Phosphorus: a key ingredient in fertilizer and essential nutrient for plant life

Phosphate is a non‐renewable natural resource, mainly found in sedimentary and igneous deposits

40% of world food production is directly linked to fertilizer applications

Phosphate Overview

The Ripening Opportunity

Fertilizers are part of the Food Supply Chain

Traditionally phosphate business is vertically integrated – phosphate rock mined and processed at nearby chemical plants and used locally

New growth of new markets such as Brasil, India, Indonesia, demand for rock phosphate has outgrown supply   

Morocco controls seaboard trade of rock phosphate and was willing to sell rock phosphates cheaply, meaning there has been no real investment in phosphates outside Africa

Morocco now has made known its intention to sell at top dollar in order to become a key player in the production of chemical phosphates

This will squeeze the integrated producers such as Mosaic with the goal of causing them to abandon their chemical products and purchase the finished product from Morocco – meaning there will be increased demand for alternative sources of rock phosphate

The Mantaro Project is located in theJunin region, in the central Andes atthe southern end of a highlyproductive and important miningbelt in the Central Peruvian Andes.

The Machay Project comprises18,000 claims is located roughly 30km north of Mantaro, with similargeology and mineralization toMantaro. Exploration is early stagewith up to 11.4% P2O5 sampled inoutcrop.

The Mantaro Project is a mineralized zone of phosphatic rock currently defined by surfaceoutcrops, trenches and drilling exposed as three roughly parallel mantos each extending overa strike length of more than 30 km over a width of more than 5 km on the west side of theMantaro River.

Mantaro Project Overview

Mantaro Project  History 

1960’s: Cerro de Pasco recognizes potential for phosphate in the Mantaro Valley

1998: Phosphex S.A conducts exploration work within the Philip concession.

1999: German company Zublin improves studies and expands work area to include Quicha Chicoand Philip concessions by trenching and concludes interesting potential for phosphates.

2000‐2001: Bateman Technologies conducts positive pre‐feasibility study

2008: Stonegate Agricom acquires concessions Quicha Chico and Philip via Mantaro Perú SAC.

2009: Mantaro Peru achieved permits for exploration works from the Communities of Aco,Quicha Chico and Quicha Grande. Conducts exploration and 3,414m drilling within the Philipconcession
