Zircon and rutile prices rising as US kaolin producers seek price hikes for 2011
Zircon prices “are going mental” in China
according to one source, with demand increasing and material in
short supply.
Prices (ex-Chinese warehouse) are up to $1,250-1,350/tonne and
there are reports they could lift another $150-250/tonne and
reach $1,500/tonne in Q1 next year.
Supply shortages of premium grade zircon going forward...
