About 15% of phosphate reserves are found in volcanic (extrusive) igneous rocks. These reserves are found in Russia, Finland, South Africa and Brazil. Most phosphate reserves are from sedimentary rocks. The phosphate forms in the shallow oceans mainly due to bacterial activity, but only when several conditions are met.

The foskorite (serpentine-magnetite-calcite-dolomite-apatite) zone contains the highest concentrations of apatite, and is at present the major source of the phos-phate produced at Phalaborwa. The average in situ grade of the foskorite is in the region of 10 per cent PPs (25 per cent apatite).

Multinationals are jockeying for position, seeing potential in the continent's push for food security and its current low fertiliser use: 4.7kg per resident compared to 200kg in India or China. While phosphate prices have fallen, with good-grade ore costing about $100 per tonne compared to $400 in 2008-2009, investment remains buoyant.
