John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate, provides an update on the company’s Quebec igneous phosphate project intended to produce purified phosphoric acid for LFP batteries. Passalacqua discusses a Danish Export Credit Agency LOI for up to 170 million euros for equipment and services, building on prior support including a Canadian federal non-repayable $16.7 million contribution and a similar 170 million US dollar EXIM Bank LOI, alongside a definitive bankable offtake agreement with some prepayment. He explains milestones needed to convert LOIs to definitive financing, with feasibility targeted by end-2026 and permitting in early 2027, supporting an aggressive 2029 production target. The conversation also covers completion of ~40,000 meters of infill drilling, discovery of two new zones that may expand the pit and resource, and the rationale for building a local North American/Western LFP supply chain amid geopolitical supply-chain disruptions.
