Confidence Demonstrated by Recent World-Class Projects in BoliviaGolden Eagle is encouraged by the following recent events that are demonstrating confidence in Bolivia by the international investment community:
-- Sumitomo's $224 Million Acquisition of an Interest in San
Cristobal Mine Confirmed as Safe: Bolivia's President, Evo
Morales, stated Tuesday, March 6, 2007 from Japan that
Bolivia's recent repossession of the Vinto Tin Smelter
formerly owned by COMIBOL, Bolivia's national mining company,
did not signal that his government would consider the
expropriation of any private mining assets or properties
within Bolivia. Bolivia's President was meeting with Japanese
President Shinzo Abe to discuss the September 2006 purchase by
Sumitomo Corporation of a 35% interest in the San Cristobal
silver and zinc project located in western Bolivia owned by
Apex Silver Mines Limited. Sumitomo paid $224 million for its
interest in the mine. Apex has spent $420 million in
developing the San Cristobal mine estimated to be one of the
largest silver and zinc projects in the world.
-- Jindal Steel's Commitment to Invest $2.3 Billion: Jindal Steel
and Power Ltd., an Indian multi-national energy, mining and
industrial company, finalized its contract with the Bolivian
government this last week for the investment of $2.3 billion
for the development of the El Mutun iron ore project in
eastern Bolivia. El Mutun is one of the largest iron ore
deposits in the world.
-- Brashem's Commitment to Invest $1.4 Billion: Within the past
two weeks Brashem, a Brazilian petrochemical giant, signed an
agreement to build a $1.4 billion petrochemical plant in
eastern Bolivia to take advantage of Bolivia's abundant
natural gas.
-- Simple Resolution for Brazil on "Nationalization" of Natural
Gas Fields: In a simple resolution of Bolivia's
"nationalization" of its gas fields in May of 2006, Brazil
agreed to pay as much as 11 percent more for natural gas. The
deal the two countries' presidents signed last week will
resolve a year of strife in what ended up simply being a push
by Bolivia to renegotiate its gas-producing contracts with
multi-national producers. Other multi-national gas producers
have already signed contract increases. Brazil paid Bolivia
$1.3 billion in 2006 for natural gas and should pay
approximately $144 million more per annum for the fuel
bringing its prices more in line with international markets.
