LONDON, January 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- By the beginning of 2013, the rhenium market had experienced three years of relative calm after considerable volatility from the end of 2006 to 2009 when the spot price peaked at almost US$12,000/kg, with steeply rising demand for use in aerospace superalloys. Since the end of 2009 the spot price has remained below US$5,000/kg and was being quoted between US$3,500 and US$3,700/kg in January 2013. Despite some concerns in the...
Highlights -- Completion of Phase 2 metallurgical test work to optimize the use of desliming and carbonate rejection flotation, as well as chemical reagent dosages to increase the efficiency of rougher/cleaner Ta/Nb flotation and to finalize the preliminary process flow sheet developed in Phase 1 which formed the basis of the PEA. -- Mineral Resource update underway at AMEC to include results of...
FARMINGTON, Conn., Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Rising demand for tungsten coupled with dwindling supply is keeping prices high according to new market research. As a result, tungsten represents a unique opportunity for producers, fabricators and investors.
