All the transactions are carried out by KML (that is why we don't get any details on costs because there is a convenient screen between the GBG shareholders and KML).
KML carries the interest cost of the debt of $US1.9b.
So all the costs I am referring to are KML's costs.
So cost for magnetite is as per my assessment of $US96.85 per tonne.
Now Ansteel has guaranteed the whole debt of $US1.9b.
The shareholders of GBG said we would not allow GBG's assets to be guarantee for the $US1.9b debt.
But if KML went down the tubes GBG would lose their KML shareholding.
But GBG still has $39m to do this new venture which is being investigated now.
Hopefully that will restore the GBG share price.
Unless magnetite goes to $US120 per tonne I think we are pretty well stuffed.
At moment we are only getting 85c premium for magnetite, but the market says it should be around $US15 or maybe even $US20 premium.
The GBG board has not provided a cogent explanation why we only get 85c.
But also remember Ansteel owns 37% of GBG.
