  • "Logistics considerations, particularly in less developed regions such as parts of Africa and Asia, can form a large proportion of a project's total cost and are therefore fundamental in identifying the potential returns on a project," [Andy Miller] explained.

    "The major players in the graphite and fluorspar markets over the coming decade are likely to be projects in areas such as Vietnam, Mongolia and Mozambique, where accessibility may be an issue." "As China steps back from its place as the world's top raw material supplier, there will be a gap in the market for new low cost supply. Which countries step into this void will define new trade routes," Miller said.
