no matter what the markets are dooing our chromite will fill the north american markets and the nickle should follow the chromite to stainless steel producers here. xstrata is having a lot of problems with there mines and govt. exporting rules in africa. there is no place eltse to get it but the ROF. evan if the market is low think of how many things are manufactured here out of stainless and if it can be produced in north america cheaper than imported goods from china or japan people will buy and our markets will move up....ken..( venting lol)
