Pioupiou I interpret what you say on the face of things is you believe the global need for high quality blended iron ore (such as RIO’s world class Pilbara Blend) will never diminish and therefore, NRW might look at expanding its’ service offering into beneficiation (Beneficiation basically being value-adding first stage on site mineral extraction/separation/combination that happens across most mines, iron or not )
(For anyone curious here’s what Downer offers in this regard https://www.downergroup.com/Content...our_Iron_Ore_Beneficiation_072017_01_LRes.pdf)
..... and that providing electricity and laying pipelines are obvious requirements to do with beneficiation ?

As with the railway delivery use of mechanised smart technology is clearly the way of the future and I feel sure that if BRW feels there is potential for the conoany in this direction they will target it.
Assuming they are working closely with RIO on Kooaideri which has stated it is using the latest methods for everything and has already updated its beneficiation methods at a bauxite mine in Weipa ( as I remember) I believe they are party to the most advanced nethods of all aspects of mining.

For anyone interested in other advancing technologies to do with infrastructure here is a link to a video I found interesting .
There is an Australian company, SDA at the end



And for purposes of infrastructure company comparison the MND annual report was published today ...

Hope everyone has a great day
