All systems go for chromite conference

A strong focus on shipping, power and Chinese growth will top the agenda at the Chromite Conference to be held on July 5-6 at the Hilton Hotel in Sandton. “The future of chrome is obviously of tantamount importance to all those involved in stainless steel chromium chemicals, foundry and refractory products,” according to the organisers. “This means that the logistics and sourcing of this important industrial mineral will be a major discussion point of this year’s conference.” The supply chain and its impact on domestic producers and international consumers is one of the logistics themes that will be explored by Cleopatra Shiceka, general manager in the office of the chief executive of Transnet.
