Overview

Emmerson PLC is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange with the ticker LON: EML. The Company is developing the Khemisset potash project in Northern Morocco, which a recent scoping study confirmed to have the potential to be a low capital cost, high margin potash mine in a country which was recently sited in the Mining Journal’s risk report as the number one jurisdiction for mining investment in Africa.

Potash is a fertiliser used to increase crop yields and improve the quality of plants. It plays a central role in helping feed the world’s growing population. Highlights of the aforementioned Scoping Study include:

  • Post Tax NPV of US$795m and IRR of 29.8% over 20 year mine life
  • Using forecast prices from Independent Market Consultant Argus Media, NPV increases to US$1.14bn over 20 year mine life
  • Bottom quartile projected all-in-sustaining delivered cost to all Emmerson’s target markets including Brazil, NW Europe, Morocco, South Africa
  • Top quartile projected cash margins according to analysis conducted by Argus FMB
    • Average, steady state post-tax cash margins of 50% at current potash prices
    • Average, steady state, EBITDA margins of nearly 64% at current potash prices

Midas Share Tips (Apr 2022) “Emmerson can grow your portfolio with potash that’s NOT from Russia
“Emmerson should prove to be an attractive option. The company is still developing its mine, but the potash is there in abundance and several important steps have been taken on the road towards commercial production. Engineers are in place, a financial strategy has been drawn up and chief executive Graham Clarke has secured up to $46million of support from a Singapore-based investment group. ”

Financial Times (June 2022): Ukraine war sparks rush for potash as global food fears grow
For the best part of a decade the potash market struggled with overcapacity and low prices. But as sanctions throttle supplies of the fertiliser from Russia and Belarus, which account for almost 40 per cent of global stocks, buyers are scrambling for cargoes and warnings are growing of a global food crisis…shares in Aim-listed Emmerson, which owns the Khemisset project in Morocco, have jumped 30 per cent this year.”
