Ha ! Next Tobin will be dictating who Inco's partner will be to develop the deposit or they will be forced to get the hell out of the province. Sound familiar. Tobin would make a fine leader for Indonesia. He could change his name to Suhartobin. (LOL) They are not able to get a deal with Inco so they try brokering one with a suitor.

There are predictions of an eight month disruption to normal Zambian cobalt production because of a large fire at the Indeni refinery. See Financial Times 5-27-99. Could Inco Voisey Bay or Ikar Minerals produce the cobalt? Ikar claimed to have 23000 tonnes of cobalt ore in news release of March 6, 1998. Another firm, Colossal Resources, failed to refine much cobalt from Zambian copper slag due to electric arc furnace problems a while ago, so seemed like a swindle of sorts. Sudden low cobalt prices were partially a legitimate factor in things though, at the time.
