Newsletter 04/25/00 Tantalum Prices Skyrocket $40/Lb in the last 60 days Dealer prices for scrap tantalum clips have jumped from an average of $75/lb in February to $100-$115/Lb today. There is reportedly a shortage of ore caused by increased consumption of tantalum capacitors used in cell phones. Several tantalum buyers report there is simply no material around. Is Ruthenium the next best gamble? Prices have jumped from $40/oz a year ago to $105/oz today. One speculator we interviewed believes that in two years Ruthenium will be valued between $300 and $400/oz. Another predicted $140/oz soon. Ruthenium is being used in a new miniature fuel cell that may replace traditional batteries. The new cell carries 10 times more energy, weighs less, and is less expensive to purchase. The fuel cell uses a catalyst which is a mixture of Ruthenium and Platinum to create a reaction that provides the electrical current. This should bode well for the AVL future. Source metalprices.com
