It is a great discovery that suggests there must be more jadarite on this planet.” Nenad Grubin Senior manager, Resource Studies One of the original team who discovered the Jadar deposit operationsProduction, reserves and Discovering a new mineral in Serbia In 2004, we discovered a new mineral containing both borates and lithium in Serbia’s Jadar Valley, which we called jadarite. After more than a decade of research and development, we have started the pre-feasibility study of our potential jadarite mine and processing facility. The study will help us to understand the scale and quality of the mineral and develop new technology to extract and process it. Jadar: ranked as Alongside our environmental and one of social impact assessment, the study is allowing us to explore different ways to potentially develop the project – from logistics to economics, the largest and environment to impact on local lithium deposits in the world communities.

quantities of ore plus concentrates and pellets.

    Small and Mid-Cap Resources December 2017 Review Let the Good Times Roll WHO IS IIR? Independent Investment Research, “IIR”, is an independent investment research house based in Australia and the United States. IIR specialises in the analysis of high quality commissioned research for Brokers, Family Offices and Fund Managers. IIR distributes its research in Asia, United States and the Americas. IIR does not participate in any corporate or capital raising activity and therefore it does not have any inherent bias that may result from research that is linked to any corporate/ capital raising activity.

Coombs Centre for Financial Studies, Kirribilli, on 15–16 August 2011. We would like to thank our colleagues at the RBA and participants at the Conference for their helpful comments.

Authors: connollye and orsmondd at domain rba.gov.au Media Office: [email protected] Abstract The Australian mining industry experienced a remarkable turnaround during the 2000s. The rapid growth of emerging economies in Asia drove a surge in demand for commodities, particularly those used in steel and energy generation. With global supply unable to respond quickly, prices surged to historically high levels. In response, mining investment in Australia rose to record levels as a share of the economy by the end of the decade. The rise in commodity prices has boosted activity and incomes and encouraged the factors of production to shift towards the mining industry. The boom has also been associated with a large increase in the real exchange rate, affecting trade-exposed industries.
