AmerAlia secures 100% ownership of Natural Soda Holdings from private equity investor Sentient

Thursday, September 02, 2010

Natural resource company AmerAlia (AALA.OB) has announced that it has acquired the remaining 82% stake in baking soda producer Natural Soda Holdings (NSHI) that it did not already own, from private equity group Sentient, also AmerAlia`s largest shareholder.

In exchange for the stake, AmerAlia has issued approximately 286.1 million shares of its common stock to the vendor.

Natural Soda Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiary Natural Soda Inc. (NSI), produces and sells natural sodium bicarbonate, commonly called baking soda, for use in a wide variety of products and activities.

It operates from Rifle, Colorado where it owns 9,543 acres of Federal government sodium leases, and is a supplier to the animal feed, human food, pharmaceutical, personal products, and industrial markets. NSI also has water assets in the Colorado River System, which are estimated at a maximum entitlement of 108,812 acre feet (over 35 billion gallons) of water annually under certain conditions for agricultural, industrial and municipal purposes.

NSI produces and sells more than 100,000 tons of baking soda each year, making AmerAlia one of the larger producers of sodium bicarbonate in North America.

“The acquisition is a milestone for the company. It fulfills our longstanding ambition to own, largely debt free, all of the water assets and the profitable sodium bicarbonate operations located in the Piceance Creek Basin in North West Colorado, held by NSHI and NSI,” said AmerAlia’s Chairman Bill Gunn.

The deal is expected to position AmerAlia with strong revenue opportunities for the new financial year, it said.
“We are considering several possible uses for our extensive water rights in addition to further developing our profitable and growing sodium bicarbonate business,” Gunn added.

AmerAlia has also said that it has identified large deposits of oil shale contained within NSI`s sodium leases, and it is now investigating certain proprietary technologies to recover oil from the shale, it said. It has even applied for a research development and demonstration lease covering these oil shale deposits.

Shell Frontier Oil & Gas Co. already has three research, development, and demonstration leases adjacent to NSI’s sodium leases, on which it is trying to prove up the commercial feasibility of its oil shale extraction technology.

NSI recovers sodium bicarbonate using an environmentally friendly process known as solution mining, which involves pumping hot water approximately 1900 feet underground to dissolve the underlying nahcolite beds and return the saturated liquor to the surface. By reducing the temperature of the liquor, sodium bicarbonate is crystallized. Excess water is then removed by high speed centrifuging (spin drying).

The resultant damp crystal mass is further dried, screened and packed in accordance with industry designated specifications, while maintaining stringent quality accreditation standards.

In addition to its many uses in various products, research has been done for more than a decade about sodium bicarbonate`s use as a potential treatment for cancer; it has also been proven that it dramatically slows the progress of chronic kidney disease.

NSHI`s profits for the six months ending December 31 2009 was $967,581 compared with a loss of $6.5 million in the comparable period a year earlier.
