30 Sep 2026Ryder CapitalHeldRyder Capital continues to hold BCI Minerals as a core passive holding because it sees the Mardie Salt Project anchoring substantial future gains for the portfolio, despite BCI reaching a ~20% portfolio weight after rising 57.0% in the quarter. Ryder notes the market is shifting focus from construction to production: Mardie produced its first 49,000 tonnes of crystallised salt in FY26, construction was 85% complete at 30 June, and the project remains within its $1,443m salt-first budget with $258m to complete against $423m of liquidity. First salt on ship is now guided for the March quarter of 2027, a modest slip after two late-season cyclones. A Sulphate of Potash pilot plant contract was also awarded within existing funding, de-risking a second earnings stream.

26 Aug 2026Sandon CapitalHeldSandon Capital continues to hold BCI Minerals, noting construction of its Mardie Salt Project has been largely de-risked, with first salt shipments expected in the first half of CY27. The manager sees an attractive outlook for the regional industrial salt market given growing demand in Asia and limited new supply, and expects strong free cash flow from Mardie over the next 3-5 years to fund the sulphate of potash project, reduce debt and support an inaugural dividend, with excess port capacity and potential additional products such as pharmaceutical-grade salt, bromine and magnesium flagged as further medium-term growth opportunities.

About BCI Minerals Ltd

Materials, Metals and Mining

BCI Minerals (ASX:BCI), developer of the Mardie salt and potash project, is Ryder Capital's largest holding. In August 2026, Sandon Capital noted construction at Mardie has been largely de-risked, with first salt shipments expected in the first half of 2027, and sees an attractive outlook. Ryder Capital, the third-largest shareholder behind the Stokes family and AustralianSuper, said BCI reversed months of weakness in June after a broker initiation highlighted the proximity of completion and material undervaluation, after reporting construction more than 80% complete. BCI Minerals operates in the Materials sector within the Metals and Mining industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 18 comments from 2 fund managers, Ryder Capital and Sandon Capital. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in West Perth, BCI Minerals is developing the Mardie Salt and Potash Project in Western Australia's Pilbara, which will produce high-purity industrial salt and sulphate of potash fertiliser using solar evaporation.
