Search for uranium leads group to site in Canada

JoongangIlbo & Joins.com:10/12/2007

 

A Korean consortium led by the state-run electric power monopoly signed an agreement yesterday to jointly explore and develop a uranium deposit in Canada.

 

The deal between Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Resources Corporation, SK Energy Company, Hanwha and Canada’s CanAlaska Uranium calls for 16 billion won ($17.4 million) to be invested in the next four years to determine the size of the Cree-East deposit.

 

Once the exploration phase is over, the four Korean companies will take over a 50-percent stake in Cree-East.

 

The deposit covers 559.35 square kilometers, roughly the size of Seoul, and is located in the southeastern part of the Athabasca Basin.

 

Korea imports about 4,000 tons of uranium each year to power its 19 nuclear reactors, but uranium prices have been going up steadily.

 

A pound of uranium cost $136 on the international market this month, up sharply from an average of $75 in 2002.

 

There have been concerns that a sharp rise in demand by the newly emerging markets of China and India could cause further price hikes down the road.

 

In addition, some experts said existing uranium deposits will dry up around 2016, making it imperative to develop new mines.

Holding company becomes reality for SK

JoongangIlbo & Joins.com:07/03/2007

 

SK Group, the nation’s No.3 conglomerate, split into an operating company and a holding company yesterday as part its efforts to reorganize.

 

The newly established oil-related operating firm is named SK Energy Co., while a non-operating holding company that will remain as a legal entity is SK Holdings Co.

 

The group yesterday held a board meeting to appoint current chairman Chey Tae-won and president Park Young-ho as chief executives of SK Holdings.

 

Chey and chief executive of SK Corp., the previous energy unit, Shin Heon-cheol, became chief executives of SK Energy.

 

“I think adoption of a holding company structure will bring us a new challenge,” Chey told employees.

 

“The holding company will continue investing in sectors with potential growth and push for building a global business portfolio.”During the day, Moody’s Investors Service assigned a Baa2 long-term rating and stable outlook to SK Energy and withdrew its Baa3 rating of SK Corp.

 

The nation’s No.1 refiner was spun off into SK Energy when the holding system began.

 

“Moody’s believes the new structure provides greater transparency and substantially reduces the complexity that existed under the former structure,” Moody’s Senior Vice President Terry Fanous said in a statement.

SEOUL, July 2, 2007 – SK Holdings and SK Energy today held their first Board of Directors meetings following the structural reorganization of SK Corporation, which has been split into a holding company and an energy operating company as of July 1.

 

The new Boards of SK Holdings and SK Energy approved the appointment of the chief executive officers. Mr. Chey Tae Won was approved as Chairman and CEO of SK Holdings; and Mr. Park Young-Ho was appointed President and CEO of this entity. Mr. Chey was also approved as Chairman and CEO of SK Energy; and Mr. Shin Heon-Cheol was appointed as President and CEO of this operating unit.

 

“We have two very strong reasons for the reorganization,” explained Chey at a ceremony celebrating the launch. “First, SK is committed to continued improvement in corporate governance and transparency. Second, SK is determined to deliver increasing value to shareholders.”

 

Chey added:“We believe the reorganization is a positive change and milestone in SK’s half-century history. We also believe the restructuring will offer a host of significant opportunities  in the half-century to come.”

 

The two new entities will be listed separately on the Korea Stock Exchange. With the split-off effective  July 1, SK Holdings and SK Energy will begin trading separately on July 25. Trading has been suspended for SK Corp.’s existing shares since the closing of the Korea Stock Exchange on June 27.

 

SEOUL, April 11, 2007 – SK Corporation announced today that it will seek a holding company structure.   The company’s Board of Directors has approved the proposal to split SK Corp. into a holding company, expected to be named SK Holdings Co., Ltd, and an operating company, tentatively named SK Energy-chemical Co., Ltd. Each company will be listed separately on the Korea Stock Exchange. 

 

The new structure will reinforce the company’s already advanced corporate governance and enable subsidiaries to fully concentrate on core businesses to promote shareholder value.  Cross shareholdings and joint investments by operating units in affiliated companies will be eliminated.  

 

“Once we are reorganized, the holding company will become an investment company and under independent management operating subsidiaries will concentrate solely on their core business fields,” said Shin Heon-Cheol, SK Corp.’s President and CEO.
