Santiago — Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile SA (SQM) Board Chairman Julio Ponce may offer to resign his post, but will not give up his 32 percent stake in the embattled company, according to a report in Chile’s La Tercera newspaper last week. This was seen as a way in which the three Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. board members who resigned last month (GM March 23, p. 1) could return to the board when new members are selected April 24 (GM March 30, p. 12).
