dukezero schrieb am 17.07.2008, 10:39 Uhr[/url]"]Stuttgart In den kommenden fünf Jahren schätzt der deutsche Kaliproduzent K+S, dass die weltweite Nachfrage nach Kalidünger jährlich zwischen 3 % bis 5 % wachsen wird.

Dies erklärte der Vorstandsvorsitzende Norbert Steiner vergangene Woche im Gespräch mit Dow Jones Newswires. Unterstellt man ein Wachstum von 3 % stiege das Kalidüngemittel-Volumen auf 70,7 Mio. Tonnen bis 2013, bei 5 % Wachstum wären es sogar 77,9 Mio. Tonnen Kali. In diesem Jahr erwartet K+S eine Nachfrage von 61 Mio. Tonnen Kalidüngemittel weltweit und eine Produktion etwa in gleicher Höhe. Selbst wenn bis 2013 alle angekündigten Kapazitätserweiterungen realisiert sein sollten, werden sich Angebot und Nachfrage nach Auffassung Steiners bestenfalls die Waage halten. Bei 3 % Wachstum wäre ein zusätzliches Kaliwerk mit 2,0 Mio. Tonnen jährlich erforderlich, um mit der Nachfrage Schritt zu halten.

Derzeit gibt es weltweit 35 Kaliminen, sechs davon gehören K+S. Das Unternehmen gehört mit 11,8 % Weltmarktanteil hinter der Konkurrenz aus Kanada und Weißrussland zu den großen Anbietern weltweit.

Die hervorragenden Aussichten für den Düngemittelrohstoff Kalisalz haben insbesondere in Kanada zu einem (kleinen) Boom von Kali-Explorationsunternehmen geführt. Im Mai 2008 ist Western Potash Corp. (WKN: A0QZLM) an die Börse gegangen. Western Potash hat insgesamt 42 Mio. CAD an Eigenkapital eingeworben und besitzt nun 542 Quadratkilometer an Explorationsliegenschaften direkt neben bereits erkundeten großen Kalisalzlagerstätten. Bestätigen sich die Aussichten nach einem großen Vorkommen, zählt Western Potash Corp. sicherlich zu den größten Profiteuren eines kontinuierlich steigenden Preises für Kalisalz.

Western Potash Corp. to Commence Drilling on the Russell-Miniota Potash Permits

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 17, 2008) - Western Potash Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WPX)(FRANKFURT:AHE) is pleased to announce that it has received its initial potash well licenses from Manitoba Science, Technology, Energy and Mines (STEM) and has mobilized a drill rig supplied by Ensign Drilling Partnership to the Company's Russell-Miniota Exploration Permits in Manitoba. These permits comprise 555 square kilometers, are adjacent to BHP Billiton's Potash Lease and Agrium's Exploration permits along the Manitoba border, and lie within 13km of Saskatchewan Potash Corp.'s Rocanville potash mine.

Drilling to further define the extent, grade and type of potash mineralization present on the property will commence immediately. The Company plans to complete an initial five potash exploration wells with an option to extend the program by an additional 10 wells, as results warrant. All holes will be drilled vertically targeting the Prairie Evaporite formation, which will be conventionally cored using inverted drilling fluids so as to not dissolve the salt and potash sequences. Samples will be collected from the potash sequence for observation and analysis, and each hole will be logged using industry standard down-hole geophysical logging techniques. The potential for the property to host potash deposits has been indicated by seismic data purchased by Western Potash, and historic drilling which intersected potash with grades up to 20% K2O over 3.7m (gamma ray logs).

The Company is also obtaining permits and licenses to complete a $1.2 Million, 175 line km 2-D seismic survey on the property to assist in its interpretation of the salt and potash sequence in the area. Prospective salt beds indicated by these seismic surveys will be further tested with additional drilling as part of the ongoing exploration programs. A $5 Million exploration program has been approved by Western's board for this initial drilling and seismic program with a provision to expand the budget by an additional $5 Million once positive results are received.

Western Potash Corp. is a mineral exploration company engaged in the evaluation, exploration and development of potash mineral properties in Western Canada. The Company intends to define and develop a world-class potash deposit in an ecologically sustainable, economically efficient and socially responsible manner.

The in-house qualified persons for the purposes of NI 43-101 guidelines are J. Patricio Varas, P. Geo and Dean Pekeski, P. Geo, both of whom have reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.

Serengeti Signs Major Option Agreement with Newcrest on Croy Bloom/Davie Creek Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 17, 2008) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding Heads of Agreement with a Canadian subsidiary of Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest") whereby Newcrest may earn a joint venture interest in Serengeti's Croy Bloom/Davie Creek property located in the Quesnel Trough of central British Columbia.

Newcrest may earn a 51% interest by funding C$10.0 million in exploration expenditures and making C$500,000.00 in cash payments over four years. Newcrest may then elect to earn an additional 14% interest by funding an additional C$25.0 million in qualifying expenditures towards a pre-feasibility study over a further four years. The first year's work program of C$1,000,000.00 is a commitment with C$100,000.00 cash due on August 1, 2008.

The Croy-Bloom property is located within two km of a logging road spur from the Kemess Mine haul road in the Johansson Lake area of the northern Quesnel Trough. Prior work by Serengeti and others has outlined a large induced polarization (IP) anomaly coincident with a four square km copper-gold-cobalt geochemical anomaly containing values up to 5.5% copper, 9.4 g/t gold and 0.075% cobalt in grab samples. Three drill-ready targets have been outlined on the property including the zone described above. Serengeti's adjacent Davie Creek property is also part of the earn-in arrangement with Newcrest. Prior drilling at Davie Creek has outlined molybdenum values up to 0.073% Mo over 203 meters lying within a three km long soil geochemical and IP chargeability anomaly.

Newcrest plans an initial 2,500 meter drill program on the property commencing in August 2008. As part of the arrangement, a minimum of 20% of the exploration expenditures during the first option period must be made on the Davie Creek portion of the property.

Kwanika

Drilling continues with two rigs on Serengeti's 100% owned Kwanika property, where a major copper-gold discovery was announced in late-2006. More than 50,000 meters have been completed in 115 holes at Kwanika and it is the Company's intention to complete the current drill program and calculate a resource by the end of this year. Drill sections and a 3D model can be viewed at www.corebox.net or by following a link on the Company's website at www.serengetiresources.com.

About Serengeti

Raytec Metals Corp. Granted Exploration Permit on KP441 Potash Claim; Applies for Additional Potash Permit

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - July 17, 2008) - Raytec Metals Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-V: RAY) is pleased to announce the receipt of its first exploration permit from the government of Saskatchewan on the Company's KP441 Potash claim in central Saskatchewan. The company is now in the process of awarding a contract for the commencement of 2D and 3D seismic work on the claim in advance of a proposed phase two drill program.

The KP441 exploration permit grants the Company the right to explore approximately 55,436 acres of the claim block in an area of both highly prospective properties and producing potash mines. A NI43-101 compliant resource was recently calculated on the KP441 claim block based on two historic holes drilled by Canadian Exploration Ltd. in 1969. The resource estimation, which covers approximately 17% of the KP441 application area, included a net recoverable indicated resource of 12.49 million metric tonnes of K2O and a net recoverable inferred resource of 12.24 million metric tonnes of K2O. The NI43-101 report has been filed and is available on www.sedar.com.

Additionally, Raytec is pleased to announce the filing of permit application KP500 with the government of Saskatchewan. The application consists of 8,640 acres of land located directly southwest of Raytec's KP441 potash disposition and lies within an area of influence to the Company's recently announced NI43-101 resource estimate. This area was also previously drilled by Canadian Exploration in 1969 and lies within BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc./Anglo Potash Ltd.'s KP279 and KP305 potash dispositions. Once this permit has been granted, Raytec plans to recalculate its NI43-101 resource estimate to include the new land position.

"With the receipt of our exploration permit on the KP441 claim and the recent release of the NI43-101 report, we are effectively a year ahead in our exploration program," states Brian Thurston, President of Raytec. "The company is now committed to increasing shareholder value by focusing on its potash projects and commencing work that will lead to the expansion of our existing potash resource."

The company is now awaiting the receipt of exploration permits on its KP455, KP466 and KP467 claims which are contiguous with the KP441 potash claim along with the KP452 potash claim in south-central Saskatchewan. These claims cover an additional 202,560 acres. As such, the recent NI43-101 compliant resource represents only 7% of the Company's total potash applications. The company anticipates that these will be granted in the next several weeks and will be making announcements as each is received.

The Company also wishes to announce the resignation of Jerry A. Minni from its Board of Directors. The Company thanks Mr. Minni for his contribution over the years and wishes him success in the future.

About Raytec:

Raytec Metals Corp. is a dynamic Canadian exploration company focused on the development of nearly 300,000 acres of potash claims located in Saskatchewan, Canada -- the largest producing region for potash in the world. The potash claims are located near two world-class potash mines in production since the 1960s and are directly adjacent to claims held by BHP Billiton. The company also holds iron ore projects in Ontario and uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan. Active work programs are planned for all projects in the fall of 2008.

Alexandria Continues to Delineate Orenada 2 with Drill Intersection of 10.42 g/t Gold over 1 Meter

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 17, 2008) - Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX)(FRANKFURT:A9D) reports that it has intersected 2.47 g/t Au over 4.70 m (true width, 3.29 m) at 15 m depth, including 10.42 g/t Au over 1.00 m (true width, 0.60 m) at its Orenada 2 zone in Val d'Or, Quebec.

Hole OAX-08-43 expands a sub-horizontal, near-surface gold bearing zone that has been enlarged to 360 m long by 120 m depth, and includes previously reported drill hole assays of 2.19 g/t Au over 27.08 m, including 11.44 g/t over 4.68 m, in hole OAX-07-16, and 4.07 g/t Au over 5.90 m (all widths are true widths) in hole OAX-07-32 (See Press Releases October 15, 2007 and January 9, 2008). Thirteen holes were drilled in the first half of 2008 at Orenada 2, for a total of 4,250 m, with assays pending for 8 holes.

Gold mineralization at Orenada 2 is hosted in highly deformed and altered sedimentary rocks of the Cadillac Group within the Cadillac Break, a major gold-bearing fault zone in northern Quebec and Ontario, and adjacent to the dioritic Centre Post Intrusion. As such, the geological environment is similar to that found at other gold deposits in the region, notably Osisko Exploration's Malartic deposit, which hosts 8.4 million ounces of gold (Osisko Press Release July 13, 2007).

The Company is continuing its drilling programme, with roughly 8,000 m remaining on a 10,000 m drilling contract. Currently a 3 hole program is underway on the Company's Joannes Township project, located next door to the Joanna project of Aurizon Mines Ltd., which hosts 1.6 million ounces of gold (Indicated and Inferred) along the Cadillac Break (see Aurizon Press Release September 13, 2007).

In other matters, the Company has hired Bay Street Connect of Toronto to provide Investor Relations services for the Company. Bay Street Connect will work with the Company to establish and maintain a targeted marketing and informational campaign and distribute information to shareholders, brokers, fund mangers and high net worth investors. Compensation for these services will be $ 2,500 per month for the next 3 months and subject to stock exchange approval. In addition, the company will also issue 200,000 incentive stock options to Bay Street Connect exercisable at a price of $0.15 for a period of 1 year, subject to approval by the stock exchange, Alexandria's Board of Directors, and approval of the Company's stock option plan by shareholders.

There is no prior relationship between Bay Street Connect and Alexandria Minerals Corporation, nor is there any prior direct or indirect interest in Alexandria Minerals Corporation or its securities or any right to acquire such an interest, on the part of Bay Street Connect.

The services that Bay Street Connect will provide will be complementary to those provided by Coal Harbor Capital of Vancouver, which Alexandria continues to work closely with.

The results presented in this press release are exploratory in nature and have been reviewed by the company's Qualified Persons, Eddy Canova, PGeo, and Dr. Eric Owens, PGeo. The drilling program employs a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Drill core is NQ-sized, and is logged, sampled and split at the Company's Val d'Or office, in intervals of 0.3 meters to a maximum of 1.5 meters. The samples are recorded, bagged and sent to Bourlamaque Assay Lab in Val-d'Or for assay. Samples are analyzed for Au, Ag, Cu and Zn, via a 30 gram pulp by FAA for Au and AA for Ag, Cu and Zn. Re-assays by FA gravimetric finish are performed on samples assaying greater than 1.0 g/t Au and re-assays greater than 5.0 g/t Au are checked a second time by FA gravimetric finish.

Alexandria Minerals Corp. is a Toronto-based mineral exploration and development company, currently focused on the exploration for precious metals on mineral properties located in Northern Ontario and Quebec. The Company's management has extensive global experience with small to large mining companies, from grass-roots exploration to the exploitation of mineral deposits. The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.

WARNING: This News Release may contain forward-looking statements including but not limited to comments regarding the timing and content of up-coming work programs, geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral recovery processes, etc. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
