It's worth remembering that China is the world's largest refined tin producer, a status that is easy to forget given the current low impact it makes on global trade flows.

But is that low profile due to the export tax more than to domestic supply-demand dynamics?

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

So what happens next?

Probably very little in the immediate future.

This sort of WTO trade case can take years to resolve. The first step is consultation between the United States and China to see whether they can, to quote the USTR, "reach a mutually agreed solution".

Only if that consultation phase fails to produce a result will the complaint move to the next stage, the formation of a dispute-settlement panel to examine in greater detail the case for enforcement action.

But, as the USTR pointedly noted in its official statement on July 13, the United States has a good track record of winning such disputes.

"Since 2009, the Administration has brought 22 enforcement actions (including this one) at the WTO, and won every single one decided thus far."

And specifically it has won two cases against Chinese export duties on metals: "China - Measures Related to the Exportation of Various Raw Materials" and "China - Measures Relating to the Exportation of Rare Earths, Tungsten, and Molybdenum."

In both cases the WTO confirmed that China was obligated to eliminate export duties on any products other than those listed in that original annex to the 2001 protocol.

Oh dear,the price of Tungsten is down and the mill has to have its faults remedied,but apart from that all is well. All we now need to guarantee success are some competent design engineers and for war to break out to drive up the price of tungsten.

Hi Dudishes I live a few miles from the site any chance of joining you on the visit??

Katie - pure speculation, as I ascribed. Did not take up the Monday (as mentioned offer),

I have a meeting with Mgt on site, in July. I will inform all.

should read "New Mine Manager" needed

[horncastle] 22/5/2016 11:37

General Manager gone. New Mines Needed. New Process Engineer needed..Tungsten price heading north. There is obviously something wrong at the mine.I would guess the kaolinised ore is not responding as expected to the processes. They will undoubtedly get it sorted .What a wonderful buying opportunity !!!

The Tungsten price has dropped slightly.

Dudishes

Don't understand your post , are you saying YOU have bought 3 tranches last week and you may buy again Monday ? If not why do you expect another tranche on Monday, and why is it pure speculation other than someone thinking it's undervalued and is a good investment.

[keya5000] 22/5/2016 08:35

This seems totally disconnected to its product. Given the tungsten recovery and the noise around such you would have expected 15p by now. Seems unloved.

[dudishes] 22/5/2016 06:38

3 tranches purchased last week, another expected Monday. pure speculation, be careful out there!

Mod, the price graph seems to have been frozen in time back in late march, is there anything wrong?

[katie priceless] 30/4/2016 12:20

Looking at the photo , it seems to be just a crack in the plaster.

Could the mine put up a wall to reduce the noise ? Or even plant tree's

This is a fuller article from the Totnes Times.

Wolf are going to have to work on their community relations ASAP, IMO.
