Salt Lake Potash and Sinofert Enter MOU for Long Term Offtake Arrangement

 

 

Salt Lake Potash (the Company) is pleased to announce that the Company has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the leading fertiliser distribution company in China, Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert), setting out the basis for the second Offtake Agreement for the Goldfields Salt Lakes Project (GSLP).

The Offtake Agreement will provide Sinofert with sales and offtake rights for up to 50% of all Sulphate of Potash (SOP) production from the GSLP, for distribution into China. The initial term is for 8 years, from 1 January 2020.

Salt Lake Potash plans to shortly commence initial construction of a Demonstration Plant at the GSLP producing up to 50,000tpa of high quality SOP, with plans to distribute production through a small number of global distribution partnerships. Subsequent to the Demonstration Plant, the Company plans to progressively expand production across a number of lakes in the GSLP.

The Sinofert MOU is non-binding and sets out the key terms for a subsequent formal Offtake Agreement expected to be completed before the commencement of the initial term on 1 January 2020. As well as quantities and target markets, the MOU's other terms include:

• Market pricing and commission mechanisms;

• Specifications and delivery parameters; and

• Sinochem to provide strategic advice on marketing within China.
