Tue 31 Oct 2000 News Release
Mr. Richard Clark reports
Champion Resources has engaged CIBC Investment Banking as its financial
adviser to assist the company in securing a strategic partner or investor
in India and/or the Middle East who will invest in the company's Farim
phosphate project in Guinea Bissau, West Africa. The CIBC mandate is under
the direction of Achal Ghai. Mr. Ghai is a director with CIBC and president
of the Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), Vancouver chapter. TiE is an enormously
successful organization that has grown into a dynamic global networking
operation promoting business opportunities in India. India is a large,
growing market for phosphate consumption and Champion has already received
expressions of interest to off-take Farim phosphate rock. Mr. Ghai has
arranged a series of meetings with large phosphate consumers in India
commencing the first week of November and will be accompanying Champion
management on the trip.
Champion is poised to become an important new supplier of high-grade,
high-quality phosphate rock. The company intends to bring Farim into
production in 2002 at a rate of two million tonnes per year of phosphate
rock concentrate. Farim is an exceptionally rich and large phosphate
deposit with a mine life beyond 25 years. The Farim rock product quality
compares very favourably with competitive internationally traded rock. The
grade of Farim rock will range from 32 per cent to 36 per cent P(2)O(5) and
will have excellent physical and chemical characteristics.
For CIBC's services in securing off-take contracts, strategic partners or
investors, the company has agreed to pay CIBC certain fees, all of which
are within industry standards and which are dependent upon the amount
raised by CIBC. The agreement is subject to all requisite regulatory
approvals.
The company also announces that the Canadian Venture Exchange has approved
the company's private placement of 2.4 million units of the company at a
price of 52 cents per unit, each unit consisting of one common share and
one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each one warrant will entitle
the holders to purchase one additional common share of the company over a
period of two years; at a price of 60 cents if exercised during the first
year and at a price of 65 cents if exercised during the second year.
Closing of the placement has been extended in order for the company to make
the appropriate filings with the Alberta Securities Commission as certain
of the placements are Alberta residents.
