Announcement authorised for release by the Company Secretary of
Danakali.
About Danakali
Danakali Limited (ASX: DNK, LSE: DNK) (Danakali, or the Company)
is an ASX- and LSE-listed potash company focused on the development
of the Colluli Sulphate of Potash Project (Colluli or the Project).
The Project is 100% owned by the Colluli Mining Share Company
(CMSC), a 50:50 joint venture between Danakali and the Eritrean
National Mining Corporation (ENAMCO).
The Project is located in the Danakil Depression region of
Eritrea, East Africa, and is 75km from the Red Sea coast, making it
one of the most accessible potash deposits globally. Mineralisation
within the Colluli resource commences at just 16m, making it the
world's shallowest known potash deposit. The resource is amenable
to open cut mining, which allows higher overall resource recovery
to be achieved, is generally safer than underground mining, and is
highly advantageous for modular growth.
The Company has completed a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
for the production of potassium sulphate, otherwise known as
Sulphate of Potash or SOP. SOP is a chloride free, specialty
fertiliser which carries a substantial price premium relative to
the more common potash type; potassium chloride (or MOP). Economic
resources for production of SOP are geologically scarce. The unique
composition of the Colluli resource favours low energy input, high
potassium yield conversion to SOP using commercially proven
technology. One of the key advantages of the resource is that the
salts are present in solid form (in contrast with production of SOP
from brines) which reduces infrastructure costs and substantially
reduces the time required to achieve full production capacity.
The resource is favourably positioned to supply the world's
fastest growing markets. A binding take-or-pay offtake agreement
has been confirmed with EuroChem Trading GmbH (EuroChem) for up to
100% (minimum 87%) of Colluli Module I SOP production.
Development Finance Institutions, Africa Finance Corporation
(AFC) and African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank), have obtained
formal credit approval to provide CMSC with US$200M in senior debt
finance. The credit documentation was executed in December 2019,
allowing drawdown of CMSC senior debt on satisfaction of customary
conditions precedent. This represents the majority of funding
required for the development and construction of the Colluli.
Project execution has commenced and the Company's vision is to
bring Colluli into production using the principles of risk
management, resource utilisation and modularity, using the starting
module (Module I) as a growth platform to develop the resource to
its full potential.
