- Palladium prices are forecasted to reach highs of $1,000/oz due to a supply deficit as demand has historically exceeded mine supply.
- Majority of palladium demand comes from the automobile sector where light vehicle production is expected to increase 4% annually through 2016.
- Constrained mine supply is unable to match growing demand, with over 80% of global mine supply coming from high-risk jurisdictions in Russia and South Africa.
- Only 6.3 million ounces of annual palladium production worldwide, and production from major producers Russia and South Africa has remained constrained.
- Palladium prices are forecasted to reach historical highs of up to $1,000/oz due to a supply deficit. Demand has historically exceeded mine supply and is expected to continue growing.
- Mine supply is constrained and unable to match rising demand. Over 80% of global mine supply comes from Russia and South Africa, which are high-risk jurisdictions.

China still down the curve on stainless steel use per capita, in quarter four through the

goods restrictions, plus an increase in
production costs for those

Outlook impact of the 20% ore export tax

Market bottom likely reached – current price uneconomic with levels expected to move
for many, insufficient to bring on supply back above $US20,000/t during

Limited supply of good quality sulphide concentrate for
