Tantalum contracts to generate up to $123m revenue
13:42, Wednesday, 18 June 2003

Sydney - Wednesday - June 18: (RWE) - Tantalum Australia NL has
been awarded long-term contracts that will generate revenue of $56
million with the potential to reach $123 million.
Tantalum says the margins it will achieve in these contracts can
be regarded as normal and commercial for trading in such commodities.
A sales contract for the supply of tantalum materials has been
signed that incorporates a conditional agreement for the supply of
niobium products (a by-product of the tantalum business) that is
awaiting formal product qualification.
The sales contract is linked to supply agreements Tantalum has
entered with a European metal refining group, for the supply to Tantalum
of tantalum and niobium products and the supply by Tantalum to it, of
tantalum (Ta2O5)/niobium (Nb2O5) concentrates.
The tantalum material contracts will generate sales revenue of
about $56 million.
The contract includes the supply of tantalum and niobium raw
material concentrates by Tantalum.
Sales revenue of the potential niobium product contract is about
$22 million.
Minimum revenue over three years is expected to be $78 million
with indications that expansions to the volumes anticipated in years two
and three could increase the revenue to about $123 million.
This estimate excludes the favourable price adjustments that are
anticipated to take place in years two and three with recovery in the
world economy.
Tantalum Australia rose 0.9c to 7.5c and touched 8c.
