KCl vs Thermo<strong>Potash</strong><br />

Why the shift in focus from Thermo<strong>Potash</strong>?<br />

1) Thermo<strong>Potash</strong> is an excellent project which <strong>Verde</strong> intends to produce<br />

alongside KCl;<br />

2) Thermo<strong>Potash</strong> is an excellent business, but it is a materially smaller<br />

business than KCl:<br />

‣ A two million tonne per year Thermo<strong>Potash</strong> operation could generate<br />

approximately US$300 million of revenue;<br />

‣ A three million tonne per year KCl operation could generate closer to<br />

US$2.0 billion of revenue;<br />

3) KCl is a well understood product with well-established demand (55Mt of<br />

global demand). Thermo<strong>Potash</strong> is an innovative product and although we<br />

have received positive feedback from Brazilian farmers and blenders,<br />

there is currently no established demand for Thermo<strong>Potash</strong>.<br />
