The detailed due diligence review includes, but is not limited to, reviews of:

  • Data review and verification

  • Geology

  • Geophysics

  • Mining studies and design

  • Metallurgical studies and flowsheet optimisation

  • Legal and financial

  • Market studies

Potash Capabilities

FYI has aligned its development objectives with a number of key industry groups that augment FYI's capacity in developing a major potash production project.

The partnerships with these selected groups will complement the Company's development model from the exploration stage through to resource definition, mine scheduling and design, economic studies, mining, process engineering and off-take (marketing).

These relationships are also critical for the successful advancing and development of the Company's longer term potash strategy for Southeast Asia - particularly as a number of opportunities are drawing near to being finalised.

About Potash

Potash is the common term used for a group of various mined and manufactured salts containing potassium minerals in water-soluble form that are used principally as agricultural fertilizers.

Potassium is an important plant and crop nutrient along with nitrogen and phosphorus. Potash has been used since ancient history as a soil fertiliser which accounts for about 90% of its current use.

Potash is important for agriculture because it improves water retention, yield, nutrient value, taste, colour, texture and disease resistance of food crops. It has wide application to fruit and vegetables, rice, wheat and other grains, sugar, corn, soybeans, palm oil and cotton, all of which benefit from the nutrient's quality enhancing properties.

About FYI

FYI is an ASX listed natural resources focused public company. The Company's principal objective is to assemble a portfolio of quality potash projects in Southeast Asia with the view to long term development and production.

FYI is targeting shallow, thick, high grade deposits typically associated with the geology of the basin regions in Thailand and Laos.

The FYI Board and the assembled in-country management groups believe the targeted Thai and Laos project areas have the potential to host world class potash deposits
