Market Outlook for the Commodities
The prices of the base metals have witnessed heightened volatility amid the rising tensions between the United States as well as China. Because of the same reason, the prices have also witnessed a downtrend. However, the prices are still higher than those which were assumed by the Feasibility Study done by Heron in 2016. The company views that the fall in the prices of Zinc might also lead to a fall in the new projects. The financing of these projects is expected to be a bit of an issue.
However, Heron Resources has an optimistic outlook considering the long-term horizon in regard to lead, copper as well as zinc which would help Heronâs Woodlawn mine.
