LAS VEGAS, July 16 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHHL), a development stage company with the goal of becoming a leading diversified global asset holding company and engaged in multiple China-focused business activities including pharmaceutical, real estate, utilities, energy and finance, today announced that the Company has executed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Aroma International Petroleum (HK) Co, Ltd. for a 50%/50% joint venture investment partnership with its wholly-owned subsidiary Aroma International Petroleum (China) to complete development of a 1.2 million cubic meter (approximately 7.5 million barrel) oil storage facility (Tank Farm Area) and its auxiliary facilities. In addition, both parties agreed that Aroma International Petroleum (HK) Co. Ltd. will purchase approximately 30% of China Holdings, Inc. by acquiring 70 million shares of common stock from the Company's treasury shares within one month at a price to be negotiated later.
The MOU also provided China Holdings right of first refusal during the next 9 months for further development and investment in the joint venture investment partnership. The Companies agreed to execute a definitive agreement for their joint venture within one month upon mutually agreeable terms.
Under the terms of the MOU, China Holdings and Aroma International Petroleum agree to jointly invest, develop and construct the 1.2 million cubic meters oil storage facility (Tank Farm Area) and its auxiliary facilities, consisting of 2.2 square kilometers located in Yangkou Port, China. The project will require a total investment of approximately $235 million and completion is expected in approximately 2 years. The complex will be comprised of a 1.2 million cubic meter oil tank complex including the oil tank block, logistic park, pipeline wharf and a complete pipeline system.
There is abundant and stable demand for petroleum products in China and the expected capacity of the oil storage facility for all kinds of petroleum products is 2.5 million tons (approximately 2.4 million barrels) with an annual minimum capacity of 20 million tons (approximately 19 million barrels) to 37.5 million tons (approximately 35.7 million barrels).
About the Oil Storage Facility Location
Located in the Yangkou Port overlooking Korea and Japan from the Yellow Sea, the oil storage facility possesses a strategic proximity to Shanghai and the North part of Jiangsu Province. It is also well positioned to link midstream and upstream to the Yangtze River, which is the key route for water transportation in Central and East China. Yangkou is a unique and ideal location to build a modernized deepwater seaport with the capacity of over 200,000 tons to the north part of Yangtsi River Delta. Moreover, on one side of the water route there is a natural sandbank island (Sun Island) with an area of 6 km2, which is a significant location to be explored for dock storage. According to the scientific research, the watercourse of the Yangkou Port is well protected by natural underwater sandbanks on both sides so that destructive waves from the outer sea are reduced and there is no need for jetty construction.
