  • As the global mining business ushers in another new year, it seems that the "stealth bulls", conjured by some leading industry figures at the end of 2013, are still treading softly in what remains a distinctly bearish market.

    "A lot of early stage projects have simply been put on hold with only minimum licence commitments being met," Alexander Keepin, global co-head of mining at international law firm, Berwin Leighton Paisner, told the Financial Times (FT).

    "The ubiquity of graphite in the global economy all but assures this," added [Chris Berry], who has also hinted at House Mountain's tentative confidence in the recovery of the global rare earths sector.
