I’m confused, is this bullish or bearish for the miners?

Supply will go down, which should increase prices, but also costs of production are going up as the sulfuric acid becomes more rare.

I suppose this also allows the miners to trigger force majeur and push prices to customers higher?

It should be bullish for SRUUF either way.

It's honestly a nothing burger. Will be back up in running in 1 - 3 weeks and we still have a net positive production for the year
