Allana - Salman ger $1.20 som målkurs

Som mycket riktigt påpekats i kommentarerna så har Salman Partners startat bevakning av Allana med en 12-månaders målkurs på $1.20.

Allana Potash has "first mover advantage" in Ethiopia, says Salman Partners

"Allana Potash (TSE:AAA) received a "buy" recommendation and 12-month target price of $1.20 Tuesday from equity research firm Salman Partners, saying the potash explorer has a "first mover advantage" in Ethiopia.

Allana is advancing the Dallol potash project toward a full feasibility study for the construction of a one to two million tonne per year solution mine using solar evaporation, with first production targeted for the end of 2014.

The Dallol potash deposit, Allana’s principal project, is located in the Danakhil Depression, a desert area in northeast Ethiopia, south of the border of Eritrea. The deposit lies at the northern end of the Ethiopian Afar State, approximately 100 kilometres from the Eritrean Red Sea coast and 600 kilometres by road from the deep-water port of Djibouti.

Salman analyst Andrea Rubakovic said the hot Danakil climate is "ideal" for these mining and processing methods, as it "significantly reduces the high capital and operating costs that accompany most potash mining operations"
