited to have made such fast progress in the development of the Banio Potash Project since we first announced the earn-in agreement in March 2023. In less than a year, the Company built an exploration camp, drilled exploration holes extending the potash deposit thickness to 70 meters, and issuing a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate of 657 million tonnes of Indicated resources grading 15.9% KCl and 1.16 billion tonnes of Inferred resources grading 16% KCl in January 2024 (see press Release dated Jan. 16, 2024). In April 2024, the Company released the results of a very robust PEA."
千禧董事长Farhad Abasov评论道:“自2023年3月我们首次宣布赚取协议以来,我们对Banio钾肥项目的开发取得了如此快速的进展感到兴奋。在不到一年的时间里,公司建立了一个探索营地,钻探了探矿孔,将钾肥矿床厚度扩展到70米,并于2024年1月发布了65700万吨已指示资源的涉矿概念评估,评级为15.9%KCl,以及116亿吨的推测资源,评级为16%KCl(请参见2024年1月16日的新闻稿)。2024年4月,公司公布了一份非常强大的PEA报告结果。”
The PEA report outlines the details of a potentially low-cost solution mining operation at the Banio Potash Project. The PEA was based on production of 800,000 Tonnes Per Year of granular Muriate of Potash (MOP). Thick potash horizons along with a solution mining approach produced one of the lowest CAPEX (US$480M) and OPEX (US$61/tonne MOP) estimates in the industry. The solid economics of the Banio Potash Project were further demonstrated through a strong post-tax NPV(10) of US$1.07 Billion and IRR of 32.6% (see Press Release dated Apr. 23, 2024). MLP will continue implementing recommendations from the PEA including preparation for additional drilling at the North Target in order to expand the resources further.
PEA报告概述了班尼奥钾盐项目低成本矿业解决方案的细节。 PEA基于每年生产80万吨颗粒状氯化钾(MOP)。 厚厚的钾盐层与矿物质采选方法相结合,产生了产业板块中CAPEX(4.8亿美元)和OPEX(61美元/吨MOP)估算最低的之一。班尼奥钾盐项目坚实的经济效益在税后NPV(10)为10.7亿美元,IRR为32.6%(见2024年4月23日的新闻稿)中得以进一步证明。 MLP将继续实施PEA的建议,包括准备在北方目标处进行额外钻探以进一步扩大资源。
