Not quite. There is still a level of concern about trucking the ore (which in reality is a damp clay) some 70km to Condoblin and then trucking the even wetter leached clay residue 70km back to the mine site for dumping back into the hole. Clays are thixotropic. This means under vibration they turn into a consistency of toothpaste. Big issue if you transport above what is known as the transportable moisture limit. Many people have lost their lives in transporting nickel laterites by ship before this was fully understood.
