Ann: Chalice Mining identifies new Ni-Cu-PGE targets at Thor, page-34

Covid was a perfect storm for Sn prices, yet a double edged sword. Reduced mining output due to lock downs and restrictions and a huge increase in e- commerce sales due to a record number of people working from home, bored people at home (all buying new home computers, TVs etc..) and a government flinging money around like no tomorrow. China had zero covid cases then () and could still produce/sell home electronics. Part the reason why all the tech stocks are getting flogged.

"Harvey Norman – along with retail rivals Kogan.com, JB Hi-Fi, and Temple and Webster – benefited hugely in the early stages of the pandemic, as a river of stimulus flowed into the pockets of locked-down Australians, many of whom upgraded home offices, shopped online and embarked on home improvements."

Same reason for the record Sn prices in the 80s. Everybody out buying home computers.
