IO#11 Signed Agreement for New Plant

 

Iofina plc (AIM: IOF), specialists in the exploration and production of iodine
and manufacturers of specialty chemical products, is pleased to announce that
an agreement has been signed for IO#11. Working with an existing brine water
supply partner, the plant will be situated in Iofina's newest core area of
brine water production, near IO#9 and IO#10. The plant is expected to become
operational in 2025.

 

This region of Western Oklahoma is an area of significant oil and gas
development, with an established brine supply. The Board believes the site is
an excellent location for the new plant, which will deploy IOsorb® technology
to isolate iodine from the iodine-rich brine stream.

 

The Company is already working with its partner on the design elements to
maximise iodine production at the IO#11 site. The final expected capacities
and plant costs will be shared in due course. The new plant will be financed
through the Company's cash facilities, with an option to utilise the Company's
loan facilities. The Board expects the initial work of IO#11 to commence in Q4
2024. A more specific timeline will be shared with the market as construction
develops.

 

Commenting, President and CEO, Dr. Tom Becker stated:

"We are pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed with our chosen
brine water partner for our next plant, IO#11 in our newest core area in
Oklahoma. This continues our recent track record over the past three years of
increased growth rates in iodine production, as we believe this is the optimal
strategy to help drive long-term value for the Company and its
shareholders."
