Stans Energy (HRE: TSX-V) -- Good news this week, from Stans. They won all --
yes, ALL -- of their litigation in the courts of Kyrgyzstan.
Remember last summer, when a group of Chinese-backed claim jumpers tried to
swipe the Kyrgyz mining licenses from Stans? And Stans went to court? And then
the previous Kyrgyz government fell? And soon, a new government showed up?
Remember?
Well, Stans just announced a long string of favorable decisions. It's called, "being
friendly to foreign investment." That, and hey, sometimes justice triumphs.
The Moscow Conference -- Meanwhile, Stans was front and center at a major
rare earth (RE) conference inMoscow, a couple weeks ago. The get-together was
a scientific jaw-dropper, from what I've heard.
The Moscow confab was sponsored by the Russian Leading Institute for Chemical
Technology (VNIIHT), sort of a Russian version of the U.S. National Lab at Oak
Ridge. The Russians put their best foot forward, and I assure you that when the
Russians want to do something like that, it's quite a fine foot.
Stans put on a great presentation, which was well received by Russianmedia and
the overall political-technical bureaucracy. Over and above Stans, the VNIIHT
conference displayed one after another of astonishing papers, detailing progress in
RE metallurgy that Russian institutes have made, and are making. The agenda
covered all manner of RE chemistry and engineering, plus basic Russian research
into futuristic technical applications.
Looking back, it's been 21 years since the fall of the Soviet Union -- and yes, recall
that even a huge, nuclear-armed nation can fall apart almost overnight.
If you're sophisticated enough to be reading ESI, then you surely know that post-
Soviet Russia has had some tough years.With that inmind, and inmy view, the
Moscow VNIIHT conference was sort of a "coming out" party for the "new" Russia's
goals, programs and accomplishments in the fields of exotic RE chemistry and
chemical physics.
All in all, the VNIIHT conference showed what a nation can accomplish when it
throws state-levels of people, money and assets at tough scientific problems, and
sticks with it over time. Hold that thought.
Other RE News -- Closer to home, we've recently seen a severe sell-down in RE
players across the North American stock markets. For example, former high-flyer
Molycorp now trades down in the market-cellar, with shares moving for under $6!
Quite a tumble! I'm glad we sold our ESI position at $55, a while back.
Still, don't let Molycorp's market demise scare you away from a future RE star like
Stans. Molycorp has long been known as a "light" RE producer -- meaning its future
niche is the low-cost, low-margin, commodity-level lanthanide side of the Periodic
Table.
All the while, Stans is focused on the "heavy" RE side of things -- the higher atomic
numbered elements, with cost curves in the thousands of dollars per kilo. That is,
Stans is the play for high-price, high-margin, hard-to-produce material, for which the
buyers of the world will beat a path to your door.
