    Last U.S. Lead Producer to close doors?

    Does anyone know of the validity of the following website?

    "http://investmentwatchblog.com/gov-targets-ammo-supply-lines-prices-to-rise-sharply-as-americas-last-lead-supplier-calls-it-quits/"

    It seems the EPA has found a way to close Doe Run, which is the last of America’s domestic lead processing and manufacturing facilities.

    This is very old news. Has been on here for months. And the announcement was made a couple years ago.

    There is enough lead by recycler plants to keep the supply flowing. And Doe Run is talking about building another modern plant. And most of the lead WW's today come from China anyway! Just like everything else. Those will/are going away due to EPA. Better get used to PAYING for your lead!
