RE:RE:China/Mineral sand imports True, not super encouraging. But, geopolitics can play in MDLs favor to the extent that western based mineral sand companies are incentivized by their respective governments to limit exports to China, especially given that China will process uranium and thorium from the monazite as well. I wouldn't think that would play well in countries like Australia where tensions with China run high. We'll see. But I suppose all other hurdles and risks aside, China running the market has as always been the giant elephant (er... tiger?) in the room.
