Message: Re: Baja Mining eyes $1bn manganese upside at Boleo / bayboy

This article is almost unbelievable ! Baja claims that their manganese production would be approx 220,000 tons/year. That is 11 times the annual production of the year 2005 when 20,000 tons were produced, albeit almost ALL in China. The latest quotes I have for Manganese carbonite are around $800/metric ton. Therefor, if my figures are correct, Baja could sell their MnCO3 for $160 million / year. Can this possibly be correct? (times 23 year mine life= $3.6 Billion)

Please reply re: this info.
