Manganese spot price going up, page-102

Be a bit surprised if the 21 day lockdown in South Africa is not extended. I mean, whats 21 days in the overall scheme of things.. not much. But anyway, I suppose if it continues it could be selectively applied to metropolitan areas and exclude remote areas. JMS operations are in the Kalihari Manganese Field .... a desert area at least 100kms from any sizeable town.. and long way from major metropolitan areas. Beats me why they would apply a blanket lockdown that would cover such entities. Especially as mining exports are the only thing holding the basket case economy together.

Not sure about the divvy. 1c at best given the low Mn prices the previous half year , but with the shutdown they may wish to keep the cash for a while, even though they have plenty of $ in the bank. Would prefer to defer rather than an outright divvy cancellation.
