empgf/epk.v C$.31 I have bought this potash stock based on Danny Deadlock's recommendation. Read his article. This company has a Utah mine site containing SOP. There are very few deposits of this type of potash. SOP could end up in really high demand if drought conditions persist in places like California. Take note of the high value of the deposit versus EPK's current market cap.
Fertilizer stocks have done poorly recently but this looks like a potential big winner going forward. Bobwins

PART I. > U.S. Tobacco Industry reporting Sulphate of Potash (SOP) shortages. > China has 350 million smokers who consume 1.7 Trillion cigarettes annually. > MOP damages tobacco crops / SOP helps them survive and thrive. > Tobacco industry still learning about the benefits of SOP and harm from chlorine.
PART II. > State of California reporting tight SOP supplies and high prices as drought blankets the state. > U.S. Government releases May 2014 Climate-Change Report indicating long term Drought risks. > SOP very beneficial in drought conditions while MOP (86% of global supply) is damaging.
I have been following EPK with Ticker Trax subscribers for a couple months now and April 11th I also featured the company in this free weekend column:
On May 5th EPK announced a critically important event in their Utah mine development plan – approval from the Utah government of ALL necessary water permits.
Other recent developments include shortages of SOP across key specialty crop regions (including California and the tobacco states) plus SOP shortages now being reported across Europe.
EPM Mining owns one of the only (commercial scale) SOP brine deposits in the world and economics of their project show a 30 year mine life capable of producing enormous cash-flow and earnings.
This remains a story that is very low on investor radar but has very compelling potential.
My new report this weekend is long (15 pages) but you should find it very insightful.
