Editor's note: There is one photo associated with this press release.
DuSolo Fertilizers Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DSF)(PINKSHEETS:ELGSF)(FRANKFURT:E6R) ("DuSolo" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has received the Mining Permit ("GU" - Guia de Utilização) required to begin extracting and processing high-grade phosphate discovered at the Santiago target into Direct Application Natural Fertilizer ("DANF") - a fertilizer product highly popular amongst farmers and agricultural centers within close proximity to the Bomfim Project. The GU is the last of a series of permits and licenses the Company had to obtain in order to commence production of DANF.
"We now have all the elements in place to deliver on our goal of becoming a phosphate producer in arguably the world's hottest fertilizer market. Our processing facility is operational and permitted, we are fully funded, and we have received all the necessary licenses. The Company is therefore well positioned to commence DANF production effective immediately," commented Eran Friedlander, President and CEO of DuSolo.
PERMITTING
The following permits required for DANF production have now all been obtained:
-DANF Processing Facility Environmental License (Licença Ambiental)
-DANF Processing Facility Operating License (Licença de Funcionamento)
-Mining Site (Santiago Target) Operational License (Licença de Operação)
-Mining Permit (Guia de Utilização)
EXTRACTION AND PROCESSING
In light of today's news, DuSolo has now begun extracting and processing the high-grade phosphate discovered at Bomfim's Santiago target. The area selected to commence the extraction is located over hole STW-RC-25, that returned 15 meters @ 19.92% P2O5 (from surface and open at depth). The mineralization is outcropping and the topography is favorable for an open pit operation. The ensuing beneficiation process is very simple involving a series of crushers, screens and mills through which DuSolo intends to process the high-grade phosphate into three (3) DANF products of different phosphate grades (12%, 15%, 18% P2O5). The DANF is then sold to local farms and agricultural centers in the vicinity of the project's area. DANF is used alongside the standard and more costly Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash ("NPK") blend to compensate for elevated nutrients' depletion as a result of heavy tropical rainfalls. Farmers in the region have become accustomed to using DANF on their crops over the past several years but due to recent restrictions in supply, are no longer able to source it locally. DuSolo, as a result of its high-grade discovery, intends to fill the current void in this rapidly expanding marketplace by providing farmers with a local alternative source of supply for years to come.
SALES & MARKETING
The Company has already begun approaching farms and agricultural centers in the vicinity of the project area as part of a marketing campaign aimed at securing orders for the remaining 2014 planting season (August to November) and the upcoming 2015 planting seasons (February to April & August to November). The Company believes that its strategic location and its ability to competitively price its products will enable it to capture a significant share of this rapidly expanding market in the coming years.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
