Right now they are at bargain prices and eventually will rise to much higher levels. Inco has to do something to stem the hurting. Falconbridge is going gangbusters in the Raglan - and may even be planning to double production (so the rumour goes). Meanwhile, Inco is cooling its heals in Voisey - talk about a costly venture with no daylight. Big mines cost big money. Much of the cheap stuff has already been worked at. You will have to pay the price or get left behind. Any other scenario is deflationary and that will only last so long. Once companies begin to lose money on every pound of material they produce, the bleeding will eventually have to be stopped - unless they are subsidized by a government. These are long-term things. Don't bet the farm that this will change soon. Remember that in the long-run we're all dead.
