re GFRE
Jurgis, yes the harsh winter was mentioned in GFRE's press releases. I assume it may freeze the water of some wells and such impede production. I did find the chart from ICL interesting that shows bromide concentrations of different resources - chinese wells had very low concentrations of bromine, which may also mean high production costs.

GFRE stated selling prices of 3$/kg Bromine seems roughly inline with world market prices, so I am not sure why a chinese producer in China would have a large advantage - sure there are some transportation costs (hazardous good!) but would they be high enough to impede competition?

>>In essence then one has to think about GFRE as E&P with resources and resource replacement being an important part of the valuation.<<

Bingo!
