It is important to note that our end product, high purity manganese sulphate, will be in high demand with a supply deficit anticipated within the next year. Not surprisingly, there has been a major price increase: $1,145 per metric ton in October last year, has more than doubled to $2,505 this October (data from the Korea Mineral Resource Information Service) a trend that appears to be continuing.
