Spur Ventures (TSX:SVU, OTC:BB-SPVEF) is a natural resource company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. The Company's main focus is the development of two joint venture phosphate fertilizer projects in China, the world's largest fertilizer market, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Spur BVI.
The first joint venture, Yichang Maple Leaf Chemicals (YMC), involves
The development of two of China's largest undeveloped phosphate deposits, and
A world-scale, flexible phosphate fertilizer plant with total planned production of approximately one million tonnes per annum.
The second joint venture, Yichang Spur Chemicals (YSC), is an existing compound phosphate fertilizer plant (NPK) which is being expanded in partnership with YMC to produce mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizers for the domestic Chinese market.
Both YMC and YSC are located near Yichang City in Hubei Province, China.
Spur is also examining opportunities to use its balance sheet resources to pursue potential strategic investments in natural resource projects in low risk jurisdictions. The Company is looking to leverage its extensive experience in both agriculture and base and precious metals to create value for shareholders.
GROWING WITH CHINA
China is the world's largest and fastest growing fertilizer market representing over one-third of global demand in nitrogen, phosphate and potash. China needs to increase its food production by 35% by 2015 to be able to feed its increasing population and this can only be accomplished through the use of high quality seeds, good agronomic management practices and proper, balanced fertilization.
Spur Ventures Inc. aims to be the premier integrated fertilizer manufacturer in China, with plans to produce up to one million tonnes per year of high -quality NPK fertilizer for domestic consumption in the central province of Hubei, China. These expansion plans include the development of the largest phosphate deposit in China, located near Yichang City.
