RE:RE:Record briquette premium I wonder why Sherrit is not looking at the oil sands as a future source of metals. In the the 1980's a number of groups were saying that they represented the worlds largest deposit of precious metals, titanium and Vanadium. The Alberta Research Council successfully piloted a Vanadium extraction method using roasting-Leaching-SX from coke, as an example. Perhaps the answers to their supply wows and future are under their nose.
