EarthRenew Inc., Toronto, on July 2 announced a partnership with Australian-based Fertoz Ltd. to provide pulverized rock phosphate for its regenerative product line. EarthRenew subsidiary Replenish Nutrient’s Ltd. produces natural fertilizer alternatives using rock phosphate as a key ingredient.
Fertoz pulverized rock phosphate 0-20-0 will be supplied to Replenish targeting 10,000 mt/y over a period of five years. Some 500-1,000 mt will be supplied monthly beginning in July of this year.
EarthRenew said the partnership will benefit Canadian producers by improving access to granulated rock phosphate and blends throughout Western Canada, provide fertilizer options and blends that are tailored to individual regions and soil types, and enable access to EarthRenew’s other products and services.
“It has long been Fertoz’s strategy to open and use Canadian mines to supply Canada and focus on Montana and Mexico mines for the U.S. market,” said Sean Gatin, Fertoz Sales Vice President. “These volumes will allow opening and long term mining of our leases in the Fernie (B.C.) area.”
