PMZ calandra fyi :) MINING RESOURCES On the resources front, you could smell the copper and gold dust over the roast pork at this industry feast. China's rising need for raw materials such as iron ore, alumina, copper, platinum, zinc and gold is leading some economists and miners to fear commodity prices will surge in coming years because of a lack of supply and because of poor or expensive shipping routes via sea to China. "I think you can expect that natural resources are at the top of their agenda," Huang Jichun, a retired deputy chairman of China Non-Ferrous Metals Corp., told me about the two leaders. A growing number of Canadian mining companies, including the feisty Pacific Minerals, are staking claims to mineralized tracts of China, Inner Mongolia and Mongolia in what appears to be a successful search for copper and gold. If some of their assays prove to be as successful as the enormous copper and gold discovery staked out by Canada's Ivanhoe Mines (IVN) in Mongolia's Gobi Desert, several Canadian miners will have the instant advantage of being connected to China by rail and highway.
