(LSE AIM: IOF)
Business Update
Iofina plc, specialists in the exploration and production of
iodine and manufacturers of specialty chemical products, today
provides the market with the following end of year update.
Iofina is pleased to report that it will meet its H2 2021
crystalline iodine production target of 260-275 metric tonnes
("MT"), which was projected at the half year. The Company will
provide further details in an update in January 2022 once numbers
are finalised.
Additionally, the Company highlights that the demand for iodine
and iodine derivatives remains strong. In recent weeks the iodine
spot price has continued to climb and has reached $50/kg, up 25%
since Iofina's Q3 update in October 2021. In light of what are
proving to be robust market trends, the Directors expect the
current pricing levels to be maintained into H1 2022.
Lastly, completion of the agreement with brine partners ahead of
the development of IO#9 has progressed since the Q3 update, but the
latest Covid-19 spike has caused the process to slow, pushing the
timeline for the execution of an agreement into Q1 2022.
Construction planning is well advanced in order to be ready to
begin construction as quickly as possible once an agreement is
signed. Despite the delay, the Directors expect the new plant to
contribute to Iofina's iodine production in Q3 2022.
Commenting on the update, President and CEO of Iofina Dr. Tom
Becker, said: "Whilst the recent spike in Covid-19 has slowed the
IO#9 process, we expect to now finalise an agreement in early Q1
2022. We are advanced with our construction planning, so will hit
the ground running once we have access to the new site.
"Importantly, market trends remain firmly in our favour, with
demand for iodine and related products strong and the iodine spot
price now reaching $50/kg. The Directors believe that the outlook
moving into 2022 is certainly encouraging."
