MedPhos
Unlocking the Potential of Phosphate
MedPhos, in partnership with Tunisia Mining Services SARL, is building a portfolio of phosphate assets in the north of Tunisia to become a significant fertiliser producer.
The Medphos investment trust was formed as an investment vehicle for the development of the Chaketma Phosphate Project, a world class phosphate deposit, in Tunisa. The project has been subject to extensive drilling and development studies including proving that Chaketma will be a long life mine that will add major benefit to the Tunisian economy and provide significant returns to investors.
The Chaketma Phosphate Project
The Chaketma Phosphate Project is a world-class mineral deposit, located 210km south-west of Tunis by road and just 35km from rail access which connects to the Port of Goulette / Rades for direct access to export markets.

Phosphate - Critical for estd. 40% of Global Agriculture
Phosphate is essential to agriculture because it is a key component of many biological molecules, such as DNA, RNA, ATP, and phospholipids. Phosphate helps plants to grow, develop, and produce seeds, fruits, and flowers. Without phosphate, plants would be stunted, weak, and susceptible to diseases. Phosphate also improves the quality and quantity of crops, which is important for food security and human nutrition.
