Legend International Holdings Announces Long Term Offtake Agreement for Phosphate Rock With India's Largest Fertilzer Enterprize (IFFCO)

Legend International Holdings, Inc (OTCBB:LGDI), with phosphate projects in the State of Queensland, Australia, announces that it has entered into a long term offtake and supply agreement for a minimum of 3 million tonnes annually of concentrated rock phosphate from its Lady Annie project in Queensland, Australia, with Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (“IFFCO”). Legend and IFFCO have decided to pursue the Project in Joint Venture, the terms of which are under discussion.

IFFCO is India’s largest fertilizer enterprise, a cooperative with over 50 million farmers associated with it, primarily engaged in production and marketing of nitrogenous and phosphate fertilizers in India. IFFCO has five fertilizer plants in India with a domestic annual capacity of producing 4.3 million tonnes of phosphatic fertilizers and 4.2 million tonnes of nitrogenous fertilizers. In addition to setting up the fertilizer manufacturing units in India, IFFCO has made strategic investments in several joint ventures in India and overseas. More details on IFFCO are available on its website www.iffco.nic.in.

Financing and Joint Venture options for the capital cost of Legend’s phosphate project are currently under discussion between the parties as is the price of the phosphate rock. The price of the rock will be negotiated on a fair and equitable basis for both companies based on international market prices applicable for the Indian market with an appropriate discount. Negotiations in regards to finance options should be concluded in coming months.
