The new and larger oil processing plant in Emerald, Queensland is expected to have a capacity to crush 200 tons of oilseeds per day. The new Emerald plant is currently in development (see “Pre-construction Activities” in the table above). The Queensland Government awarded a governmental grant of approximately AUD$5 million in funding and tax credits to support the Emerald, Queensland facility. Approval of this funding occurred on December 14, 2023, with funding commenced in March 2024. The land lease for the property underlying the Emerald, Queensland facility commenced in January 2023, and the local development was submitted and is now under review by the local council. The groundbreaking will occur in the first quarter of 2025 calendar year with the construction period expected from January 2025 to December 2026 and the receipt of the certificate of completion is expected in March 2025. The Company expects the construction of the plant to require capital expenditures of AUD$24 million.
