Heavy Oil and Oil Sands Introduction

BATTERIES, BIKES AND CARS
The catastrophic news of a large earthquake in central and south Chile on the morning of February 27, did not have any demonstrative impact on the lithium industry. The week has actually resulted in a number of positive developments for both lithium consumers and producers.

China & Crude: Battling New Frontiers
Flagging of its interest in the black gold this week, China National Oil Corporation secured its place in Iraq. Together with BP, it signed the first big oil deal. Why the sudden interest in oil?
Down, Down, Down For Oil Majors?
All eyes are on oil majors, as they battle a refining slump. BP reports results Tuesday, followed by Conoco on Wednesday, Exxon and Shell on Thursday, and Chevron on Friday. Though the sector is up 20 per cent, refineries are struggling as demand remains limp. Is there a way out?
What’s Adding Fuel To The Fire?
Gold may be taking off right now, but it's not the only thing in an uptrend. Energy is also moving higher. The considerable drop of investment in oil exploration and production is, however, set to bring the risk of oil prices hike in the future. In Iraq, a different picture is playing out.
Advantage: Crude
Even as investors are mulling mixed signals over crude supply numbers from the Energy Information Administration, there are clear indications that the Gulf state leaders have no plans to stop pricing oil in dollars. The rumour had traders hitting the panic button.

Politics & Palladium: Showtime!
Political wrangling over the General Motor bailout could well be the silver lining for Stillwater Mining Co. Other automakers continue to use palladium, thereby ensuring higher prices.
Palladium: A Better Show Than Gold
With the Federal Reserve promising to keep US interest rates at a record low of near zero for the foreseeable future, analysts expect gold and other precious metals to fetch higher prices in the coming months. Palladium prices have been playing catch-up after plummeting in response to sluggish industrial demand and is expected to be a better show than gold in 2009.
Palladium touches 11-month high
Palladium prices climbed to an 11 month high of $274.50 an ounce on Tuesday, as dollar weakness and growing investor risk appetite boosted the precious metals complex.
Palladium capitalizes on down economy
Palladium’s gains were snapped last Friday as the greenback rallied. The precious metal came under pressure as a study from the University of Michigan showed an unexpected increase in consumer confidence. This reduced the metals “safe-haven” appeal.

Tantalum Supply Running On Empty
The global economic downturn has disrupted the supply/demand fundamentals in the tantalum market in a way that may prove very beneficial to junior miners operating in conflict-free zones.
Working Toward a Conflict-Free Mineral Trade
Companies who rely on gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum to manufacture their products are coming under increasing public pressure to ensure the minerals they use are conflict free.
Tracing the Tantalum Trade—Part Two
Companies like Apple and Hewlett Packard say they are taking measures to insure conflict minerals don’t end up in their products. But is the work of identifying conflict minerals in the supply chain as difficult has they say?
Tracing the Tantalum Trade–Part One

Cadbury Cans Its Roses, Tin In Epicentre
Cadbury has abandoned its tin cans for cardboard boxes, in an attempt to go green this Christmas. Could this prove to be the death knell for the tin industry?
Rising Metal Prices Puts Mine On Track
Tin mining is to make a triumphant return to Cornwall as part of a landmark scheme which will create 1,000 new jobs and see vast swathes of land turned over to housing and employment. Western United Mines has sealed a deal that will bring mining operations back to life.
Tin Trades Trudge On
One investor seems to be buying up most of the tin traded on the LME. Sparking unease among traders, several questions are doing the rounds - are the prices being pushed up artificially? Why the big position? Who benefits?
Defeated ArcelorMittal Lowers Tin Price
Following major criticism over the increase of its tin-plate prices, which were adjusted yearly by 69% to 78%, ArcelorMittal South Africa (ACLJ.J)
has toned down prices. The decision was welcomed by the packaging industry. But tin prices have yet to respond significantly to the fresh supply problems in Indonesia, which may be partly due to the strong recovery in Chinese production.
West Eager To Break Chinese Monopoly
Low demand, low prices, and the break up of the former USSR has led to a collapse in tungsten production. With China soldering on as the predominant tungsten producer in the world, the West is seeking out direct ownership of non-Chinese mines. Where is the fresh supply?
Stagnant tungsten market dips prices
The ferro-tungsten market has been stagnant in recent weeks, with only a handful of transactions taking place. Last Friday, in China, inactivity translated into a dip in prices. Ferro-tungsten fell to $25.90 a kilogram, down from the recent rate of $28.00 per kilogram.
For tungsten miners, it’s exploration as usual
The tungsten market has been quiet for ’09. Ferro-tungsten prices have been slowly creeping up due to short supply, so it is exploration as usual for the tungsten business. Tungsten exploration outside of China is critical, as the country has a monopoly on the metal used for military and aeronautical equipment.
Supply cutbacks influence tungsten market
Chinese ferrotungsten export prices have been creeping up since the conclusion of the spring festival in January. Low prices in the fourth quarter of 2008 pushed many key tungsten producers to stop operations. The same miners have announced, that despite the current trend, they do not plan to resume mining and production in short term.
