# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

yea.. .there were quite a few indians at the mining conference that was
staying at my hotel.
they weren't so fun to talk to (sticks in the mud).

the Indians have also been dealing heavily with the Kaz in getting their
uranium. when i was there last there was a giant Kaz delegation there
and my Indian defense contacts said all their talks centered on uranium
deals. not sure how much trouble the indians have had in seeing htese
deals through but i can find out

Kaz owns their own uranium with companies that just so happen to have

I even talked to Chinese companies about this while in Kaz and they
told me how hard it was to get into uranium there.

we are interested.
let me know

i thought the russians pretty much owned the uranium industry in
Kaz
is my info dated?

In response to my question: Do you mean to say that China is now
interested in Mongolia because they are possibly being blocked
by Russian interests in Kazakhstan?
No, the Chinese have pretty much wrapped up the uranium in
Kazakhstan, and now they are trying to secure uranium in
Mongolia as well. Interestingly, CNNC or its subsidiaries were
involved in both countries.
In China, the importation of uranium is controlled by the
central government. They have theoretically always done this,
but in the middle of last year they reiterated central control
of uranium imports. Effectively, most imports are either
undertaken by CNNC, China Guangdong, or Sino Steel (yes, that
last one is correct). There may be one other authorised
importer. All of this means that any uranium investment is more
centrally planned and controlled than any other outward
investment.
As for the Russians, I suspect they or the Americans may have
prodded the Mongolians to rebuff the Chinese after they took
their stake in Western Prospector. Alternatively, the
Mongolians may have chosen to do it on their own volition.
Either way, the Russians are feeling under pressure.

CNNC (China National Nuclear Corporation) recently acquired a
majority stake in Western Prospector, whose sole project is
the Gurvanbulag Central deposit in Mongolia. This deposit is
actually covered by tenements in favour of three companies -
Western Prospector, Khan, and Laramide. My suspicion is that
the CNNC move on Western Prospector was the prelude to raids
both of the other companies, with a view to possible merger.
Laramide is particularly vulnerable, as the weak equity
market has constrained their ability to raise capital.
Laramide has projects in Australia, which are currently on
care & maintenance for this reason.
As you know, relations between China and Mongolia are strained
from time to time. The question is whether this has been
stoked by Russia, who would not have been happy with China
taking 70% of Kazatomprom, and other Kazakh uranium processing
assets earlier this year. Russia, in turn, is quietly trying
to get a foothold in Australian uranium exploration, which is
the first time this has happened.
In short, China's massive nuclear power expansion plan
requires significant amounts of uranium. This has led them to
try to secure uranium in Central Asia and Mongolia, which it
might consider in its sphere of influence. The problem is the
Russians have pretensions/expectations there also.
