The Potash Project That Caught Capitol Hill’s Eye
Millennial Potash lands U.S. government backing as Gabon project gains global momentum

In a bold show of international confidence, Millennial Potash Corp (TSXV: MLP | OTCQB: MLPNF) has landed a strategic development commitment from none other than the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. The DFC has pledged up to USD $3 million to support Millennial’s Banio Potash Project in Gabon, a move that not only fuels one of Africa’s most promising fertilizer plays but also signals growing U.S. geopolitical interest in securing global food and resource supply chains. This funding isn’t just capital, it’s validation.
The joint signing ceremony held in Washington D.C. wasn’t your average photo op. In attendance was Gabon’s President Brice Oligui Nguema standing beside Millennial’s Chair Farhad Abasov and DFC senior leadership including Head of Investments Conor Coleman and Acting CEO Dev Jagadesan. The presence of such high-profile figures makes it clear this isn’t just another mining deal. It’s a handshake across continents, aligning strategic interests in agriculture, development, and critical minerals.
