20-10-09	Strategic Natural - End of talks and termination of Offer Period	RNS
RNS Number : 0665B Strategic Natural Resources PLC 20 October 2009 20 October 2009 Strategic Natural Resources plc ("SNR" or the "Company") End of talks and termination of Offer Period The Board of SNR announces that it has been unable to agree terms for Atlantic Coal plc ("Atlantic") to proceed with a recommended offer for SNR and accordingly talks between the two companies in relation to an offer have now ended. Therefore, SNR is no longer in an Offer Period, as defined under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. On 28 October 2008, SNR announced that its 74% owned subsidiary, Elitheni Coal (Pty) Ltd had agreed a 25 year coal supply agreement with IPSA Group plc ("IPSA") for the supply of 1 Million tonnes of Elitheni coal per annum for a proposed 250 MW power plant to be established and operated by IPSA at Elitheni. On 9 October 2009, IPSA announced that it is proceeding with the environmental impact assessment for the mine mouth power plant and has taken an option on a site for the power plant located adjacent to SNR's Elitheni Mine. IPSA intends to develop the plant based on a perceived shortage of electricity generation capacity in the South African market. In the light of this development and its own initiatives in the steam boiler and coal export markets, the Board of SNR feels it cannot recommend any offer which does not recognise the strategic nature of Elitheni's 97 million tonnes of in situ coal.

	I apologise for my ignorance but not much experience with this company. Would be grateful if some kind soul could explain the inter relationship between IPSA,IPC, ECCH, SNR and Atlantic Coal. I thought that IPSA & IPC are both companies controlled by Peter Earl with IPC assisting IPSA financially at the moment (recent 5 million share purchase of IPSA for 25p per share) with the intention that both parties would benefit in the future. If IPSA has taken back control of ECCH as per announcement 09 Oct 2009 and presumably the subsequent coal reserves at Elitheni then how does this news today significantly impact future prospects for IPSA shareholders. Who are SNR and Atlantic Coal and will the news today affect the 25 year supply contract with IPSA Thanks More \| View thread (1) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	As long as Std bank doesn't call in the debt, which they haven't done yet, then IPSA will survive to become a profitable company. Reasoning: IPSA have a basic commodity that South Africans need/demand. (Electricity has been an election promise since 1994) As the global recovery continues, mines will start to fire up again and that means power shortages. SA is the largest platinum producer and one of the largest gold producers in the world to name a few. I can't see multinational miners being dictated to once again by Eskom. Std Bank knows this and it's not on their interest for the IPSA to go to the wall. Say they liquidate then Std bank have to sell the turbines to recoup the loss. Std is a power house bank with a solid balance sheet so I'm sure they can make allowances for a larger pound of flesh down the line...lesser evil To 100% clued up on this ECCH share development but this could be used as collateral to help the bank manager sleep better...along with adding some potential vertical integration to the business and help in secure reliable coal contracts, something which Eskom has failed Newcastle plant is ready for business so that's cash receipts as they get customers IPSA will turn out to be a solid business partner for Std Bank in the future due to power demand and Eskom being another badly run state circus. I am long this share from around 60p, hence my optimistic tone but with IPSA making it through that loan deadline with Std Bank I’m resting a little easier.

	I agree with your view of the world moonie2. Keep IPSA solvent, and buy some more time to complete negotiation's on the IPC project in the middle east, from which the sale of the turbines will happen and then the long term future is more secure and they can then focus on selling power to the independents, and hopefully making us shareholders a bit more wealthy!
