Chatham Rock Phosphate Ltd recently announced that this analyst coverage is a significant advance for Chatham:
A Near-Term Producer of Fertilizers in an Area Reliant on Imports
We are resuming coverage on this company. Since our previous report in 2018, the company has expanded its portfolio by adding two phosphate properties. This company currently holds three phosphate properties.
As New Zealand and Australia import most of its phosphate needs from Morocco/Russia/China, there is a strong need for domestic production.
This company is aiming to advance the Korella project to production by Q4-2023, and the Makatea project by 2025. Although both projects do not have NI 43-101/JORC resource estimates, historic exploration indicates that both have potential for producing 250,000 tonnes per annum (Ktpa) of phosphate for 10+ years. These projects are also prospective for rare earth elements.
Upcoming catalysts include permitting and production at Korella and Makatea.
