Lower Freight Rates Boost Western Lead Producers
The Salt Lake Mining Review reports freight rate cuts on crude lead bullion from $22 to $16.50 per ton for Atlantic refineries. The measure, plus a tariff shift to 1% cents a pound, could raise market prices by about $12.60 per ton and miners’ ore values by roughly $9 per ton for 50 percent lead ore. If railroads reduce haul costs and smelters cooperate, the western mining districts in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and beyond may revive after years of closures and cutbacks.
