Lure of Anglo’s copper mines could test BHP’s spending resolve
BHP needs to offer at least a 40% premium over Anglo's share price for a new takeover bid, but its CEO has committed to spending discipline.
Canpotex held a ground breaking ceremony at the railcar maintenance and staging facility located south of Potash Corp’s Lanigan mine on Friday.
In business since 1972, Canpotex is the exclusive offshore marketing company for the three big provincial Saskatchewan potash players and maintains a fleet of 5,000 specialty railcars for its customers in about 30 countries around the world.
“The site consists of about 9 hundred and 50 acres, one hundred of which will be dedicated to the facility which should be up and running next fall.”
The land is owned by Potash Corp and has been leased to Canpotex.”
Image of Canpotex train — the heaviest by capacity in North American bulk shipping — is supplied by the company. A170-railcar train carries approximately 17,500 MT
of potash, and is nearly 2,600 metres long (8,500 feet)
