1. Primary lead smelting has moved from the West to China 2. Primary lead demand is fueled by “new” uses -primarily vehicle growth as
new vehicles need new lead 3. Lead recycling is essentially a closed loop and cannot address growth 4. Forecast mined lead output will not keep pace with new lead demand
resulting in supply deficits 5. Very little new mine production is coming on-stream post 2010 6. Combination of limited lead concentrate availability and excess smelting
capacity in China will increase competition for concentrates and keep TC’s low
7. So will primary lead production survive in the recycling era? Unequivocally YES!

Conclusions
Mineral Exploitation will Continue at an Exponential Rate
Lower Grade Ores and Wastes will become more Valuable
Developed Countries are Exporting their Pollution
Middle Income Countries are Incentivized to Lower Standards to Attract Business
Poor Countries are Desperate to Undertake Severe and Dangerous Practices to Mine and Recover Wastes

Last Word
The Prognosis is for Evermore Horrific Mining and Informal Recycling Related Environmental Health Catastrophes in Poor Countries
Middle Income Countries will Face Increasing Pressure to Compromise their Health, Environment and Worker Protection to Attract Mineral Processing Business
Developed Countries will Export their Environmental Health Problems to Avoid Compliance Costs and Lower Commodity Prices
