Western Resources Corp. Provides Corporate Update
24 Maio 2017 - 8:33PM
Western Resources Corp. (TSX:WRX) (FSE:WR0) (the
"Company") is pleased to provide an update following the completion
of the Plan of Arrangement on March 31, 2017.
The Company has replaced its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Western Potash Corp.’s listing status on the Toronto
Stock Exchange and commenced trading under the symbol WRX effective
April 5, 2017. The Company’s shares also began trading on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange effective April 7, 2017 under the symbol
WR0.
The Company continues to be dedicated to moving
forward the 146,000 tonne per year Milestone phase-one Potash
Project in Regina, Saskatchewan. The project team held a very
successful Community Open House on April 11, 2017 in the town of
Kronau, which is located near the plant site. Engineering firm AMEC
Foster Wheeler provided in-depth information on the plans for the
processing facilities, and the Saskatchewan Mining Association
(SMA) provided a hands-on solution mining demonstration. The event
was well attended with about 80 visitors from the region, as well
as representatives from the Provincial government and the local
business community.
The Company has also engaged independent financing experts to
help secure strategic partner(s)/investor(s) who will provide
sufficient funds for the construction and operation of the
Milestone phase one project. The Milestone project team, and the
engaged financing experts, have confidence in reaching the proposed
strategic partnership.
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved an investment
proposal on low-rise multi-family development projects with
Formwerks Boutique Properties. Formwerks is an award-winning firm
with a portfolio of over 600 custom single-family homes and
townhouses in the Greater Vancouver area. Known for its strong
reputation on architectural design and land development, Formwerks
has become a brand of quality and assurance in the Greater
Vancouver real estate market.
Western Resources’ Chairman James Moore noted, “I’m pleased to
see that the Milestone Phase One Potash Project continues to make
progress and is moving forward. In the meantime, I am excited that
the Company has started the process of expanding an investment
portfolio into other areas following the recent corporate
restructuring. This new move will facilitate the Company’s ability
to implement alternative value enhancing opportunities. The
decision to partner with Formwerks is a good start in diversifying
the Company’s assets. It will allow the Company’s cash to earn
better returns and help improve the company’s asset structure. This
investment will start to generate cash flows to the Company, and
therefore increase our shareholder value.”
