In exchange for the offtake rights, Possehl will offer a portion of the pre-financing that will enable Tertiary to meet its working capital needs and/or its capital investment needs for the development of its fluorspar projects.

“The relationship represents a critical building block in our quest to becoming a leading supplier of fluorspar to the global markets.”

Tertiary Minerals managing director Richard Clemmey said: “The relationship represents a critical building block in our quest to becoming a leading supplier of fluorspar to the global markets.

“Not only does this provide the company with the opportunity, and competitive advantage, to secure long-term sales contracts with key fluorspar end users but also access to pre-financing, which can form an important part of the overall development funding package for our fluorspar projects and potential future acquisitions.”

The MoU also provides for pre-financing to be provided by Possehl to fund any of Tertiary’s near-term fluorspar acquisition targets.
