Linkwell Corporation Provides Business Update on Iron Ore Distribution Project in Mobile, Alabama
The Company Expects to Begin Shipments in the Second Quarter of 2013
SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Market Wire -01/29/13) - Linkwell Corporation "Linkwell" (OTCQB: LWLL) announced today its wholly owned subsidiary, Metamining Nevada, Inc., ("Metamining") expects to begin delivery of iron ore from Mobile Alabama to end customers in China in the second quarter of 2013.
Metamining has exclusive rights to the management, operations, and resale of approximately five million tons of iron ore in Mobile, Alabama. This iron ore is estimated to have 62% in iron content with 25% moisture. Metamining is in the process of completing the de-watering of a portion of the ore to bring the total moisture content under 10% in order to begin delivery.
Metamining expects to complete its first shipment of approximately 55,000 tons in the second quarter of 2013 with the operations progressively ramping the processing and delivery of iron ore to 165,000 tons on three 55,000 ton vessels per month before the end of 2013. Management believes it can complete delivery of the five million tons of iron ore to its end customers in China within a four year timeframe. Management estimates that with the current price for iron ore the operations could generate approximately $50 million in gross profit over the course of the four year delivery period.
Commenting on the Alabama project, Mr. Xuelian Bian, CEO of Linkwell Corporation, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the progress we have made to position our company to begin delivery of this iron ore in Mobile, Alabama in the first half of 2013. Recently spot price for iron ore spot have been rising steadily to $150 per ton up from $120 per ton only a month ago, due to expected growth in China and other parts of the world in 2013. China alone imported approximately 700 million tons of iron ore in 2012 and that number is expected to increase in the coming years. We believe the fundamentals for iron ore will remain strong in the coming years and we intend to capitalize on it through this operation in Alabama as well as Metamining’s exploratory mining operation in Nevada. We continue to believe that the diversification of our business into the United States through our Metamining subsidiary will enable us to deliver sustainable future growth and profits for our shareholders in the years to come”.
