|
The Mineral and Metal Policy Branch acts as the federal government's main source of in-depth knowledge, intelligence and expertise on mineral and metal commodity markets. One of its tasks is to forecast mineral and metal demand, supply and price. The Nonferrous division is responsible for the major base metals, the precious metals, certain associated minor by-products, and secondary materials such as scrap. This year-end annual publication disseminates metal market developments through the first three quarters of the year and provides forecasts for the next ten year.
