According to MB(Metal Bulletin) an English paper, market quotes of tungsten in Rotterdam on 6^th this month was $39.50-39.00 per kilogram, dropped 10 cents. Many marketers reckoned there is still some room for the price to fall by the end of the first quarter.

“a business couples quote the current price at $39-39.5 per kilogram, but there has yet any news. I am not expecting to enter the market, I will wait and see.” A merchant said. The market is stalling at a down spiral, anther merchant suggested that the market won’t recover soon, “ My initial quotation is 40 dollars, some customers were willing to make the deal, but it turned out that the price was far below 40.”

“I heard that the price will stall at some point between 39-40, but I don’t think the downward trends will stop” One gentle man said, added the Rotterdam’s quotation is at its lowest point since December, 2010, marketing transactions is cool and profit margin is contracting, even quite a few businessmen are at lost.

A man expressed his frustration with tungsten market saying “ tungsten business hard to run and no positive signs can be seen though, suppliers seem to be not ready to ship their goods.

Yesterday, Colt Resources announced the signing of a binding letter of intent for the option to purchase roughly 247 acres (equivalent to 1.0 km² aka 100 hectares), on which the company plans to construct the necessary surface mining infrastructure for the Tabuaço tungsten project in northern Portugal. The parcel of property, known as Passa Frio, would serve as the site for the processing plant (including jaw crushers, mill and concentrator), warehouses, dams and tailings impoundment facility needed to bring the mine into production. The property is situated away from residential areas and already is zoned to permit the construction of the off-site processing infrastructure. Over the next months, Colt Resources will have the property surveyed to verify legal title. Thereafter, for a payment of €100,000, Colt Resources may enter into three-year option enabling the purchase Passa Frio for €350,000.

The Tabuaço tungsten project is comprised of a scheelite (tungsten) deposit with a NI 43-10-compliant indicated resource estimate of 815,000 MTU WO₃ (1,495,000 tonnes grading 0.55% WO₃) and an inferred resource estimate of 720,000 MTU WO₃ (1,230,000 tonnes grading 0.59% WO₃). A portion of the deposit underlies a port wine vineyard on the western terraced slope of the Távora River valley. In August 2011, Colt Resources acquired 140 hectares of surface rights, which includes the Senhora do Convento vineyard and operational winery that produces port and red table wines. By securing the land over most of the São Pedro das Águias deposit, the company has unencumbered access to a large part of the project area, including the site which is most suitable for the entrance to the planned underground mine.

As demonstrated by this and preceding announcements, management is fast tracking the development of the Tabuaço tungsten project. The Experimental Mining License (EML) for Tabuaço was granted by the DGEG in February, and work on a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) continues. Management anticipates the PEA to be completed during the second quarter. Thereafter, management plans to conduct a pilot mill test on approximately 20 metric tons of scheelite ore. Also, the potential production of fluorite concentrate as by-product will be examined

Management continues to be engaged in discussions with undisclosed potential partners to bring the mine to production at Tabuaço within two or three years. We would expect that the development of Tabuaço would be structured in a manner similar to the Penedono joint venture with the partner providing capital and further developing the project in order to earn a substantial stake in the concession. In this manner, Colt Resources would be able to focus its capital resources on the development of the Boa Fé gold project in southern Portugal. Nonetheless, management plans on bring the Tabuaço scheelite mine to production in 2015.

We reaffirm our Outperform rating and recently raised price target of $2.15, which is based on an estimated share value of attributable resources indicated by Colt’s NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimates. We consider our valuation model to be conservative in that it also includes prospective developmental costs at Boa Fé and Tabuaço.

China holds a commanding position in world economy. Its economy has grown immensely since1978, when it launched its "reform and opening-up" strategy. It is now the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP and by purchasing power parity, next only to the United States according to a report "Gauging china's influence" published by the international monetary fund (IMF) in December 2010. Its real gross domestic product has grown by about 10 per cent annually, implying a doubling every seven to eight years.

China's share of world GDP and trade is rising rapidly. It is increasing its linkages with the rest of the world. Its share in world trade has increased nearly tenfold over the past three decades, to about 9 per cent, while its share in world GDP has risen to 13 per cent from less than 3 per cent during the period, according to IMF. Flows of trade and capital between china and the rest of the world are causing growth in other countries. 

Many countries were drawn to invest in china for its cheap labor and strong infrastructure like roads, ports, airports and energy systems. It has also flourished in energy and mineral resources such as coal, iron ore, crude petroleum, natural gas, antimony ore, tin, tungsten, salt, vanadium and molybdenum. China is also gifted with ample potentials for hydroelectric resources because of its river network and mountain terrain.

Lately, however, the pattern of investment in China is undergoing a change, due mainly to hike in wage structure-- approximately 25 per cent a year in major industry sectors. China is also experiencing some worrying inflationary trends right now that are pushing up the prices of everything from a bowl of rice to apartment rentals. Added to that, China unified its corporate income tax system last year, bringing the previous low rates that foreign businesses enjoyed in some cases from 15 to 25 per cent. 

That is why, it has become a matter of concern for the foreign investors to consider finding out another country which can supplement their investment decisions. China plus One or China +1 is an international business strategy that consists of the expansion of one company's current operations in China, say, to a Southeast Asian nation as there is a proverb "don't put your all eggs in a single basket". Many countries are now looking for a country having low wage rate, strong infrastructure and a suitable atmosphere for business. Vietnam in this case is fast coming up to prove itself as a decent destination of realising the need of a second country to invest.

Many countries are now contemplating to exploit the prospects of investing in Vietnam. "A lot of contact manufacturers have moved to Vietnam," said the CEO for the Asia-Pacific region at DB Schenker (subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG that focuses on logistics). "The country has moved beyond its early cargo base and increasingly takes care of electronics manufacturing, a trend that has been stoked further by many companies' 'China plus one' strategy,'' he added.

Japan's Yusen Air and Sea Service last year opened an office and a 64,000 sq ft warehouse near Hanoi. Vietnam signed an aviation bilateral with the US which also gives designated airlines the right to carry cargo to and from third countries. FedEx boosted its lift four-fold last year when it upgraded to A310F aircraft to serve Vietnam. It is visible that investment in Vietnam is increasing day by day. In every manufacturing sector foreign investments are rising at great speed.

But the question is why Bangladesh is unable to grip the opportunity. Bangladesh also has the advantage of low wage and abundant manpower. Understandably, the problems for Bangladesh very often pointed out include its deficient infrastructure, unskilled manpower, political instability and last but not the least, volatile capital market. The problems are daunting to find a quick remedy. But in the absence of corrective measures, the situation will further worsen in the days to come. Given the opportunity, it is in the interest of the nation that the policymakers should chalk out a roadmap so that some visible improvements are in place before it is too late.

Environment minister Wong Kam-sing hopes to reach agreement within the next two months over the phasing out of incandescent lightbulbs.

"A public consultation was launched in 2011 to phase out incandescent lightbulbs, starting with the least energy-efficient types first," Wong said after a public event to promote energy efficiency yesterday.

The European Union and countries such as Switzerland and Australia have been phasing out incandescent lightbulbs since last year. The United States and Malaysia are due to follow suit next year.         

Wong said the Environment Bureau has opted for a "charter plan" rather than legislation to achieve this.

"After studying comments by the public, we have chosen a charter plan under which an agreement will be reached with lightbulb traders to stop supplies," he said.

"Lightbulbs will be phased out entirely," said Wong, adding the exact time frame will be agreed by both sides. "The government is finalizing details with traders."

When asked if the scheme will be voluntary, he said there is a wide consensus in the industry to phase out such bulbs.

"I am optimistic since both the public and the trade share in the importance of saving energy," Wong added.

It is proposed the sale of incandescent lightbulbs, of 25 watts or more, will be banned if they fail to meet a minimum energy efficiency standard.

In his policy address in 2009, then chief executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen proposed a cash coupon scheme in which the public would receive HK$100 coupons to exchange for energy- saving lightbulbs.

But the scheme never took off and it was scrapped.

The Energy Saving and Environment Concern Alliance welcomes the "charter" plan.

"At least we are seeing the government take this a step further," said a spokesman for the alliance, adding that it is a good development.

According to the alliance, some lightbulbs such as the tungsten halogen lamps, widely used in commercial displays, will be temporarily exempted from the ban as there is no effective substitute.

The alliance said instead of switching to energy-saving lightbulbs, consideration should be given to switching to LED bulbs that have longer life and may be 10 times more efficient than incandescent ones.

Some industry experts believe that within 10 years, LED bulbs will save more energy than other green technologies including high-voltage power transmission, electric vehicles, smart grids or renewable power.

Domestic tungsten prices tend to grow smoothly, manufacturers are bullish about APT, they keen on adjusting the price. The highest point of the price has touched 180 thousand yuan per ton, tungsten carbide powder price rose as well, which has led downstream firms to lower their purchase volume. Trading volumes of waste tungsten picked up a little bit with price rising modestly under the affects of parts of the merchants. Tungsten price is expected to grow steadily. Macroscopically, Central Bank is restarting the buyback of excess liquidity, so monetary policy might be tightened in a modest manner. The so-called “New Five Articles OF China”(which aims at restricting the housing market) will soon be implemented, and room for speculation is narrowed. The sales volume of retailers in America rose slightly in February. It is expected that tungsten price might continue to rise steadily in the short run.
