发布于: 2 月 15, 2024

魁北克省萨格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2024年2月15日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”)欣然宣布与英国米尔顿凯恩斯的Integrals Power Limited(“IPL”)签署了联合开发协议(“JDA”),生产电池级磷酸铁前驱体,供应中国以外的磷酸铁锂(“LFP”)电池行业。

商业案例

  • 磷酸铁是一种人造物质,在中国传统的LFP阴极活性材料(“CAM”)生产中用作基础前驱体。
  • 要在中国以外地区以最具成本效益的方式开始使用传统的磷酸铁锂合成方法生产磷酸铁锂电池,就需要一种本地生产的磷酸铁锂前驱体来源,这种来源必须符合美国《通胀削减法案》对本地生产的要求。
  • 中国一般使用硫酸铁和磷酸一铵生产磷酸铁。
  • 在中国以外的地区,硫酸铁作为一种铁来源并不总是很容易获得。
  • 况且,使用硫酸铁和磷酸一铵生产磷酸铁产生的废物流在欧洲/北美环境合规框架内不易管理。
  • 欧洲和北美的LFP电池行业需要一种新的磷酸铁前驱体制造工艺,这种工艺必须符合适用的环境标准。
  • 北美生产磷酸铁的工艺必须对成本敏感,才能与中国的磷酸铁生产商竞争,因为后者能够利用欧洲/北美和中国之间的劳工和环境标准套利机会。

Forward-Looking Information and Cautionary Statements

This news release contains certain statements and information that may be considered “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” and other similar expressions. In addition, statements in this news release that are not historical facts are forward looking statements, including, among other things, the Company’s planned exploration and production activities, the properties and composition of any extracted phosphate, the Company’s plans for vertical integration into North American supply chains, successful commercial relations between First Phosphate and IPL, IPL’s successful development of the technology, as described including its relative cost, and the developed product’s compliance with European and North American environmental standards and compliance frameworks, and the US Inflation Reduction Act, the ability of the parties to successfully scale the technology, and the availability of funding for future phases of development and production.

These statements and other forward-looking information are based on assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, including, without limitation, expectations of the Company’s long term business outcomes given its short operating history; expectations regarding revenue, expenses and operations; the Company having sufficient working capital and ability to secure additional funding necessary for the exploration of the Company’s property interests; expectations regarding the potential mineralization, geological merit and economic feasibility of the Company’s projects; expectations regarding drill programs and the potential impacts successful drill programs could have on the life of the mine and the Company; mineral exploration and exploration program cost estimates; expectations regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploration programs and the potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations; receipt and timing of exploration and exploitation permits and other third-party approvals; government regulation of mineral exploration and development operations; expectations regarding any social or local community issues that may affect planned or future exploration and development programs; expectations surrounding global economic trends and technological advancements; and key personnel continuing their employment with the Company.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include: limited operating history; high risk of business failure; no profits or significant revenues; limited resources; negative cash flow from operations and dependence on third-party financing; the uncertainty of additional funding; no dividends; risks related to possible fluctuations in revenues and results; insurance and uninsured risks; litigation; reliance on management and key personnel; conflicts of interest; access to supplies and materials; dangers of mineral exploration and related liability and damages; risks relating to health and safety; government regulation and legal uncertainties; the company’s exploration and development properties may not be successful and are highly speculative in nature; dependence on outside parties; title to some of the Company’s mineral properties may be challenged or defective; Aboriginal title and land claims; obtaining and renewing licenses and permits; environmental and other regulatory risks may adversely affect the company; risks relating to climate change; risks related to infrastructure; land reclamation requirements may be burdensome; current global financial conditions; fluctuation in commodity prices; dilution; future sales by existing shareholders could cause the Company’s share price to fall; fluctuation and volatility in stock exchange prices; and risks related to market demands. There can be no assurance that any opportunity will be successful, commercially viable, completed on time or on budget, or will generate any meaningful revenues, savings or earnings, as the case may be, for the Company. In addition, the Company will incur costs in pursuing any particular opportunity, which may be significant.

These factors and assumptions are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors and assumptions that could affect the Company and, though they should be considered carefully, should be considered in conjunction with the risk factors described in the Company’s other documents filed with the Canadian securities authorities, including without limitation the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Information Form dated November 29, 2023 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
