Video Interview with David Coombs on Copper Mine Costs and Fundamental Support for Prices - The copper industry is experiencing a rapid period of change reflecting the credit crunch and ensuing global economic downturn. At mid-year 2008, prior to the Lehman Brothers collapse, we had around fifty mines in construction that cumulatively could have supplied around 2Mt of new capacity by 2011, approximately 11% of forecast mine supply that year.

Video Interview with Paul Smith on Zinc Mining Industry: Reaction to the Growing Global Recession - With regard to zinc - what a difference a year makes! Whilst the last few years have been stellar periods, the end of 2008 saw a rapid decline in price and a severe profit margin pressure brought to bear on all producers. Much of the new mine production brought into the market on the back of the price spike, has now since closed. And, as we enter 2009 the continuing global economic crisis will find further victims.

Video Interview with Andrew Mitchell - Nickel Rising nickel prices and growing nickel demand, particularly in China, during 2006 and 2007 led to an unprecedented growth in the number of nickel projects being developed and committed to. These factors also gave rise to the large scale production of nickel pig iron in China from imported laterite ores. Indeed, without the advent of nickel pig iron production the demand for nickel would have outstripped supply by an additional 70kt in 2007 and who knows where prices may have gone had this been the case – as it was prices reached record levels of over 50000 $/t in that year.

Video Interview with Andrew Mitchell on the Nickel Intermediates Service - Historically, the production side of the nickel industry has been a highly integrated business. In the sulphides sector, which has up until recently been the dominant source of new nickel production despite a global resource balance that favours the laterites, a company’s mine feed would pass through the same company’s processing plants all the way through to a saleable product.
