The Outlook for Potash Prices Has Taken a ‘
The outlook for potash prices has taken a ‘cautiously’ optimistic turn Rio Tinto (‘Rio’, NYS: RIO) has decided to proceed with its plans to build a potash mine. The Australian Rio will work with its Canadian joint venture partner North Atlantic Potash company (an Acron Group subsidiary) to develop the Albany Project using solution mining. The Albany deposit is said to hold inferred resources of 1.4 billion tons at an average grade of 31% KCl with about 30% recoverability. Rio Tinto’s entry into the North American potash industry has added more pressure on what seems to be an already oversupplied sector. In 2013, BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) decided to build what will be the world’s largest potash mine; that project alone threatens to break the model preferred by CANPOTEX (the pricing consortium that includes PotashCorp, Agrium and Mosaic), which relies on regulating supply to sustain price rather than compete on the basis of lower prices. The CANPOTEX companies may become victims of their own pricing mechanism, having shown the world just what kind of high margins are possible in the potash market. It should be no surprise that the world’s mining giants have wanted to claim their own stake in the potash industry. Nevertheless, the added pressure and the dissolution of BPC, the Russian/Belarusian equivalent of CANPOTEX, have not done much harm to PotashCorp’s stock price. Indeed, shares of PotashCorp (NYSE: POT) have rebounded to the high USD$ 30’s and low 40’s in June, which is exactly what they were on the day before Belaruskali and Uralkali ended the BPC pricing mechanism on July 30, 2013. -
