All related to steel. Global market has crashed to ever lowest in the history. Consumers are fading out.<br />Growth will be seen when any country starts growing, demanding for more steel. We called in ancient civilization as IRON AGE. Similarly today we call STEEL AGE. <br />We can focus more on Minerals for Agriculture. Few such minerals are Manganese, Rock phosphate, Pottash etc.<br />MESA Australia has developed one such Hydrometallurgy to consume waste 25%Mn for making EMD. It is good and consume less power. We can make use of this technology for making MnSO4 used as fertilizer in Mn deficient soils.<br />Regards<br /> K.S.Siva Rao<br />Director<br />Technology Development and marketing Business<br />Shiv Shankar Enterprises<br />Bansai Kakoda Curchorem GOA-403607<br />Cell No. +91-9637087056 / +91-9325378078<br />EMail ID: kshir.saiteja@gmail.com<br /> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914542453392826033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-86820955300920685572016-01-04T14:48:15.303+00:002016-01-04T14:48:15.303+00:00Hi Mike.

Wishing you and your family a good New ...Hi Barry, <br />Wishing you and your family a good New Year. Yes, I had forgotten about that from Indaba 2011. It seems such a long time ago followed by years of depressed metal prices and a dearth of new mining projects. Although I have to say I never really did believe in $8000/oz gold! In fact for 2016 I could quite easily see gold dropping to $800/oz. I don’t think any of us could have predicted where iron ore was going. As I hear on the news today that for the 1st business day of 2016 China’s stock market slumped 7% and then trading suspended and then Europe’s markets following China’s lead downwards who can predict what will happen.<br /> <br />On the plus side for gold projects the West African projects have lead the way since 2011 due to “responsible” mining companies such as Randgold and Aureus Mining leading the way with some long term sustainable operations where local communities and the environment has been a focus as well as profits and shareholder value. We shall see as the year unfolds but we at Maelgwyn Minerals got the distinct impression that project activity was picking up in the last quarter. Let’s hope so.
