First Phosphate Applauds Canadian Federal Election Discourse on the Development of Quebec's Clean Igneous Phosphate Reserves
High-Purity Phosphate Resource
The Company holds over 1,000 sq. km of rare, high-purity igneous phosphate claims in Quebec, capable of supporting over 350 GWh of LFP battery production annually. Its phosphate ore is amongst the purest in the world and is naturally low in deleterious elements and can be mined without solvents.
Advanced Processing
First Phosphate's high-purity phosphate ore can be fully and sustainably refined into battery-grade material without generating gypsum slag piles, a common byproduct when processing lower grade and lower yielding phosphate ores.

Feed Phosphate Market worth $3.52 billion by 2030- Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The feed phosphate market is estimated at USD 2.79 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 3.52 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a report published by MarketsandMarkets™. Feed phosphates contribute to the overall health and welfare of animals, including bone development, energy metabolism, and immunity. Consequently, livestock and poultry farmers should benefit from feed phosphates that enhance animal welfare, leading to increased usage of feed phosphates in the future. The feed phosphates market is experiencing growth due to various factors, such as the rising global demand for animal protein, the expansion of livestock production, improved feed efficiency, a focus on animal health, regulatory support, technological advancements, greater awareness of animal nutrition, the adoption of sustainable farming practices, and ongoing research and development efforts. As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for animal-based products is expected to rise further, driving the expansion of the feed phosphates market in the future. Browse in-depth TOC on 'Feed Phosphate Market'150– Tables60– Figures250– Pages Download PDF Brochure: By form, the powdered form segment holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The powdered form of feed phosphate offers an excellent opportunity in the manufacturing of animal feed, standing out due to its ease of handling, rapid blending, and even distribution in a feed mixture. The feed phosphate is primarily phosphorus, an essential nutrient for muscle development, growth, reproduction, and overall health (bone health) and is usually sourced from dicalcium phosphate (DCP) or monocalcium phosphate (MCP). The specific formulation ensures good solubility in water or feed by incorporating dairy feed products. It dissolves easily in water or mixtures, facilitating an even distribution of phosphorus within the feed. Phosphate also contains the highest concentration of phosphorus in feed formulations, representing an inexpensive source of phosphorus to meet livestock and poultry nutrition targets throughout all life stages. By livestock, the swine segment holds the third-largest share in the feed phosphate market. According to the International Magazine for Animal Feed & Additives Industry, global pig feed production is projected to decline by 0.6% in 2024, totaling 369.293 million mt. Production growth in the European, Latin American, and North American pork segments was offset by decreases in Africa and the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania. The overall trends were partly influenced by the ability of producers in these regions to recover from previous outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF), the potential for export demand that allows Europe and Latin America to recover their lost production, and the decisions of producers in each region to maintain a recovery focus. For the pig feed segment to grow on a global basis, disease control and the stability of feed prices will affect both the porcine industry and the pig feed segment, potentially presenting significant opportunities for growth in 2024. Request Sample Pages: Based on region, North America holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The feed phosphate market in North America is steadily gaining traction due to the strong cultural ties of livestock and poultry, as well as the established industries in the region. The increased demand for quality protein sources through meat, dairy, and poultry products has led to a need for balanced nutrients in animal feed. Feed phosphates play an essential role in ensuring bone development, improving feed efficiency, and maintaining livestock health, making them a crucial ingredient in livestock formulations. Factors that may drive market growth in the region include the increased reliance on intensive livestock production, advancements in feed technology, and a growing awareness of animal nutritional management with sustainably sourced feed ingredients. The impact of climate change has prompted regulations that promote the efficient use of phosphorus as a nutrient to help maintain biodiversity. Nevertheless, feed producers will continue to respond to demands from producers for only the highest-grade phosphates through feed formulations that are both bioavailable and sustainably sourced.

Senate Republicans seek to kill US$7,500 EV tax credit
WASHINGTON: US Senate Republicans on Monday proposed a tax and budget bill that would end the US$7,500 tax credit on new electric vehicle sales 180 days after the measure is signed into law and immediately end the credit for leased EVs made outside North America. Republicans have taken aim at EVs on a number of fronts, a u-turn from former President Joe Biden's policy that encouraged electric vehicles and renewable energy to fight climate change and reduce emissions. The Republican Senate Finance Committee proposal would also end a US$4,000 used-vehicle EV tax credit 90 days after the bill's approval. The Senate Republicans propose to end, effective June 16, the US$7,500 credit for leased vehicles that would also not meet the purchasing credit. Currently leased vehicles qualify without any restrictions on content or where they were assembled. Leased vehicles could still get the tax credit for 180 more days after passage of the measure if they meet the same stringent North American assembly, battery and critical mineral content rules as purchased vehicles. The House of Representatives version would allow the US$7,500 new-EV tax credit to continue through the end of 2025, and through the end of 2026 for automakers that have not yet sold 200,000 EVs before killing it. The Republican Senate proposal would exempt interest paid on auto loans from taxes for new cars made in the US through 2028, but phases it out for individual taxpayers making more than US$100,000 annually. The House bill would impose a new US$250 annual fee on EVs for road repair costs and US$100 for hybrid vehicles. The House bill would phase out EV battery production tax credits in 2028. President Donald Trump last week signed a resolution approved by Congress to bar California's landmark plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035, which has been adopted by 11 other states representing a third of the US auto market.
