For Your Calcs.
@ QuarterDollar,
I'm not sure if this helps with your spread sheet ?
The first one is from 2020, and if you can find the price of Moly back then, then you might be able to determin the useage iin tonnnes ? (imports).

These others are also worth a look-see ?

@5ilver I did think of the same thing, but couldn't find historical Moly price. Thanks for trying. I will take a look later.

Based upon the links you provided 5ilver, I am guestimating the amount of Moly imported into SK is between 6,000 and 9,000 tonnes. LB stated that we cannot produce more that 25% of SK input. That will give us a profit around the $30M, if Moly prices still hold up

Try the site at.....tradingeconomics.com/commodity/molybdenum. You can review up to a 10 price chart, and what is shows is that there is a sleeping giant at Sandong.

@Deschenes...... I was on that site a few times and I was using the top drop down and I thought it could go back only a month. Now that you sent the link again, I just saw the bottom left corner which could go back years. Thanks !!!

Some times it just takes a small kick to get the ball rolling on a thread. Was this the info you were seeking for so long QuarterDollar ? Can you provide a direct link to the page you mentioned ? :-) Thank you Deschenes for your research on this.

Because most things gradually half in value or cost over time! Lol /s I wonder what is driving that forecasted drop!
