TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 30, 2009) - MagIndustries Corp. ("MagIndustries" or the "Company")(TSX:MAA) reports that Sinohydro Corporation Limited ("Sinohydro"), the counterparty to the Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") signed and disclosed on June 12, 2009, is continuing with its internal decision process with respect to the investment proposal under the MOU. MagIndustries understands that the investment has been recommended at several levels of Sinohydro and that a final decision rests with Sinohydro's Board of Directors. While respecting the Sinohydro process and remaining optimistic as to its outcome, MagIndustries has elected not to extend the exclusivity provided to Sinohydro by the MOU.
Mr. William Burton, CEO of MagIndustries, noted, " We have had a constructive dialogue with Sinohydro and have seen progress in a decision process, which by all indications still has the potential for a positive conclusion. In the meantime, other parties aware of the merits of our Kouilou Potash Project ("the Project") have approached us with expressions of interest."
With the expiry of the Sinohydro exclusivity period, MagIndustries has started discussions with several other parties, interested in investing in the Company or directly in its MagMinerals potash subsidiary and/or the construction of the Company's Project as EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) Contractor and arrangement of the debt associated with the Project.
The Company will evaluate any resulting investment proposals with a view to building the Project as soon as possible with minimum dilution to MagIndustries shareholders. Interest in the project is happening in the context of a potash market that is showing signs of renewed demand growth and a view that in time potash buyers may once again be confronted by supply constraints with MagIndustries as the only realistic near term new entrant to the industry.
