re: Ann: Galaxy Sells Second Shipment of Tant...
The Tantalum is only the icing on the cake,a fairly thin one at that.
" "Ron Gilerman, managing director at A&R Merchants, which trades tantalum and other exotic metals, said the prices out of Brazil were at $80 per pound. He said another 50% increase in prices across the board in 2011 is in the offing."
So, lets say $100 - $120, 17,000lbs would be around 2m."
It seems like it may have been about 1/2 that amount.
