BASE METALS DAY 09-10-09
Date: Friday 9th October 2009
Our New Mining Journal Investor Seminars continue with BASE METALS DAY
After the dramatic fall in base-metals prices during the second half of last year, there has been an encouraging recovery in 2009.
Zinc and copper have been noteworthy achievers, and the price of nickel also rose in the second quarter. Restocking continues to underpin these metals prices and, although metals consumption remains depressed, investors are again showing interest in the sector.
