My mistake - I seem to recall 2nd Qtr being mentioned but cannot find it - Teaches me not to over sell my argument! :)

But my argument still stands that a lot of preparation would have to be done before production - and if they wanted to support the SP they should inform the market much more about what arrangements have been made.


Regarging world wide resoures, I found this on the net - it is a few years old but still todays figures would be similar. Other figures along these lines can be found by Googling "World Bauxite" & variations of that.


World Resources: Bauxite resources are estimated to be 55 to 75 billion tons, located in South America (33%),
Africa (27%), Asia (17%), Oceania (13%), and elsewhere (10%).
