Further positive news http://www.indmin.com/Article/3668685/Iodine/ACF-lays-off-mine-staff-as-low-iodine-price-pinches.html Published: Friday, 10 March 2017 The Chilean miner has released the mining staff at its Lagunas iodine operation, stopping primary iodine extraction at the site, as a low price dynamic in the mineral continues to cause producers to struggle.

hxxp://www.economiaynegocios.cl/busqueda/noticia.asp?id=340399 "This Tuesday 100 workers of the company ACF Minera SA were laid off from the Lagunas work in the Region of Tarapacá, to which were added another 100 contractors that served to this non-metallic mining due to low iodine prices".

SQM Q4 news just out!!! Price for Q4 $20.77 for them but they say ti looks like it has bottomed out. They also say they produced 9000mt at NV and 1000 at PDV and have an effective capacity of 10,000. Sales however are 10,200 tonnes and they expect it to be higher in 2017. In short they are now eating into inventory. So they are maxed out at NV on 9000 tonnes but that expansion of 2,500 tonnes is under threat due to serious breaches of the EIA and illegal wells (currently being investigated) *************************** Our sales volumes during 2016 totaled 10,200 MT, approximately 9% higher than sales volumes seen during 2015. We currently have an effective capacity of 10,000 MT/year, with 9,000 MT coming from our most efficient plant in Nueva Victoria. (that plant is where they are under investigation) In recent months we have seen prices stabilize, and we are cautiously optimistic that prices may not deteriorate more during 2017. http://s1.q4cdn.com/793210788/files/doc_news/2017/PR_4Q16_ing_FINAL.pdf

Mes, if you pay for iodine price data you can see a trend. Feb data should be interesting

Cosayach have significantly reduced production. Would not be surprised to see that fact mentioned on www.indmin.com Remember each dollar rise is with 500k dollars to Iofina's bottim line.

Going around Cosayach has stopped production for 45 - 60 days. Iodine prices to rise imo

Market-order extension period : The second type of additional auction period is a market-order extension. If at the end of the 5-minute auction period there are market orders left unfilled - i.e., orders that are to be executed at best price, but there is insufficient volume to completely execute them - then the auction process trips over into a market-order extension period.
