First Phosphate Announces Filing of PEA Technical Report for the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Project, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada


Saguenay, Quebec – Newsfile Corp. – January 17, 2025 – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce it has filed on SEDAR+ its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA“) Technical Report on the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Project (the “Property” or the “Project“) located 75 km northwest of Saguenay, Quebec, Canada.

The PEA provides a potentially viable case for developing the Property by open pit mining for the primary production of a phosphate concentrate and secondary recovery of magnetite concentrate.

Highlights of the PEA (all dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars on a 100% project ownership basis unless otherwise indicated):

  • The Project would produce an annual average of 900,000 tonnes of beneficiated phosphate concentrate at 40% P2O5 content and 380,000 tonnes of magnetite at 92% Fe2O3 content over a 23-year mine life.
  • The Project would generate a pre-tax internal rate or return (IRR) of 37.1% and a pre-tax net present value (NPV) of $2.100 Billion at an 8% discount rate at an approximate 3-year trailing average phosphate price plus a premium for purity and potential secure source of supply, and a 2-year trailing average magnetite price plus a premium for purity.
  • The Project would generate an after-tax internal rate or return (IRR) of 33.0% and an after-tax net present value (NPV) of $1.590 Billion at an 8% discount rate.
  • The Project would generate an after-tax cash flow of $700 Million in years 1 to 3, resulting in a 2.9-year payback period from start of production. Pre-tax cash flow in years 1 to 3 is $783 Million for a 2.6-year payback period.
  • The Project benefits from adjacent paved provincial road access and nearby electrical power line, and year-round accessible deep-sea Port of Saguenay at approximately 85 km driving distance. Initial capex for the Project is estimated at $675 million.
  • The PEA used Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources in its calculations.
  • The Project has no outstanding royalties or financing streams registered against it.

The PEA is considered by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. to meet the requirements as defined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. This PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be classified as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that First Phosphate will be successful in obtaining any or all of the requisite consents, permits or approvals, regulatory or otherwise, for the Project to be placed into production. The PEA has an effective date of December 4, 2024, and the Technical Report is dated January 17, 2025.

The detailed results of the PEA were previously reported in the Company’s news release dated December 4, 2024, and there are no differences in the PEA Technical Report from those results.

The PEA Technical Report titled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Region, Northern Quėbeccan be found on SEDAR+ (http://www.sedarplus.ca/) and the Company’s website at www.FirstPhosphate.com.

Sarawak Launches AI.LEGACY, World’s First Intelligent Impact Management System for Business Events Sector

KUCHING, Malaysia, Jan. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sarawak became the first in the world to launch AI.LEGACY, an intelligent impact management system specifically designed to monitor, measure, and report the legacies of business events hosted in Sarawak.

The Hon. Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, representing the Premier of Sarawak, The Right Honourable Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, launched the world's first business event legacy management system.
The Hon. Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, representing the Premier of Sarawak, The Right Honourable Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, launched the world’s first business event legacy management system.

AI.LEGACY Intelligent Impact Management System offers a revolutionary approach to business event legacy management by leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Its four key objectives are to:

1.      Track the real-time impacts of business events

2.      Enable event planners to make more informed decisions by leveraging data insights

3.      Collect, analyse and manage event data via artificial intelligence

4.      Position Sarawak as the legacy capital of business events in Malaysia and Borneo

“This is a groundbreaking moment for Sarawak, having spent several years studying business event legacies, investing in strategic approaches, and learning through trial and error to achieve this milestone,” proudly said The Hon. Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak. “We are incredibly proud of AI.LEGACY because it is 100% locally developed by BESarawak and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Sarawak can deliver its brand promise of driving impact together with event planners. They now have greater power to analyse their contributions toward Sarawak’s Post COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030 and UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

“BESarawak is very pleased to be ahead of schedule in achieving the Impact Master Action Plan 2023-2025. This now ensures that the business events sector in Sarawak continues to thrive while delivering measurable benefits to society,” said Dato Sri Abang Haji Abdul Karim bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, Chairman of BESarawak.

Amelia Roziman, CEO of BESarawak, highlighted a significant global challenge facing the business events sector: the measurement and reporting of non-economic outcomes and legacies.

“The sector is heavily focused on quantitative data that other significant impacts have been overlooked and therefore, unreported. We need to emphasise the impact of events on social, environmental, and cultural aspects too—a shift that AI.LEGACY is designed to support,” said Roziman. “With the power of automation, AI.LEGACY can produce important reports that validate the planner’s work and help increase their chances of obtaining additional support such as funds and endorsements. We are simplifying processes to make it easier to improve long-term strategic planning through real-time insights. AI.LEGACY is the way forward to make a difference.”

Prof. Dr. Lo May Chiun, AI.LEGACY Project Leader and Senior Director of the Research, Innovation and Enterprise Centre at UNIMAS, expressed her enthusiasm about the groundbreaking potential of AI.LEGACY. “My team and I are confident that AI.LEGACY can help not only the business events sector but also other industries unlock their full potential. In today’s world, where economic, social, and environmental factors are key, it’s essential to have tools that enable every industry to understand both their economic and non-economic benefits,” she stated.

AI.LEGACY Intelligent Impact Management System also serves as a one-stop centre for users to conveniently book legacy clinic sessions and submit various applications, including the Borneo Inspires Legacy Awards 2025. AI.LEGACY will be ready for use starting early Q3/2025.

ABOUT BUSINESS EVENTS SARAWAK

BESarawak was established in 2006 by the Sarawak Government as a non-profit convention and exhibition bureau to promote Sarawak for national and international business events. Support and services include, but are not limited to, developing and bidding for business events of interest, funding assistance and crafting itineraries. BESarawak is also known as ‘Biro Konvensyen Sarawak’ (Bahasa Malaysia) or 砂拉越会议局 (Mandarin). www.businesseventssarawak.com

ABOUT BUSINESS EVENTS’ LEGACY IMPACT

‘Legacy impact’ refers to the long-term, positive benefits that business events bring to sectors, communities, trade and investment, the environment, and governance. Sarawak is the first in Malaysia and Borneo to focus on legacy impact as a sustainable method of measuring the value of business events. Business events are listed as one of six sectors in the Sarawak Government’s Post COVID-19 Development Strategy to achieve economic prosperity, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability by 2030.
