We note your response to comment 2. We understand from your response that you consolidate the
YPH results in your financial results, however the provisions under Item 1303(b)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K require resource and reserve disclosure to be presented on an attributable basis. Please confirm that you will present the YPH
resource and reserve disclosure on an attributable basis. In the alternative we would not object to the inclusion of an addition column(s) in your resource and reserve tables that quantifies the amount of contained P2O5 tonnage associated with your attributable interest, in addition to the quantity that is based on a 100% interest.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and confirms that in subsequent filings, we will include additional column(s) in our resource and reserve
tables that quantifies the amount of contained P2O5 tonnage associated with our attributable interest in YPH.
As an example, the Company is providing a template below of the revised tables for the resources and reserves of YPH.
