mak v poz you decide who will be the biggest, page-12

I think a lot of people on this thread do not seem to appreciate what the primary reason for beneficiation is. That is to UPGRADE the phosphate to 30% or more.
DSO does not need to be upgraded!
My understanding is that MAK will perform a simple crush/screening process.
When I last looked Legend were trying to prove that they also had a DSO resource. One would assume that DSO is a good thing to have.

A lot of people also seem to not appreciate that different phosphoric acid plants have different rock requirements (even if beneficiated) hence the sampling process.

These type of issues were being discussed on this thread when the discussion was on whether MAK would even have any DSO.

In my opinion the only issue to consider with regard to Wonarah is what the OPEX will be and will profitable sales be possible. And as we all know this is contingent on adequate RP prices.

The irony may well be that MAKs costs for producing DSO at the mine are lower than the cost of producing North African beneficiated rock but the mine to market costs are what make the project uneconomic.
