Avenir Minerals moves to take Fox River private to secure Martison phosphate
Written by Natalie Noor-Drugan
Avenir Minerals is moving to take Fox River Resources private to gain full control of the Martison phosphate project in northern Ontario, signalling serious intent to advance a rare, large-scale igneous phosphate asset aimed at North American fertilizer and battery markets. The deal gives engineers and project developers a clearer indication that Martison is unlikely to remain a small junior project and is instead being folded into a vehicle backed by a major mining house.
