Our Licenses

Mining License ML170

The company has a current and valid Mining License ML170 that was issued in 2011 for a period of 20 years covering the mineral reserves and resources defined in the Sandpiper phosphate deposit. Commencement of commercial dredging operations is conditional on the granting of an environmental licence for both the land and marine components of the project. NMP is at an advanced stage in the gaining of such clearances for the full development of the Sandpiper Phosphate Project.
