Producing magnetite from BIF ?
It would be up around $150/tonne on ship if it worked well. Capital cost maybe $20 billion for mine, processing plant, water borefield, rail, rolling stock, stockyard, and port. If it didn't work you'd be looking at CITIC "don't talk about the costs" levels.
Expand
20 billion capital cost
25 billion wages maintenance running costs and sinking fund for replacing machinery only
5 billion royalties
-
50 billion / 925 million tonnes
= say $55 / tonne at present day value!
