Managing Director and CEO of Australian Potash, Matt Shackleton, said the agreement with Redox includes geographic rights for distribution through Australia and New Zealand.
He added that his company is also well advanced in discussions with further Tier 1 offtake partners covering Asia (exChina), Europe, the Americas and China.
“We are pleased to announce the first binding term sheet for offtake supply, covering sales and distribution rights to K-BriteTM in Australia and New Zealand,” Mr Shackleton said.
“Our new partnership with long-established Australian company Redox, who from its Sydney base has built broad trade relationships and an extensive global distribution network, delivers APC’s first step in the larger offtake program.
“Ultimately APC will have a large proportion of the planned 150,000 tpa output from the LSOP under offtake agreements, and we look forward to updating shareholders on our progress in the near future.
