Not sure why you would expect answers to a whole series of ESI related questions on an MNM thread, maybe you should be asking cost related questions about MNM on an MNM thread.

Here is one, hard man suggested that the cost of producing a tonne of CHTD Coal was $55, any idea where this figure sprung from or is it imaginary.

Looking at the Loy Yang website, the infrastructure required to mine brown coal looks significant, what with
Coal Dredgers, Transport Conveyors, Raw Coal Bunkers, Overburden Stackers etc. any idea what costs are associated with getting the mine up and running before even starting with the Coal Beneficiation infrastructure, sizeable dollars there one would think?

Would these costs be incuded in the $55 per tonne to produce CHTD Coal?

Thanks in advance
