About Chatham Rock Phosphate
Chatham Rock Phosphate is the custodian of New Zealand’s only material resource of
environmentally friendly pastoral phosphate fertiliser. Our key role is connecting the
resource with those who need it.
Using this phosphate will support sustainable farming practices, including healthier soils and
reduced accumulation of the heavy metal cadmium, dramatically lowering runoff to
waterways and shrinking fertiliser needs over time.
The resource has an estimated worth of $5 to $7 billion, representing one of New Zealand’s
most valuable mineral assets and is of huge strategic significance because phosphate is
essential to maintain New Zealand’s high agricultural productivity.
New Zealand’s current access to phosphate is vulnerable to economic and political events in
the six countries controlling 98% of the world’s phosphate reserves, with 85% of the total in
the Western Saharan state of Morocco.
Chatham takes very seriously the responsibility vested in it through its mining permit to use
the world’s best knowledge and technology to safely extract this resource to help
sustainably feed the world.
Our initial environmental consenting process established extraction would have no
significant impact on fishing yields or profitability, marine mammals or seabirds.
