PhosCan Chemical Corp. is a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed company which is engaged in the development of the Martison Phosphate Project, which consists of the Martison Phosphate Deposit and a planned phosphate mine, beneficiation plant, phosphoric acid plant and solid fertilizer production facility. Managed by a proven development team within extensive experience in both the mining and chemical disciplines, the Company is focused on developing this vertically-integrated phosphate fertilizer complex.The Martison Phosphate Deposit is located 70 kilometres north of Hearst, Ontario. If the Martison Project is successfully developed, phosphate ore from the mine will be processed into a concentrate in the beneficiation plant. The concentrate will be transported by slurry pipeline to a phosphoric acid plant near Hearst where it will be combined with sulphuric acid to produce phosphoric acid. Sulphuric acid is expected to be sourced either from existing nearby base metal smelters or a sulphuric acid plant which would be built by the Company. PhosCan will further process the phosphoric acid into superphosphoric acid (SPA) and/or mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer which will be sold to fertilizer dealers serving the agricultural regions of western Canada and mid-western United States. The Company's proposed operations will be strategically located in proximity to these target markets with ready access to excellent infrastructure including rail, power and labour.

Playfair is changing focus to concentrate in the near term on a new copper silver opportunity in the Seal Lake basin. Acquired, by 100% staking, in 673 claims covering 16,825 hectares in the Seal Lake area of Central Labrador. The property covers some 136 copper and copper-silver occurrences including 16 copper-silver showings and 9 copper silver prospects, all discovered mainly via prospecting in the 1950's. Almost all the showings and prospects occur within a consistent and laterally extensive stratigraphic interval - the basal gray shale of the Upper Adeline Island Formation. The copper-silver enriched Adeline Island Formation is believed to form a canoe shape, with the rock unit outcropping over an estimated area measuring about 33km long by up to 4.4km wide. Playfair's Seal Lake Copper Silver Project covers the entire mapped extent of the favourable sedimentary unit and its probable subsurface continuation. The mineralization and geology of this new project is similar to the Kupferschiefer type copper-silver deposits that are the focus of ongoing work at Hana Mining's Ghanzi property in Botswana.Playfair continues to believe that there is a strong case for an upcoming global Tungsten shortage. With four high-grade Tungsten deposits Playfair remains well positioned to take advantage of the expected upcoming global Tungsten shortage and associated Tungsten price increase.
