How can we be competitive? Might as well buy from Chile, Brazil, Thailand or wherever.
It's not that these miners don't want to build smelters, who can afford a smelter when one costs at least US$25 million? And why should all mines have smelters? Is Indonesia going to have 3,000 smelters for all 64 minerals then ' one for every mine?
