Aluminum was once more costly than gold. Napoleon III, emperor of France, reserved cutlery made from it for his most favoured guests, and the Washington monument, in America’s capital, was capped with it not because the builders were cheapskates but because they wanted to show off. How times change. And in aluminium’s case they changed because, in the late 1880s, Charles Hall and Paul Héroult worked out how to separate the stuff from its oxide using electricity rather than chemical reducing agents. Now, the founders of Metalysis, a small British firm, hope to do much the same with tantalum, titanium and a host of other recherché and expensive metallic elements including neodymium, tungsten and vanadium.

The Taiwanese armed forces are conducting the annual Han Kuang series of military exercises, in an effort to validate their joint combat readiness in the wake of increasing tensions with China.
Scheduled to conclude on 19 April, the two-stage exercise involves participation from approximately 7,682 personnel from all three military services, and also features a live-fire anti-landing drill on the island of Penghu, Taiwan.
Featuring the public debut of the recently delivered Thunderbolt-2000 multiple rocket launcher system (MLRS), the drill aims to evaluate the military's ability to counter possible amphibious landing assaults and defend an offshore island against an attack by mainland forces.
Eighty one rockets are scheduled to be fired from nine truck-mounted launchers during the drill, which marks the first time live ammunition has been included in the exercises since 2008.
The Taiwanese Navy is participating with a Chengkung-class frigate and Kuang Hua VI fast-attack boats, while the air force has deployed its F-16A/B Fighting Falcon, F-CK-1 Ching-kuo indigenous defence fighter (IDF), as well as the F-5E fighter for the exercise.
Other weapons being used include AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopters, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior reconnaissance helicopters of the Army Aviation Task Force, in addition to 120mm mortars, M60A3 main battle tanks, and 155mm self-propelled howitzers.
Taiwan Ministry of National Defence (MND) officials were cited by Taiwan Today as saying that the drill also features anti-airborne operations and amphibious landings, as well as mechanised infantry and support manoeuvres, and live-fire manoeuvres.
The exercise represents first part of the Han Kuang drills, while the second part featuring computer-assisted war games to test and strengthen the country's information and electronic warfare capabilities is scheduled to take place from 16 to 20 July.
2014 Tungsten Mining Production in Kilda

PERTH (miningweekly.com), the ASX-listed junior Tungsten Mining is hoping to start production at its flagship Kilda mine, in Western Australia, by the third quarter of 2014.
Company MD Paul Berndt said this week that Tungsten Mining was some four to five months away from taking a decision to mine at Kilda.
The Kilda project currently has a targeted resource of between 1.3-million and 1.4-million tons, at between 0.7% and 0.9% tungsten. Drilling was under way to declare a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource at the project during the current quarter.
The resource and reserve work would be fed into an engineering pre-feasibility study, along with process test work, said Berndt.
Tungsten Mining has estimated a capital cost of some AUD 25-million to construct the project, as Berndt stated that most of the work required on the project would be conducted on a contract basis.
The company was also looking at options to reduce Kilda’s capital costs by introducing toll processers to build, own and operate a toll process for the Kilda ore.
The project was expected to have an eight-year life-of-mine, but Berndt noted that several exploration targets existed around the Kilba deposit, which could extend the project’s mine life.
Meanwhile, Berndt said that Tungsten Mining was on the cusps of signing a memorandum of understanding with supplier Global Tungsten and Powders (GTP) for a potential off-take agreement for the full supply of Kilda’s product.
The memorandum of understanding would include a financing option which could see GTP either arrange for or self-fund up to half of Kilda’s development costs.

- Hits: 4705
Industrial technology company Kennametal, Inc. ( KMT ) agreed Monday to acquire the Tungsten materials business of Allegheny Technologies, Inc. ( ATI ) for $605 million. The deal, which has the approval of both the companies' boards, is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2013.
"ATI's Tungsten Materials Business brings vital strategic assets that are an excellent complement to Kennametal, especially given our common focus on operational excellence and industry-leading material science," Kennametal Chairman, President and CEO Carlos Cardoso sad in a statement.
The Tungsten materials business, part of ATI's Engineered Products segment, is a producer of tungsten metallurgical powders, as well as tooling technologies and components, generating annual sales of around $340 million and operating profit of $37 million. It comprises two divisions such as ATI Firth Sterling and ATI Stellram.
Kennametal plans to fund the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and available borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility.
The acquisition is in line with Kennametal's long-term growth strategy of expanding presence in aerospace and energy end markets as well as further boosting its tooling portfolio. It also accelerates plans for expanding capacity and developing an advanced tungsten carbide recycling facility in the U.S. to serve global markets.
The deal is estimated to reduce planned capital expenditures by an estimated $30 million to $35 million. Kennametal also projects the deal to generate cost synergies of $30 million to $40 million on annual basis and cash tax benefits of between $60 million and $70 million.
Further, Kennametal expects the acquisition to be neutral to earnings for the remainder of its fiscal year 2014.
"The sale of our tungsten materials business to Kennametal, a recognized global leader in tungsten-based wear-resistant products, provides ATI with increased financial flexibility and simplifies capital allocation and deployment," ATI Chairman, President and CEO Rich Harshman stated.
Meanwhile, ATI said it will report the financial results of the tungsten materials business in discontinued operations pending completion of the transaction.
ATI noted that the sale strengthens its focus on core strategic businesses and emphasizes the technical, commercial and operating synergies between its High Performance Metals and Flat-Rolled Products segment businesses.
In Monday's regular trading session, KMT is currently trading at $46.71, up $0.71 or 1.54% on a volume of 0.29 million shares, and ATI is trading at $30.76, up $2.13 or 7.44% on a volume of 2.12 million shares.
