George Roach, CEO commented ," The board of Circum has provided an update in a letter to shareholders. Significantly, the updated DFS for Circum reports a staged approach and a much-reduced capital cost with a real NPV at a 10% discount rate of US$576 Million, IRR of 23.6% and compelling unit costs.

In my view, the letter to shareholders is positive and with an anticipation of the conflict in Ethiopia reaching a settlement and the strong fundamentals under-pinning potash, and SOP, as discussed in the letter.

I am optimistic that Circum will yield a good return to Premier."
