| Abstract: |
Canadian junior Rocher Deboule Minerals estimates it could produce electrolytic manganese from its Artillery Peak project, in Arizona, for less than $0,50/lb, which would put it among the lowest cost producers of the vital steelmaking ingredient.
In fact, at any cost, Artillery would still be the only producing manganese mine in the US or Canada, which means the firm would definitely be able to sell its product domestically, stripping out additional costs like cross-border taxes, CEO Larry Reaugh said in an interview from Vancouver. |
