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  

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

Zwischenkonso 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.  

Förderkapazitätsausweitung auf 2,8 Millionen 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.
