IMO Madagascar has even bigger advantage than Brazil due to its large flakes ! so if brazilians can do it, ass Metals is even better positioned to produce and sell at least 50.000tpa and compete directly with the chinese (higher costs/rock deposits/fine-medium flakes). Historically the chinese had a labor cost advantage, but this advantage is eroding over time due to higher standards of living / tougher state regulated environmental standards.
