Interesting comment about the realistic mining timelines. With the railway still a few years away, 2015 is probably a realistic deadline. A few companies in the region suggesting 2012-2013 mining dates for dso. Is this unrealistic, can dso be trucked to port economically?
With a 30 year mine life at 10 Mtpa, this will use up about 600 Mt of iron ore after benefication. If they get a resource around 2.5billion tonnes, what happens to the mine life and the rest of the ore? Can they only mine.a small portion of Mt Forrest?
