US finds ‘world-class’ phosphate in Iraq

[audigger]

Iraq possesses “world-class” reserves of phosphate with the four biggest deposits holding 5.75bn tons, 9 per cent of the global total, says the US Geological Survey.

The findings give Iraq the second biggest phosphate reserves in the world, after Morocco. Two of these deposits, in the western desert province of Anbar, are big enough to rank among the largest 10 per cent in the world.
