South African companies are scheduled to have a significant role in Kore Potash's Republic of Congo's (RoC) mine. South African firms are said to be involved developing and constructing the plant, as well as providing overland conveyor supply and financing for the $2bn Kola project. US and French firms have had a hand in developing the definitive feasibility study. The facility, which has high-quality deposits at a third of the depth of other mines, is projected to produce potash at $100 per ton for delivery to Brazil, conveniently located across the Atlantic. In addition to its potential economic benefits, Russia also sees an opportunity to diversify away from crude oil imports by exporting natural gas via pipelines through Central Asia.
