PhosCan Chemical Corp. is a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed company which is engaged in the development of the Martison Phosphate Project. The Company’s wholly-owned Martison Phosphate Deposit is located 70 kilometres north of Hearst, Ontario and has ready access to excellent infrastructure including rail, power and labour. HISTORY -- In 2006, the Company set out a path to examine the development of the Martison Phosphate Project as a vertically - integrated phosphate fertilizer producer. Under this development scenario, the Project was envisioned to consist of the Martison Phosphate Deposit and a planned phosphate mine, beneficiation plant, conversion complex and solid fertilizer production facility. Phosphate ore from the mine was to be processed into a concentrate in the beneficiation plant. The concentrate was to be transported by slurry pipeline to a conversion complex near Hearst where it was to be combined with sulphuric acid to produce phosphoric acid. Sulphuric acid was expected to be sourced either from existing nearby base metal smelters or a sulphuric acid plant which was to be built by the Company as part of the conversion complex. PhosCan was to further process the phosphoric acid into superphosphoric acid (SPA) and/or mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer which was to be sold to fertilizer dealers serving the agricultural regions of western Canada and mid-western United States. In May 2008, PhosCan received the results of a Pre-Feasibility Study of the Martison Phosphate Project as a vertically - integrated phosphate fertilizer producer which concluded that the Company should proceed immediately with a Bankable Feasibility Study of the Project. The Pre-Feasibility Study is summarized in an N.I. 43-101 compliant technical report entitled Martison Phosphate Project Preliminary Feasibility Study dated May 16, 2008, which may be found in the Investor Relations section of the website under the sub-heading Technical Reports or on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). PhosCan commenced a Bankable Feasibility Study during the winter 2008 field program with the completion of the following: a geotechnical program on the proposed mine pit and infrastructure areas; collection of a 40 tonne bulk sample for metallurgical testing and final beneficiation plant design; and a hydrogeological program examining water flows within the proposed mine pit area. During the balance of the year, the Company also completed several activities, including: an upgrade of the Fox River crossing and the existing Fushimi Road (completed by a construction company in a joint venture with a local First Nation); archaeological, traditional native land use and occupancy, and biological studies; purchase of a portion of the land required for the proposed MAP granulation plant in Brandon, Manitoba; and preliminary site layout and process flow diagrams and design criteria for the proposed MAP granulation plant and a portion of the proposed conversion complex. On December 8, 2008, PhosCan announced that, in light of current financial market and fertilizer industry conditions, it was deferring several tasks related to the development of the Martison Phosphate Project such as construction of the balance of the permanent road to access the proposed mine site and detailed engineering. As a result, PhosCan no longer expects production to begin at the Project in 2012 as previously announced. Throughout 2009, the Company remained prudent and disciplined as it worked to find the right balance between advancing the Martison Phosphate Project and preserving its cash. In that regard, the following activities were planned and executed under a reduced work program: Class C - Environmental Assessment of the permanent access road extension, permitting, geophysics at the proposed mine site, taking mine claims to lease, and pilot plant-level ore beneficiation tests utilizing the 40 tonne bulk sample. The pilot plant tests continued though out 2009 and 2010. During 2010, several developments have led the Company to consider a revised development plan for the Martison Phosphate Project as a stand-alone phosphate concentrate (phosrock) producer. Specifically with respect to the Project, these include: the pilot plant work which indicated that niobium contained in the Martison Phosphate Deposit could potentially be recovered, thereby adding a second revenue source; and the significantly reduced capital expenditures required to develop a stand-alone phosrock producer versus a vertically - integrated phosphate fertilizer producer. Within the phosphate fertilizer industry, the developments include: an improvement in phosphate fertilizer prices; permitting issues in the major phosphate-producing states of Florida and Idaho, which have contributed to a continued decline in phosrock production in North America; the expected closure in 2013-2014 of Agrium Inc.’s phosrock mine in Kapuskasing, Ontario; and the sale by Vale S.A. of minority interests in the Bayóvar phosphate mine project to the Mosaic Company and Mitsui & Co. Ltd., thereby removing a significant new near-term source of merchant phosrock supply from the market.
St Andrew Goldfields is a Toronto, ON-based company in the Agriculture & Mining sector.
Gold Reserve Inc. (“Gold Reserve” or the “Company”) is engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mining projects. The Company, an exploration stage company incorporated in 1998 under the laws of the Yukon Territory, Canada and continued to Alberta, Canada in September 2014, is the successor issuer to Gold Reserve Corporation which was incorporated in 1956. In 1992, the Company acquired and began developing what is known as the Brisas gold and copper project, located in the historic Km 88 mining district of the State of Bolivar in southeastern Venezuela (the “Brisas Project”). From 1992 to 2009, the Company invested close to US $300 million in acquisition, land exploration, development, equipment, and engineering costs, developing the Brisas Project into what management believed was a world class mining project. In April 2008 the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela revoked the Authorization to Affect, eliminating the Company`s ability to exploit the Brisas Project. In October 2009, the Company filed a Request for Arbitration under the Additional Facility Rules of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) of the World Bank, in Washington D.C., against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela seeking compensation for the losses caused by the actions of Venezuela that terminated our Brisas Project in violation of the terms of the Treaty between the Government of Canada and the Government of Venezuela for the Promotion and Protection of Investments. In September 2014, the ICSID Tribunal unanimously granted us an Award of $740.3 million. In July 2016, we signed a Settlement Agreement (as amended) whereby Venezuela agreed to pay us $792 million to satisfy the Award and $240 million for the purchase of the Mining Data for a total of approximately $1.032 billion payable in monthly installments. The first $240 million to be received by Gold Reserve from Venezuela is related to the sale of the Mining Data. Venezuela has paid the Company a total of approximately $254 million pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Approximately $913 million (including interest of approximately $135 million) remains unpaid. The Company is currently working on collecting the remaining payments contemplated under the Settlement Agreement (See Arbitral Award section) and executing the Mixed Company Agreement (See Mixed Company section). The Company maintains its executive/administrative office at 999 West Riverside Ave., Suite 401, Spokane, Washington 99201 USA, and is listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange (symbol: GRZ.V) and quoted on the OTCQX Markets Exchange (symbol: GDRZF). The Company employed 8 individuals as of June 30, 2021.
