Itafos PEA Backs High-Return Expansion at Brazil’s Arraias Phosphate Project

An announcement from Itafos ( (TSE:IFOS) ) is now available.

Itafos has completed an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for its Arraias Phosphate Project in Tocantins, Brazil, confirming a 2 million tonne measured and indicated resource and 3 million tonne inferred resource across four deposits, with high-grade breccia and conglomerate phosphate layers. The study outlines a 14-year life-of-mine plan, a shift to producing single superphosphate alongside existing direct application and partially acidulated products, and modest required capital expenditures of about US$8 million for beneficiation plant upgrades, underpinned by attractive projected economics including an after-tax NPV of US$70.7 million, an 85% IRR, and a roughly two-year payback, supporting the company’s fertilizer restart strategy and positioning it to further tap Brazil’s large and expanding fertilizer market.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:IFOS) stock is a Buy with a C$3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Itafos stock, see the TSE:IFOS Stock Forecast page.
