GCM RESOURCES
Many investors will be familiar with
GCM Resources (LON:GCM), the
former Asia Energy, which has been
developing the Phulbari coal and
power project in Bangladesh for
some 20 years after buying it from
BHP Billiton in 1998. Listing on AIM
in April 2004, progress has been
painfully slow, mainly due to political
problems. But recent developments,
including an agreement with Chinese state owned engineer Power
China, could mean that the significant
value in the project could about to be
unlocked.
PowerChina will undertake
feasibility and viability studies and facilitate the inclusion of the project as
a One Belt, One Road Initiative of the
People's Republic of China. A Joint
Development Agreement is being targeted by 31st December 2018, with the
submission of a formal proposal to the
Government of Bangladesh expected
by the end of February next year.
