Ammonia-urea plan for Chechnya

The Chechen Republic’s Ministry of Industry and Trade is reportedly in discussions with Chinese company Wuhuan over the construction of a mew nitrogen fertilizer plant in the region. Wuhuan is being considered as a potential EPC contractor, with technology and design coming from Russian design agency JSC GIAP. A site in the republic’s Naursky district has been earmarked for the project, which aims to produce 1,700 t/dm of ammonia and 3,000 t/d of urea. Development and construction is expected to take five years, with plant startup currently scheduled for the first half of 2030. The total cost of the project is estimated at $2.4 billion.

Mining licence approved for Ammaroo phosphate project

Austrlai’s Northern Territories Government has approved a mining licence for Verdant Minerals’ Ammaroo phosphate project. The approval follows the granting of two mineral leases in March and represents a critical step towards construction and mining operations at one of the world’s largest phosphate resources. Verdant estimates the value of production over the life of the mine to exceed $15 billion. Verdant says that securing the mining licence puts the project firmly on track to reach a final investment decision and commence construction as early as mid-2027. Located 200 kilometres south-east of Tennant Creek, the Ammaroo phosphate deposit contains more than one billion tonnes of phosphate ore.
