FÜHRUNGSTEAM VON WESTERN TRIFFT SICH MIT DEM WIRTSCHAFTSMINISTERIUM VON SASKATCHEWAN
27/10/2016
Western freut sich, zu berichten, dass am 13. Oktober 2016 ein Treffen mit hohen Beamten des Wirtschaftsministeriums der kanadischen Provinz Saskatchewan  in Regina stattfand.

Im Rahmen dieses Gespräches bekräftigte die Provinzregierung ihre Unterstützung für die einzigartige technologische Innovation, die im Zuge der Erschließung des Projekts Milestone erforscht wird. Dieses Pilotprojekt könnte einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Innovation der Kalibergbauverfahren in Saskatchewan beitragen, indem es die Umweltauswirkungen der Halden beseitigt, den Wasserverbrauch im Vergleich zu anderen Kalibetrieben in der Provinz senkt und in eine kostengünstige Mine entwickelt werden kann, die selbst auf dem aktuell geringen Kalipreisniveau wirtschaftlich sein wird.

Herr Geoffrey Chang, Chairman und neu ernannter CEO von Western Potash Corp., erneuerte die Zusage des Unternehmens, die Regierung und alle anderen Interessensvertreter über die Entwicklung des Projekts auf dem Laufenden zu halten.  

Vom Führungsteam des Unternehmens nahmen Herr George Gao, Chief Administrative Officer, Herr Matthew Wood, Project Director, Herr Arthur Ma, Vice President, und Jerry Zhang, Corporate Secretary, an diesem Treffen teil.

Wenn die Inder auf einmal bis zu 7m Tonnen pro Jahr aus Encanto saugen wollen, werden die Chinesen nicht bei 150k stehen bleiben. Gibts von den zwei Chin. Banken einen Baukredi, werden die sich auch an Western beteiligen. Hoffe die von Western zurück gekauften Aktien wandern dahin;-)

Hab da mal ein bisken genauer hingeschaut: Also zu CAMC gehört seit Jahren Procon, Alberta, Minenentwickler, haben für Potash Corp gearbeitet und arbeiten momentan auf Esterhazy, Mosaic. http://www.procongroup.net/project/k2-mine-brine-inflow-project/ Das die eine 150k Pilot bohren is wie Fliegen mit Kanonen jagen. Zu CAMC gehört ferner ein Düngerhandel und China Ocean Aviation Group mit drei Redereien mit Bulkfrachtern. http://en.coagi.com.cn/ywly/hkhy/ Zum Finanzieren von Minen ham se auch ne Sparte. Also zwei Banken waren da, eine grosse Bank ist an Western beteiligt. und jetzt legense ein 150k Ei? Nebenan liegt Acron/Rio siech und Western hält die Bohrrechte. Dr. Wood von Vale nebenan is an Bord. Yancoal hat für 100 Mios Potashrechte von Acron gekauft und will ne Mine bauen hat aber kaum cash. Irgendwas bauen die da, China Potash Company, hattip Börsenclown  

Thairat, was meinst du, steigt der Kurs weiter??, Käufer gab es genug am Freitag.
 

kann es jederzeit geben. Tairui is um die 0,30 cad eingestiegen, China Blue Chemical um die 0,71 cad, das wären doch mal zwei nette Marken, die der Kurs überspringen könnte. CAMCE und damit der grosse, kanadische Minenentwickler Prokon haben sich mit etwas mehr als 5% an Western beteiligt, damit rückt die Kapatizitätsausweitung auf 2,8 mt pro Jahr näher.  

Jetzt hat uns Western schon zweimal auf die Möglichkeit der Förderkapazitätsausweitung auf 2,8 Millionen hingewiesen. Beim nächsten Hinweis, Hafen, Regina Wasserversorgung, Bahnkontrakt sollte der Kurs auf die von China Blue bezahlten 0,70 Cad klettern.

Den Chinesen gehts nicht um den niedrigen Capex der Pilot, die sind scharf auf die Methode das Potash aus dem Boden zu holen.
