Mining company Vale is seeking investors for its project to extract potassium in Rio Colorado, Malargue, Argentina.
Chinese and Japanese businessmen visited the site a few days ago to evaluate possible investments.
Vale is being forced to seek partners due to declines in world potassium prices. When the exploitation of Malargue was initially studied, a ton of potassium was worth USD 900 million. Today the price has halved.
