i somewhat agree with you - AU doesn't even rank in the top 10 for reserves for graphite (and therefore future exports) ==

But, iron ore will be interesting when China bring the Simandou mine online over in Guinea. From what I've read, it will produce about 12% of what the whole WA produces at a higher grade (65% vs 60%). And I have no doubts they will use it to manipulate the iron ore prices once Simandou is in full production.

We need to move up the value chain to be able to compete since developing countries are now seeing the value of their own natural resources and we won't be able to compete due to our high costs.

Need to be smarter not working like we are back in the 2000's , thankfully RNU is one of the exceptions ..........
