Rhenium compnay: That whole company is probably built on processing less than 5 tons on Rhenium per year, out of world production of 40-50 tons per year. About half of that 40 tons is from Chile, from maybe 2-3 mines. A labor strike at copper mines would shut that down. The Russians evidently have very little, this is one of the few metals where China is not a major producer, and the US Defense stockpile has none. And it is absolutely essential to making more efficent jet aircraft engines, so the price of oil is a major indirect driver. Oh, just to make it more romantic and James Bond like, the Russians have a possible source in the remote Kurlie islands. It's on top of an active volcano ;-) It's a wonderful world...
