The Ammaroo Project

Located in the Barkly region of the Northern Territory, Ammaroo is set to produce high-spec phosphate rock concentrate for global markets. With more than 1 billion tonnes of JORC-compliant phosphate rock, it stands as Australia’s largest phosphate resource and one of the world’s biggest undeveloped deposits.


Its combination of secured approvals from the Federal and NT Governments, infrastructure access, and export potential positions Verdant to meet the world’s growing demand for fertiliser and battery-grade materials.
