Aim-listed Kropz achieved record production of 40 792 t of phosphate concentrate from its Elandsfontein project, in South Africa, for March. 

This brought the project’s production to 115 686 t phosphate concentrate for the quarter ended March 31 – the fourth quarter of the company’s financial year – an 11% increase from the previous quarter.

Sales for the quarter were 104 900 t.

As previously announced, the Elandsfontein project achieved record production of 34 070 t for September 2025. Since then, four additional production records have been achieved during the final six months of the financial year.

The mine remains in its trial production phase.

Meanwhile, the company has performed a review and assessment of alternative production scenarios for its Hinda project, in Congo-Brazzavillee.

The review involved comprehensive stress testing and other additional studies.

As a result, the complexities associated with both surface and underground water have been significantly reduced and effectively mitigate the risk associated through optimisation initiative, Kropz says.

Therefore, management no longer considers water-related challenges to pose a material risk, contributing to improved overall project profitability, it adds.

The company highlights this as a major milestone which has repositioned project feasibility.
