...wird sich bis 2012 voraussichtlich mehr als verdoppeln: aus: Congo, Dem. Rep. Mining Report Q3 2010 – New Market Research Report July 6, 2010 Copper and cobalt outlook appears bright A leaked government forecast obtained by Reuters in April 2010 was upbeat on the outlook for copper and cobalt production in DR Congo over the coming two years, as higher production from Tenke Fungurume filters through into higher output levels for the country as a whole. The forecast calls for copper output to increase from an estimated 409,935 tonnes in 2010 to 851,608 tonnes in 2012. At the same time, cobalt output is forecast to increase from an estimated 39,327 tonnes in 2010 to 91.355 tonnes in 2012. In light of this leaked memo, we have made some upwards revisions to our copper and cobalt production forecasts. However, we would stress that this bullish outcome will only be achieved if ongoing contract disputes within the copper and cobalt sector do not have a deleterious impact on Congolese mine output in the years to come. http://www.phongpo.com/2010/07/06/...2010-new-market-research-report/ |
