Rocher Deboule is undertaking the development of a large open pit Manganese mine in Arizona USA.

The project has met the securities regulators standards through a NI 43 101 mineral resource report. The property contains 10,000,000,000 lbs of contained manganese and when completed will be the only domestic source of a vital strategic metal. Manganese was in near shortage just a year ago.

Please visit our website to see the photographs of the project; they give you an idea of the vast size of this known deposit.

Mining weekly has covered the project twice

please contact for further info.

Lisa, Thank you for your quick reply. I would find historical data very useful. I am trying to analyze margins for some companies I cover versus steel prices going back thorugh the past recession and I have had little luck finding data. John

Hi John, try http://www.thesteelindex.com. It’s a subscription model. We’re going to be developing historical data and forecasting for the MetalMiner IndX(SM) and hope to also add domestic steel data. We’ll keep you posted on that front! LAR

I am researching historical steel prices and I am having a hard time finding the data going back to the last recession. Is there a good data source available for a variety of different steel products like hot rolled or electrical grade?

Comment on your story “Could Nickel’s Run be at an End?”. The demand for metals is cyclical and closely related to global industrial production. Looking ahead, I’m optimistic that the markets will come back sooner than most pundits expect! Be optimistic!

Just a quick note to say how much I’ve appreciated your ideas and commentary of late, especially those tying domestic and trade policy to the global sourcing markets. You truly produce a model blog for the sourcing and supply chain community — thought provoking, expert and opinionated. I am humbled by what you’ve been able to accomplish so far and I’m excited to see what’s next. Nice work, Lisa and Stuart (and Amy, Nate and all the other contributors to date).

You wrote some good commentary about “China vs Mexico” for metal fab parts a couple months ago. What is the best way to find the premier precision machining shops in Mexico? Is there a tooling trade association or similar organization to contact?
