- Allana's estimated capex costs of U.S. $642M and total opex of $125/tonne will allow the Company to deliver a high rate of return once the mine is producing 1M tonnes/year. Even at a US$300-350 spot price, Allana can be profitable.
- Location proves itself to be a competitive advantage as Allana's Danakhil Potash Project is situated in the growing African market. Ethiopia is a geopolitically stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction whose government is taking on many expenditures related to building infrastructure. Additionally, Ethiopia's high temperatures are ideal for accelerating the Danakhil mine's solar evaporation process.
- Finally, the strategic partnership signed with Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL), the 5th largest Potash producer in the world, is a tremendous vote of confidence for the project. The ICL deal includes 3 key components: financial support, a take-or-pay off-take for 80% of production, and technical co-operation.
