West Fraser TimberWest Fraser Timber recently closed their Eurocan mill in Kitimat, British Columbia.

An unnamed Chinese company is already interested in the mill. West Fraser has agreed to open the mill's books and figures for the Chinese company to study.

The company is the same Chinese company that has been interested in the former Worthington Mackenzie mill.

If the Eurocan mill is sold, the deal may not include West Fraser's forests licences. Forests Minister Pat Bell said there's 4.1 million cubic metres a year of fibre in the area that can be cut and that while most of it is held by companies, there's not a lot of logging going on.

While you're studying the bankrupt books of Eurocan pulp mill, have a look at the Chetwynd pulp mill that made serious $$ money before curtailing production. This is a better buy along with Skookumchuk pulp mill. You get both mechanical and chemical pulp. Two for one deal??
