New investments possible

Hong Kong investors
interested, Stan says

By CasNews Staff

Five Hong Kong investors are in-
terested in the Central Kootenay area
and more may express interest in the
future following a trade and invest-
ment exposition in the Asian city
earlier this month, said a represen-
tative of the Community Futures
Committee of Central Kootenay.

Harry Stan, who is also an
executive director of the Castlegar
and District Development Board, said
he and representatives from Nelson
and Kimberley joined economic

officers from

Island and the Lower Mainland,
Thompson-Okanagan, and the North
‘Coast regions for the exposition from
May 17-20.

The Central Kootenay represen-
tatives spoke directly to several hun-
dred of the i 5,000

results, including allowing interaction
between representatives of each B.C.
region and Asia-Pa investors,
providing a better understanding of
the Hong Kong lifestyle, and
establishing an investment. contact
base in Hong Kong.

As well, the forum provided the in-
vestors with business information
such as the fact that land costs and the
costs of operating businesses are
lower in areas outside of the Lower
Mainland, he said.

Those who attended the exposition,
which was targeted at investors willing
to spend about $250,000, generally
knew what types of investment they
were interested in before talking to
the development officers and many
are involved in the precess of
emigrating to Canada, Stan said.

Hong Kong investors who attended
the event, organized by the Ministry
of Regional and Economic, Develop-
ment and the Ministry of Inter-
national Business and Immigration,
Stan said.

He said the forum, the first such
event to allow

from Hong Kong is a
lengthy process that can take up to
three years, he noted.

But cultivating Hong Kong invest-
ment is also a slow process and one

that must be considered for its long-—

term benefits, Stan said
People in Hong Kong are cautious

experts in B.C.

number of investors who might even-
tually choose to put money into B.C.
business ventures is ‘‘an unknown
quantity’’ because of the cautious ap-
proach taken to business in the Asian
city, he explained.

Stan said the Central Kootenay
representatives provided the investors
with information on a variety of in-
vestment opportunities in the region,
including a health-related product
being manufactured in the area, a
truck service centre, and a fresh-water

Chile pulp mills slated

VANCOUVER (CP) — H.A.
Simons, the largest engineering firm
in Vancouver and the company which
designed the proposed Celgar pulp
mill expansion project in Castlegar, is
involved in two new pulp mill projects
in southern Chile that will cost a
combined $1 billion to build.

The mills are two of three new pulp
complexes planned for the South
American country that is in the midst
of a boom in forst industry develop-
ment.

Last week, Vancouver-based Cetec
Engineering Ltd. detailed its plans to
build a sawmilling and chipping
facility in the southernmost reaches
of Chile.

But unlike the Cetec venture, which

will concentrate on cutting hardwood
forests of Linga trees, the two pulp
ventures Simons is involved in are in
Chite’s radiata pine forests.

Chile’s softwoods are extremely at-
tractive to local and outside investors
because of their very short rotation
periods.

Unlike British Columbia, where
softwood plantations take 80 years or
more to reach an age where they can
be cut again, Chile’s radiata pine
stands can be cut every 25 years.

“The driving investment interest
there is the quality and cost of the
resource, both in softwoods and har-
dwoods,’’ John Montgomery,
Simons’ vice-president of sales, said.

“The big ticket item is the trees

grow so fast — pulp logs in the teens
and saw logs in the 20- to 25-year
range.""

Chile-has_five existing sawmills and
two smaller paper mills, but Mon-
tgomery said there is a strong
likelihood that manufacturing base
will expand in the coming years.

The two pulp projects Simons is
designing are expected to each
produce 1,000 tonnes of kraft pulp a
day, with the anticipated markets
being Japan, Europe and the United
States.

One pulp mill will be owned and
operated by the Chilean company,
Cellulose Arauco. New Zealand in-
terests holds a significant share in the
company.

fish farm.

The economic development officers
also took along information about
larger investments, such as resorts and
apartment buildings, ‘‘just in case’’
any of the investors were interested in
larger projects, Stan added.

The government will decide
whether similar expositions will be
held in the future after considering
the comments and criticisms of the
first forum submitted by the
economic development officers who
attended, he said.
