"What the Allana ICL deal could mean for Potash"
http://potashinvestingnews.com/11739-what-the-allana-icl-deal-could-mean-for-potash-ma.html
I sold all my shares at $0.48 the morning after the announcement.
I enjoyed all our healthy debates. I'm completely reinvested - NOT in potash.
Good luck to everyone.
Congrats Ogi!
I am enjoying a Triple Vodka Soda at the moment. Huge day - but more good days to come in my opinion.
I appreciate all the great discussions we had. And I'll be holding out for another offer or worst case scenario buying up all the <$0.50 shares before august for guaranteed profits.
There's a $5.5 Million contract break away fee.
With 325 million shares outstanding - this is only an extra $0.02 / share in a buyout option for another "interested party"
$0.58 Buyout to shareholders with 5.5 million to ICL (Overall $0.60 to buyer) is still cheap for this MOP SOP project and the Chinese are already interested.
Im just making these Numbers up, might have to be substantially more. and ICL still has first right of refusal.
Just my 2 cents
AAA Allana Potash BuyOut!!!
$0.50 / Share
If any other companies are thinking about buying AAA they better make an offer!!!
The Arrangement Agreement provides that shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") will be entitled to receive $0.50 in cash, except for Liberty Metals and Mining Holdings, LLC ("LMM") who will receive the equivalent consideration of $0.50 in ordinary shares of ICL, for each Common Share exchanged. Based on the closing price of the Common Shares on March 26, 2015, the transaction value of $0.50 per Common Share represents a 51.5% premium to Allana's closing Common Share price of $0.33 on the last trading day before the announcement of the Transaction and a 37% premium to Allana's 20-day volume-weighted trading price of $0.365/share on March 26, 2015.

To me it looks like we're heading into the $0.80's. Haha Cheeky.
“If you're right about WHAT will happen, don't worry about WHEN it will happen"
Those are the wise words of a man who made 70 BILLION dollars. His name is Warren Buffett.
I believe ICL will not let this AAA Allana Potash project get into someone else's hands. They are fully committed in my opinion.
They (ICL) have had a lot of troubles (strike) back at home and probably had to put a few things on the back burner.
Sounds like the ICL Dead Sea strike may wrap up soon and once the dust settles I wouldn't be surprised to see some positive news.
Anybody can throw out #'s (Cheeky) and anyone can throw out dates (Ertwo) but I think the investors who truly believe in this project will be greatly rewarded.
We're all here for the same reason.
Some people like the Doom and gloom approach because they think it will get them cheaper shares. Those same people disappear when things are up (while they sell their shares)
I sure hope they get caught with their pants down!
So when do we expect news???
I'm thinking this week...
Thoughts?
Agreed.
Even the slimey day traders are all holding positions because they know don't want to get caught with their pants down.
Farhad said "Within Weeks"... And then they engaged a financial advisor.
IMO things are looking great!
AAA Allana Potash
”We expect that yields from Africa are going to increase dramatically. The agricultural output is starting to improve dramatically with more farmer education, better transportation and infrastructure,” Kelertas said.
His company is doing its best to make that happen via the recently launched ”Potash for Growth” program in Ethiopia, which it initiated together with ICL (NYSE:ICL).

Buyout or Joint Venture?
What are everyone's thoughts?
What will the Recently hired Financial Advisor recommend?
Anybody catch his (advisor) name?
SOP Joint Venture?
Sell the SOP?
Sell it all?
"Chief Executive Farhad Abasov said the company will decide within weeks whether to structure its 1-million-tonne, $787-million SOP project as a joint venture, subsidiary, or spinoff. It will then talk to Yara about combining projects, but is also speaking to two other fertilizer producers and an industrial company."

Great post OGI.
Sounds like your not Mr grumpy pants anymore!
OGI do you know when ICL's warrants expire?
"You can take all the SOP projects on the drawing board and it won't make a dent in that demand-supply deficit,"
"We see strong growth for SOP and an underlying weakness in supply," said Yara's Bernhard Mauritz Stormyr."

Allana Potash seeks partner to produce premium potash

He's not even attempting to "fool" anyone.
He's a shareholder himself and he's going after the best possible scenario for all of us.
MOP is entering a price war.
Having 2 options sounds better than 1.

Farhad speaks shortly at the PDAC.
If anyone attending this or does anybody know if there will be a recording / video available?
I think he meant $1.09!!!
Quite possible when entertaining the buy out idea
Does anyone else think this "Financial Advisor" sounds a bit like a "Negotiator"???
"Allana has retained a financial advisor to assist the Company in its evaluation of various options to maximize the value of the SOP potential for Allana shareholders"
AAA Allana Potash - SOP Results
"The PEA also allows Allana to move forward confidently with its project finance plans and ongoing talks with potential strategic partners. Allana has retained a financial advisor to assist the Company in its evaluation of various options to maximize the value of the SOP potential for Allana shareholders.”"

We will never see $0.20's again
Hey Folks
Please take a minute to fill out this
ANONYMOUS survey that was posted on another board. I'm curious to see the results.
There's 2 questions :
-How much do you have invested in AAA?
-How long have you been invested?
Totally ANONYMOUS.
I'll share results when I see them.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q8HY763
Hopefully you can still get some under $0.40!
If a successful SOP PEA comes through....
And if "Market Cap is MOP ONLY"
(out of the presentation)
How much more SOP is on the property?
How much more is SOP worth?
I'm getting excited!
Farhad is speaking at the PDAC on Tuesday.
Volume suggests he might have something exciting to speak about.

Another SOP Seeker
South Boulder Mines Ltd. (ASX:STB) announced its mineral resource estimate for the Colluli potash project in East Africa: 1.289Bt, average grade 10.76% of K2O (potassium oxide), with a contained K2SO4 (potassium sulphate) equivalent1 of 260Mt. A pre-feasibilty study is slated for February 2015.
Managing Director, Paul Donaldson, said, “There is no question about the size and potential of the Colluli resource. It will form the backbone of what will become a significant project in the future. This work verifies this as one of the largest potassium sulphate resources globally.”
As quoted in the press release:
Highlights

South Boulder Mines (ASX:STB) (“South Boulder”, “STB”, or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the JORC 2012 Mineral Resource estimate for the Colluli potash project in Eritrea, East Africa.
The total Mineral Resource estimate comprises 1,289 Million tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 10.76% K2O.
The Mineral Resource estimate was conducted and completed by AMC Consultants (AMC) at the request of South Boulder, and is a review of previous work conducted by Ercosplan Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau mbH (Ercosplan).
The review was carried out in preparation for the allocation of the Maiden Reserve for the Colluli potash project, which will also be completed by AMC.
South Boulder Managing Director, Paul Donaldson said “This is an excellent outcome. As well as 210 million tonnes of uplift in the Mineral Resource estimate, 97% of the Mineral Resource now sits in the Measured and Indicated categories.”
“There is no question about the size and potential of the Colluli resource. It will form the backbone of what will become a significant project in the future. This work verifies this as one of the largest potassium sulphate resources globally,” he said.
“It is also appropriate that we change our resource grade reporting from % KCl to % K2O at this juncture, due to the combination of salts in the resource which favour the production of potassium sulphate (SOP) and is the focus of our pre-feasibility study.”

On a tear
Call me the board idiot but I don't think they will be mining SOP and MOP at the and time.
It's kind of like brushing your teeth in the shower - it's possible but nobody does it.

Allana Potash (TSX:AAA) — Booth 3118 — Focused on its flagship Ethiopia potash project in the Danakil Basin, Allana also holds a 100-percent interest in a land package in the potash-rich Nequen province of Argentina.
I don't think you can mine both of them at the same time using solution mining.
Combination of solution mining and conventional mining if its feasible?
But can you get the SOP if you've already used solution mining for the MOP?

I think the SOP PEA will have everyone's answers. I have a lot of questions too.
Hopefully it comes soon
Came out at the AGM. Awaiting SOP PEA.
At the AGM (JAN 20) it was stated that they will have SOP results in a couple of weeks. Times up. Therefore news should be any day.
I think the MOP FEED was suspended because someone showed interest in buying AAA for the SOP resources. It's my understanding that MOP & SOP are considered to be one resource. You can't mine both of them. It's one of the other.
IMO
The absence of SOP news is an obvious sign that strategic initiatives are currently taking place.
Ethiopia Fertilizer News Roundup.
Addis Ababa – Ethiopia’s annual fertilizer consumption has reached 1.2 million tons.
This was disclosed by the Advisor of the Minister of Agriculture with the rank of State Minister, Professor Tekalegn Mamo, at the First East African Fertilizer Conference that wrapped up Friday, Feb. 20.
Event website here http://www.argusmedia.com/events/argus-events/europe/fert-africa/home
The nation has been carrying out structural transformation in the use of fertilizers during the past few years, he said.
Ethiopia started applying chemical fertilizer to boost its agricultural productivity in the late 1960s. The low fertilizer consumption has since then increased to 1.2 million ton, the advisor explained.
Despite this, there is no current information on the level of fertility of soil in the country.
The Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with Ethiopian Agriculture and Transformation Agency (EATA) has designed two key national strategies to further increase the amount of fertilizer to be used as agriculture input.
Consolidating consultancy service to increase the culture of fertilizer utilization, and identifying crops that use multi-fertilizer as well as national soil fertility map program are the two key strategies, Professor Tekalegn said.
Ethiopian Agriculture and Transformation Agency (EATA) was established to realize these strategies, he added.
Soil fertility map has been prepared and in some 370 woredas are identified minerals that indicate the level of soil.
The government has also been undertaking integrated activities to protect land degradation during the past 15 years, the advisor noted.
Community-based basin control strategy is the major contributor for the success attained and close to 20 million hectares of land is revived and has become productive, Professor Tekalegn stated.
The national average fertilizer consumption in Ethiopia has reached 50 kg per hectare.
EATA CEO, Khalid Bomba, said on his part the first conference in East Africa would promote the nation’s fertilizer market to fertilizer producers.
International fertilizer producing companies and stakeholders are in attendance of the conference
http://eco-opia.org/2015/02/22/23-february-2015-news-round-up/
Well this week was the week everyone was expecting to see the SOP Results.
So do we get them tomorrow?
Or
Maybe AAA already has them and something bigger is going on behind the scenes?
Or maybe they're just legitimately delayed..
