First Phosphate Endorsed by G7 Summit & Prime Minister Carney: New Partners & Definitive Offtake
Mining Stock EducationShow Notes
First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS | OTCQX: FRSPF) just landed a wave of international backing at the 52nd G7 Summit in Évian, France — and CEO John Passalacqua joins MSE to break down what it means for the company's mine-to-market LFP battery supply chain build-out in Quebec.
This episode digs into the details of the agreements signed under the Critical Minerals Resilience and Production Alliance, including:
• A letter of interest for up to CDN $275 million in guarantees from Denmark's export credit agency (EIFO) to help finance the Bégin-Lamarche mine
• LOIs from Italy's SACE, CDP, and SIMEST, alongside engineering group MAIRE, to support First Phosphate's phosphoric acid plant at Port Saguenay using Ballestra technology
• A definitive offtake agreement for a minimum of 200,000 tonnes per annum of phosphate concentrate from Bégin-Lamarche
• A definitive offtake agreement for a minimum of 60,000 tonnes per annum of phosphoric acid from the Port Saguenay plant
John explains how these deals fit into the broader G7 alliance launched by PM Carney in 2025, what each piece of financing and offtake actually de-risks for the project, where things stand on permitting and construction timelines, and why he believes First Phosphate is positioned to lead North America's push for a secure, traceable battery-grade phosphate supply chain.
If you're tracking the critical minerals buildout, North American LFP battery supply chains, or First Phosphate specifically, this is a must-watch update straight from the source.

David Erfle joins MSE for his monthly episode. David explains the pullback in gold and silver, what he heard at the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit, why he’s moving into discovery-stage explorers, the Roxmore Resource and SSR Mining deal, and whether the TSX Venture chart is signaling a top.

CEO Richard Osmond explains sponsor Element 29 Resources’ investment value proposition in this episode. Element 29 is a copper explorer in Peru, and its flagship Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project already has a 321 million tonne inferred resource. Richard says the goal is much bigger. The company wants to double the size of the pit and is targeting a tier-one deposit of more than 1 billion tonnes at about 0.5% copper equivalent, or roughly 5 million tonnes of contained copper. Element 29 is well funded to pursue that goal. It raised about $47 million in 2026, and with roughly $11 million in warrants coming due, it expects a budget of close to $60 million CAD to be spent over the coming years. Support comes from well-respected, strategic investors such as Randy Smallwood, George Brack, Ross Beaty, and Alex Gubbins.
