I think that I need to do a rethink....just read another article that tells me that the WORLD produces 25M tonnes per year and that the Australian production was roundabout 400k tonnes.

On the bright side the Skardon River project WA noted as being a $6B project, so it was up there and out there......but they had a market, but couldn't finalise the plant.
Poochero doesn't have the remoteness of Weipa with ready made ports at Pt Lincoln, Pt Augusta, Pt Pirie making export easy. Also the road trip to Adelaide ISN' too far away either.

Back to the drawing board and reference books for a little while.

Sorry
