This point you make is a good one. I posted on the treatment charges for spot zinc concentrates being NEGATIVE. If you had concentrates you were holding back and smelters were going to PAY you to treat it I think you would be selling all you had. I think the tightness and record high price has smoked out most of the hidden inventories of metal, and the spot treatment charges going negative has concentrates in short supply.
