They have conducted a close appraisal of information from a wide variety of sources, including governments, trade associations, company sources, official organisations, trade journals and technical literature.
Information gathering is only the first step in preparing a report.
Also includes a breakdown of the vanadium reserve base by country. Production of vanadium 3. Recent developments and new mining projects are detailed, and the outlook given for supply. This section follows consumption trends from 1969 to 1999, and covers demand in Western Europe, North America, Japan and Eastern Bloc. Also examines supply and demand balance with figures from 1974 to 1998.
