RE: Iron ore imports outside China show signs of recovery10 Feb 2021 11:45
Iron ore is going to be required in most developed nations for several years, at a rate not seen for a long time.
We can already see heavy demand in China, and as the rest of the world spends on Infrastructure to claw their economy out of the grips of Covid, demand will soar.
The Chinese know this, and along with their wish for less reliance on Oz/Global markets, they are looking for alternative sources.
there are not many that fit the bill, Simandou being one that looks like it could come on stream in a few years, but that is not enough.
there really is only one other Globally significant source other than Simadou, that is undeveloped, and that is Zanaga.
Only a matter of time, and the returns will be spectacular.
Binary, yes, but the risk-reward justifies have a reasonable sum in here in my view. Not worth betting the farm, but with the likelihood of the resource being in demand, as it has not been in many years, never been a better time to be in ZIOC.
