EMMERSON PLC

Emmerson is a potash company focused on the development of its flagship Khemisset Potash Project , located in Northern Morocco . The project has significant exploration potential with an accelerated development plan that is targeting a low capital expenditure ( capex ), high margin potash operation which will produce around 800,000 tonnes per annum . One of the key highlights of the project is its very low capital cost to production by potash industry standards . In the opinion of Locke , this is the first hurdle to be cleared in order to have any chance

“ IF YOU ’ RE CLOSE TO YOUR END MARKET , YOU WILL LIKELY ALWAYS BE COMPETITIVE , JUST THROUGH THE COST SAVINGS IN THIS KEY AREA ”
