Comment on Recycling & the Future of Mining by Mark Stevenson

Very interesting that the metal worth examining as an example of recycling and future dynamics was not mentioned; lead. Over 65% of the current worlds lead supply is from secondary sources and a great model to look at how markets, both primary and secondary function including raw material prices, smelting, trading, environmental etc. The often quoted line “technological improvements” is really in scrap handling/sorting not the metallurgy, which is the same for both primary and secondary lead smelting.

USD 518m investment to have driverless trains? Why not simply train their drivers better?

Comment on Breaking down BHP Billiton’s iron ore production costs by businessmining

Based upon size and cost I think the lowest cost player is the combination of Rio Tinto’s iron ore operation in Western Australia. Rio Tinto operates as slightly lower cost than BHP Billiton.

Do you know who is the player with the best cost position on the curve (to the left of BHP)? Would that be Rio Tinto or Vale? Thank you

Hello Admin (Guest post),

Neil here. I visited your blog. Really impressive one. I wish to write an article for your blog as a guest author, provided you allow me. The article will be unique, exclusive for your blog, of around 500+ words and will contain only one link to one of my sites. (I have very good financial sites only).

To make this win-win for both of us, I’ll place your site/blog’s link in one of my other financial sites or accept your written guest post, whichever you like. Let me inform you that I own close to 15 very good financial sites and I write articles and market for them. If you have more than one site, please allow me to write articles for you.

If you need specimens of articles already published articles, I will be glad to share them with you. Else, search with my name in Google under quotes, you can land up at a few of my articles.

Let me know if that sounds good to you. It will benefit both of us.

Regards,

Neil

Comment on Peru cancels Southern Copper’s Tia Maria Project by Casas en Peru

Casas en Peru — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:02:41 +0000

Mining projects are a big business and if carefully implemented, it should not damage the water supply. I would think the local residents should welcome the mining companies as long as they agree to offer jobs to the locals, build roads and make sure all the proper security measures are in place to avoid contaminants in the ground water or damage to the environment.

If all the foreign mining companies left Peru that would be an economic disaster considering one of the largest sources of income for the country comes from foreign mining companies and exports of their products.

While peruvian companies may be able to take over the large mining projects, they simply do not have the capital required to process and give the final added value to the materials for export. Let alone the multi-million dollars of investment just in machinery to extract the materials.
