Floated at 120p on June 08 raising 33.6m to fund the development of a fertiliser factory, has used $5.9m for adquisitions September 08 and said it still had $26.9m left at 30 June 09.

The company has a phosphorous rock deposit in Kazakhstan totalling 800 million tonnes capable of producing fertilisers for the next 56 years.
The deposit lies in a flat lying position on the Kazakh steppes close to surface so will be cheap to mine and the world still needs fertilisers.
Positive points
1. Shallow - 1 to 3m depth. Ultra low cost to extract.
2. Close to Tengiz oil field which has high sulphur content, hence cheap source of sulphuric acid.
3. Located at junction of two main railway lines giving direct access to Russia/China.

Sunkar is suppose to be one of the lowest cost producers in the World at sub $125 per DAP (die-ammonium phosphate) tonne. The average is circa $200 with some producers as high as $300.
The case for phosphate deposits is population growth means more agriculture means more fertiliser needed in the future.
RESUME SKR produce phosphate for DAP fertilizer and have licenses and acrage in Kurdistan to last 50-70yrs producing in excess of 100M tonnes of raw material each year. 160m shares in issue, directors own a significant chunk. Also they have a cheap source of sulphur required to produce the DAP

Phosphorus - its role and nature
Phosphorus (chemical symbol P) is an element necessary for life. Because phosphorus is highly reactive, it does not naturally occur
as a free element, but is instead bound up in phosphates. Phosphates typically occur in inorganic rocks.
As farmers and gardeners know, phosphorus is one of the three major nutrients required for plant growth: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
Fertilizers are labelled for the amount of N-P-K they contain.
Most phosphorus is obtained from mining phosphate rock. Crude phosphate is now used in organic farming, whereas chemically treated forms such
as superphosphate, triple superphosphate, or ammonium phosphates are used in non-organic farming.
The current major use of phosphate is in fertilizers. Growing crops remove it and other nutrients from the soil... Most of the world's farms do not have or
do not receive adequate amounts of phosphate. Feeding the world's increasing population will accelerate the rate of depletion of phosphate reserves.
and...
resources are limited, and phosphate is being dissipated. Future generations ultimately will face problems in obtaining enough to exist.
It is sobering to note that phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient in natural ecosystems. That is, the supply of available phosphorus limits the
size of the population possible in those ecosystems.

Sunkar Resources has announced an update on its phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer technology tests.

Full international specification DAP and MAP can be produced from Chilisai rock - two independent acid treatment technologies have been evaluated at the pilot scale and the test results are positive and consistent with earlier laboratory and bench-scale tests

Serik Utegen, Chief Executive Officer commented:"We are very pleased that the pilot plant re-confirmation tests and acid post treatment tests have produced the results we have been expecting.

"The confirmation that our phosphoric acid technology is valid for phosphate rock collected from various parts of our very large deposit gives the Board confidence that the chemical complex we are proposing to build will process the Chilisai mine output consistently through many decades."

Since the suspension of trading on AIM on 9 August 2011, the directors of the Company have been working on a plan aimed at recapitalising the Company.

It is anticipated that the Company's shares will remain suspended pending further clarification of its financial position.

what on earth has happened here - last time i looked at skr was when i sold at about 30p - this and sxx was news at the time - i never thought this would happen to skr - can someone condense why this has gone tits up? only sold on a fluke to invest elsewhere meaning to come back but never did - i can hardly believe this!

i can see the obvious need of funding but what caused it? over a period of time - i always considered skr to be the better bet out of skr and sxx?!

Dare I suggest the possibility of some unscrupulous , yet to be disclosed, activities.

stranger things have happened!!
