Duma to hear platinum export bill 15th October 2008

Read more about the platinum group metals markets in Johnson Matthey's bi-annual reviews click here.
The State Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament, is set to hear a bill relating to the export of platinum group metals today (Wednesday, 15th October), it has been reported.

According to official Russian news agency Itar-Tass, the bill concerns the state control of platinum group metal exports, which the Russian government believes "runs counter to Russia's antitrust laws and is excessive in the conditions of Russia's forthcoming accession to the World Trade Organisation".

At present, state company Almazyuvelirexport controls the export of platinum group metals, and as such deals with organisations including the Central Bank of Russia and Norilsk Nickel.

However, the status quo will be examined in the Duma with all three readings of the bill tipped to be carried out in the same day.

MP Oleg Morozov, first deputy speaker of the Duma, suggests that this will be of great benefit to Russia.

Quoted by Itar-Tass, he said the end of the platinum exporting monopoly "will boost our competitive capability on the international markets of precious metals".

Norilsk Nickel is a prominent producer of, amongst other metals, platinum, palladium and nickel.

Russia's Duma to permit unofficial use of state flag, 15/10/08

You luckly dog

Gold @ $5,000/ounce would make LFG very getty!

Insider buying (small) being reported today

The women jumped ship... Myself, I'm thinking we're near bedrock and opportunity is knocking. Then again.. the SS Palladium could hit the bedrock and sink.

Seriously... I plan to start day trading PAL/SWC next week to try and take advantage of these wild swings.

lfg

Nice to see good news... especially in this slash and burn market. FRPT is looking stronger every day.

PAL Boat for sale.... low mileage... needs work

Seriously, nothing one can do in this market. Tough times are here to stay.

lfg

Perhaps this is part of the problem for PAL

Gold Fields cools it heels on platinum

[miningmx.com] -- GOLD Fields will put its platinum prospect in Finland back in the drawer as it seeks a way to extract value from it after North American Palladium "PAL" decided not to continue with it, said CEO Nick Holland.


Gold Fields and NAP has a joint venture agreement struck in October 2005 that NAP could take up to 60% of Arctic Platinum Project (APP) by spending some $12.5m on the project and make a decision before the end of August 2008 if it was going to build a mine there.

NAP found high steel and diesel prices as well as the strong euro against the dollar weighed against starting a project at APP which has about 12 million resource ounces. The project reverted back to Gold Fields at the end of August.

The holding cost for Arctic Platinum is low so we’re under no pressure to do anything with it,” Holland told Miningmx. “We can put it in the bottom drawer.”

Picked up another 1000 @ $7.16 will my SIL Meat

lfg

I'm out of the house again today.. but early reports look bad -
Platinum prices fell more than 5 percent on Tuesday to $1,099 an ounce on growing worries about falling demand from auto makers.

Keeps the ships at least floating today... see ya tonight

lfg

OT was able to pickup another 570 shares of SWC AH between 6.13 - 6.14.. Couldn't get any PAL at 2.60

My boats are over loaded and ready to rumble

He can take us up based on internal growth and performance, external growth through acquistions, or sell us at a nice price point... doesn't really matter to me... but I'm confident he'll do one of the above.

I had the day off to play outside... glad I didn't have to watch a 500 point drop. lfg

Very nice mates! PAL up .49 SWC up .48... then PAL added another .08 AH

Don't know what caused the change in direction today, but here's to it continuing next week.

lfg

Love to see it close $3.00 or above...

I've picked some up at every bottom so far! LOL.. Yesterday I really went nuts on $2.28. That must be the bottom.. I tell ya

What... PM up today? I thought for sure Palladium was headed down to $1.99/ounce.. Must be Ike or George Bush's fault for the rise.

The water is deep and dark... but the trip back up will be a blast!

Palladium $235.. what's the cost to mine? crazy market

Turning ugly now...

SWC Green and moving north... lets get PAL moving now

At $2.50 I'm tapping my 401k... Less risk.

Palladium is dead.... dead... dead I say. Hear me!
