B2i Digital, Inc. announced on September 17, 2026, that Canadian Phosphate Limited (ASX: CP8 | OTCQB: CPHOF) is its newest Featured Company. The Australian mineral exploration company is building a phosphate business across North America in a commodity the United States, Canada, and the European Union each classify as critical. B2i Digital will introduce Canadian Phosphate to its network of retail and institutional market participants, with a full company profile available at b2idigital.com.
The announcement matters because phosphate is a key ingredient in fertilizers and an essential input for global food production, yet Canada currently mines none of its own phosphate despite importing roughly $2 billion of phosphate fertilizer annually. According to David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc., Canada already produces nitrogen and potash, making phosphate the missing piece in its agricultural supply chain. "Canada imports about $2 billion of phosphate fertilizer a year and mines none of its own phosphate," Shapiro said. "Canadian Phosphate is drilling in British Columbia right now and closed on a Utah project next door to one of Simplot's mines in July."
Canadian Phosphate holds 100% of the Wapiti and Fernie projects in British Columbia and, since July, 100% of the Diamond Mountain project in Utah. A 3,000-meter drilling program is underway at Wapiti under Dahrouge Geological Consulting. On September 8, 2026, the company reported it had extended the phosphate-bearing seam to about 9 kilometers on the eastern limb, materially improving its understanding of the geology, geometry, and structure of the Wapiti deposit. Assays are due in September, with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate under the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code expected in the fourth quarter.
Diamond Mountain sits on state-owned land about 35 kilometers northeast of Vernal, Utah, adjacent to Simplot's 4 million tonne per year Vernal phosphate mine. In August, the company added a U.S. listing on the OTCQB Venture Market under CPHOF alongside its ASX listing. The current work program is funded from a rights issue and placement completed in the second quarter, in which every director participated.
Managing Director and CEO Daniel Gleeson spent over 20 years in agribusiness across Australia, Asia, North America, and Europe. The board includes Blackwood Capital co-founder Stuart Richardson as Non-Executive Chairman, 35-year financial adviser Malcolm Weber, and Canada-based mining veteran Peter Doyle, who joined in the second quarter. "Our strategy is to build a vertically integrated, mine-to-market phosphate business across North America," Gleeson said. "Working with B2i Digital lets us explain the plan to a much broader group of North American investors."
For investors, the news signals growing attention to domestic phosphate supply at a time when food security and critical mineral sourcing are high priorities. B2i Digital's media network spans more than 800 news, broadcast, and trade outlets with a combined monthly audience exceeding 330 million, plus over 1.7 million followers and 70,000 opt-in email subscribers.
