Salum Salt presents a rare opportunity to invest in a large-scale, environmentally sustainable salt production venture strategically located in southern Morocco. Positioned to capitalize on a global supply gap, the project leverages solar and wind energy to produce high-purity salt for industrial, commercial, and consumer markets. With demand for salt outpacing supply by over 3% annually—and traditional producers constrained by regulatory pressures—this greenfield development offers a timely and scalable solution.
The project is backed by secured land rights for 7,724 hectares with production targets of 2.5 million tonnes annually. Utilizing solar evaporation, it minimizes operational costs and carbon footprint, aligning with increasing global emphasis on sustainable industrial practices. Phase 1 (200K TPA) is underway, with full scalability to 2.5M TPA funded through operational cashflow and debt. Regulatory approvals, topography surveys, and strategic partnerships are in place, including with Serra Salt for engineering and Junction Contract Mining for civil works.
Investors are offered a compelling entry point: a $5M investment for 30% equity in the UK holding company, non-dilutable through full-scale development. Forecasts project $101M+ in annual profits at scale, with $121M+ in returns over 10 years. The site’s proximity to emerging logistics infrastructure (the $1.7B Dakhla Atlantique Port) enables efficient export to Europe, North America, and West Africa, including replacing Nigeria’s ~$103M salt imports from Brazil.
With no direct solar salt competitors in the region, future growth includes processing brine from green hydrogen desalination and potential entry into high-margin green chemical production. Exit strategies include strategic acquisition or IPO, underpinned by multi-generational scalability and alignment with global clean industry trends.
