Joe Gutnick to address Mining Conference

posted on Oct 23, 2008 06:35PM

Mining industry entrepreneur Joseph Gutnick will give the keynote address at the 3rdAnnual Mining the Isa Conference at the Mount Isa Civic Centre on 17-18 November.

Mr Gutnick, President and CEO of Legend International Holdings, will speak on the world’s new appetite for phosphate and its effect on the Mt Isa region.

Demand for phosphate, used primarily in agricultural fertilizers has escalated in recent months in response to world wide food shortages and higher prices.

Legend International Holdings recently entered into a long term agreement to supply phosphate from its Lady Annie project in Queensland to Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), India’s largest fertilizer enterprise, a cooperative with over 50 million farmers associated with it.

The conference program includes presentations from established mining companies in the Mount Isa region, junior companies, and infrastructure stakeholders including water, energy and transport companies.
