RE:Big shot cuts output due to ore shortage:Ni and Co prices have been slaughtered by a certain Asian Superpower having obtained controlling interests in mines/concentrators often with no regard for safety and the environment (worst has to be this nickel pig iron proccess) in places like Indonesia and the DRC . They have and are now flooding the market creating multi year surpluses and driving down prices ...why??? cheaper input costs to their manufacturing stream and drives higher cost miners out of business to protect market share...note, the ownership of these entities can be traced back to people having indirect and even direct ties to the government..so any commoditee increase should be welcome news, its hardly blast off with Ni around $8 and Co around $11...and thats why Sherritt sits @ 20 cents...yikes...dwdc
