Hopes Australia's first phosphate export could ease fertiliser supply crisis
ABC article
The project is one of the few remaining undeveloped high-grade phosphate rock deposits in the world.
High-grade phosphate rock has been domestically exported in an Australian first that could help to shore up critical supplies of fertiliser. Centrex chief executive Robert Mencel said it was a significant day for the industry because previously the mineral was 100 per cent imported. "Around 400,000 tonnes a year gets imported into Australia, about 600,000 tonnes into New Zealand"
Nice to see a bit of media attention and some cash starting to flow
