Western PotashOh, on the point of all these buyers/investor, sure there are lots of guys looking for a steal and a faulty assumption that people are lining-up to pay full price. These are risky investments and K+S blew their budget.
Positives are that they came-up with reduced size even if their grade is lower than KRN and that solution mining isn't unproven. Different process and costs are cheaper.
Not that great for shareholders who paid $1.40 but at least they are moving forward and generating some income in a few years and debt free. Unfortunately, it isn't uncommon and always a concern.
