"The conditional tense in English grammar is used to express hypothetical or uncertain situations, typically using the word "if" and indicating what would happen under a certain condition"

Learn Grammar, or keep quiet about Grammar.

Key points about the conditional tense:
  • Structure:
    Most conditional sentences follow the pattern "if + subject + verb (in a specific tense) + , + subject + would + verb". 
  • Types of conditionals:
    There are different types of conditional sentences, including the zero conditional (general truths), first conditional (likely future scenarios), second conditional (hypothetical situations), and third conditional (impossible past situations). 
Example sentences:
  • Zero conditional: "If you heat water, it boils." 
  • First conditional: "If I study hard, I will pass the test." 
  • Second conditional: "If I had wings, I would fly." 
  • Third conditional: "If I had known you were coming, I would have baked a cake."

Mining companies can gear up inside of 10-15 days to produce it.

"Concerns about a trade war between the US and China and over-reliance on one supplier are driving efforts for supply chain diversification in western countries. The US already charges a 25pc duty on imported Chinese tungsten products. This could escalate under president-elect Donald Trump, who proposed tariffs of up to 60pc on imports from China during his campaign. Notably, China accounts for over 80pc of global tungsten production. Initiatives to diversify sources are under way, such as the Sangdong mine in South Korea, which is expected on line next year. In the US, the Department of Defense is providing funding opportunities for the development of domestic mining. At the moment, Guardian Metals in Nevada is the only project that could come into production in the US in the next three years."

Three years is how long - for the MOST ready U.S. source. The others would take considerably longer. 

10-15 days, 3 years - hey, close enough for idiot work. :)

This thread is about production, not reserves. So, first of all, your first of all is not a first of all. It's not an of all at all.

Nope. First.

MAYBE.

Let's read on.

From your link:

"In June of 2017, Northcliff announced positive results from the federal environmental assessment that Sisson submitted in 2013. They received provincial approval in 2015. This significant milestone has been years in the making. Everyone involved is eager to move onto the next steps leading to production."

The good news: they started the process of actually PRODUCING tungsten 12 years ago. That's when the first millions were spent. Four years later (7 years ago), they cleared a major hurdle.

The BAD news:, they started the process of actually PRODUCING tungsten 12 years ago. That's when the first millions were spent. Four years later (7 years ago), they cleared a major hurdle.

Let's say that this mine can produced half of America's needs. That's a GIFT - your link is silent on the issue. We are an easy decade out on fulfilling on the other half. And this mine that's gonna save us? When will it be ready? Oh, brother - who the **** knows? From your link:

"After Sisson has a sense of how its permitting and off taker engagement is going, the company can approach banks and lending institutions. “The markets have obviously changed,” Zahovskis said, referring to the markets when they first submitted the environmental assessment in 2013. “We are at a point where we need to find clarity in terms of where the market is going before we can make any firm decisions on commitment for timing.”"

There is not even a firm commitment to BUILD the mine, at this point. And when that firm commitment DOES come together? What then? Again, from your link:

"After the permitting, contracts, finances and partnership paperwork are out of the way, construction can finally begin at the Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Project. Construction will be a two-year build." We're NOT YET at the two years out mark - not by a long shot. We are WORKING toward a two year window for the build. How long it will take to begin reliable production is anyone's guess. My tungsten production expertise is limited to hasty googles. Where I DO have some expertise is in calling **** - and I am calling it on your first of all, and I am calling it on your second.

Now, let's have a look at your turd.

No one said it was rare - in the ground. It's just rare above ground. I don't think you watched the video. It's only eight minutes. You really should have watched it BEFORE commenting.

Yeah... no.

That's not what just happened. What just happened is old skans commented on a video old skans didn't watch.
I don't deny that.  I respond to what you or others write.  If you can't write.  If you can't summarize what YOU saw or what YOU found interesting in a video, then that's on you, not me.  BV does the same thing - posts click-bait hoping people will click on it and comment.  I don't roll that way.  But, thanks for your thoughtful response. Still, Tungsten is not rare and there are many options from where we can import or mine Tungsten.  No one is beholden to Russia for Tungsten supply.

what intellectual minds think of any ancestral brain navigating space uniquely live as eternally separated in plain sight.

natural threat among people agreeing to disagree now is eternity united by treaties life isn't self evident geo-graphically here ancestrally achieved in plain sight, so far.

Compare who you think you been after birth against what you been since conceived. golly factually you only existed since day of birth, when your body arrived a fertilize cell 0-9 months before your birthday..

Jesus didn't have a red button in a suitcase while here on earth.  If he had, he would have used it. Probably first on the money changers in the Temple.  Then, on again on the Romans.

Russia has about the same known tungsten reserves that we have - so, no. No one is beholden to Russia for tungsten supply. Given Russia's industrial surge to feed the war machine, I am reasonably confident that it's a net importer of the stuff. 

China has 80% of the world's known reserves - so that could be a different situation. Especially since they have apparently added it to their banned substances list. 

But even with less than 5% of known global reserves, the U.S. is far from a shortage of tungsten. 5% of global reserves is an enormous amount of tungsten - more tungsten than every country on earth except a few. 

The problem isn't reserves. The problem is production. We currently produce none. 

If everything went without a single hiccup, there is one mine in Nevada that could begin producing tungsten three years from today. 

As of 2022, the US had 6,850 metric tons of tungsten in its stockpiles. 
The United States consumes around 11,400 metric tons of tungsten annually, and this number is increasing.
Canada produces about 2,128 metric tons of tungsten concentrate each year. 
Bolivia produces around 1,600 metric tons of tungsten per year.
Germany produces less than 10,000 metric tons annually. 

I think you can see the problem. If we lose supply, we're ****. Canada is no closer to upping its production than the U.S. is. In fact, they are more than three years out from opening a new tungsten mine. 

The great news for the U.S. are these:
1. Our tungsten supply chain is quite diverse. China is a significant exporter to the US, but other suppliers are spain and portugal and bolivia and thailand and canada and mongolia and portugal and korea and germany and several others. 
2. The US has the economic strength to outbid other nations for available supplies - especially in the military sector, since the pentagon prints that ****. 

The bad news are these: 
1. Chyna has the local muscle to lock us out of mongolia and thailand. And it is rapidly gaining that strength in bolivia, which was recently admitted to brics. Bolivia has no history of being abused by chyna, and a new beau is the loveliest beau, especially when the old beau was abusive and the new beau brings flowers. 
2. As the turd world RAPIDLY increases its already rapid industrialization because of the brics cooperation, competition for tungsten is sure to increase. The increased competition, combined with an embargo by the chinee and its sympathizers/vassals/favor-seekers, could make already high U.S. production costs impossible for everyone but military contractors. 

The other news are these: 
1. The increased competition for tungsten will naturally and automatically cause an increase in supply.
2. Energy prices in the E.U., if they continue to use american gas, will likely free up a small amount of tungsten as Europe de-industrializes. Germany is - or was, anyway - the economic and industrial engine that drove the E.U. It has high resource costs, as it imports almost EVERYTHING, and it has high labor costs. But it had cheap energy and brilliant engineers. Those were its trump card. So it was able to be a major exporter of manufactured items. Since the loss of Russian gas, Germany has become the sick man of Europe.

I've been digging into this, and it turns out that chyna is the biggest IMPORTER of tungsten in the world. The USA is the second biggest. Russia is also a net importer, ranking #15.

So... their embargo is a net null. 

That is not to say they have not exported tungsten to the U.S. They have. But at the same time they were exporting it to us, they were buying it up otherwhere. And they were never our number one source, and our supply chain for tungsten is extremely diverse. 

If there IS a run on tungsten and we DO find ourselves with our hats in our hands, it won't be because we overplayed our hand with chyna. We were already tariffing their tungsten before trump took office.

https://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-office ... concluding
WASHINGTON – The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) today announced tariff increases under Section 301 for imports from the People’s Republic of China of certain tungsten products, wafers, and polysilicon. The rates for solar wafers and polysilicon will increase to 50 percent, and the rates for certain tungsten products will increase to 25 percent. These tariff increases will take effect on January 1, 2025.
 
“The tariff increases announced today will further blunt the harmful policies and practices by the People’s Republic of China. These actions will complement the domestic investments made under the Biden-Harris Administration to promote a clean energy economy, while increasing the resilience of critical supply chains,” said Ambassador Katherine Tai.
