Market Update
Iofina plc, specialists in the exploration and production of
iodine and manufacturers of specialty chemical products, today
provides a brief update to the market regarding its activities
during the fourth quarter of 2021 ("Q4" or the "Period").
As highlighted in Iofina's update on 29 December 2021, demand
for the Company's iodine and iodine derivatives is strong whilst
the iodine spot price has climbed to $50/Kg, a 25% increase on
where it stood in October 2021. The Board expects to see these
positive trends continue through H1 2022.
During H2 2021, the Company produced 268.8 metric tonnes ("MT")
of crystalline iodine from its five operating IOsorb(R) plants in
Oklahoma, meeting its production target of 260-275MT for the half
year. The production figure for the year totalled 518.2MT.
IOsorb(R) plant efficiencies remain strong, however as stated in
our 2021 interim report, two plants continue to receive lower brine
volumes compared to pre-pandemic levels, due to less reinvestment
by our partner in their oil operations. Iofina is aware of future
increased spending on oil production wells by our partner as oil
prices continue to be robust. The Company has a forecasted
production figure of 225-240MT for H1 2022.
Further progress has been made towards finalising an agreement
for the construction of IO#9. The Company has begun to order long
lead time items to minimise the total construction time for the
plant and expects to provide further news in the coming weeks.
Commenting, President and CEO of Iofina Dr. Tom Becker, stated:
" As highlighted in our last update, with production stabilised,
our specialty chemical business performing well, and the iodine
market fundamentals turning increasingly favourable, the outlook
for 2022 is certainly encouraging . We have taken further steps
forward to finalising an agreement with a new brine partner and
expect to have this completed soon, with our plant construction
team ready to start immediately."
