Tunisian Telegraph Exclusive — Metlaoui Phosphate Reveals Key Findings

The results of the tests conducted by the Australian company Fosco on phosphate deposits in the Kasserine region highlight the potential to convert phosphate ores into a high-quality concentrate with a phosphorus content reaching up to 34 percent, the highest level recorded to date, compared to the traditional ranges of 29 to 32 percent in global markets. The findings confirm that the processing can be made easier through a simplified one-stage flotation technique, thereby reducing costs and technical risks. If further extensive testing proves successful, the value of the phosphate concentrate could increase, making it more competitive. This would transform the Kasserine area from merely a raw material source into a region producing high-quality products, with resources estimated at around 12 million tons of ore and 166.6 million tons of total project resources. Although these results are promising, the project is still in the evaluation phase, and a comprehensive economic assessment will be updated in October 2026 to determine its feasibility for practical implementation.
