"a 12Mtpa production rate over three consecutive months in the June 2014 Quarter"
Nope, 2.9Mt dry for the full June Quarter - you don't get paid for water. It's very close to an annualised 12Mtpa, but its not quite there.
June Standard Fines Realised CFR Price USD/DMT = $74.15 (Table on page 4)
Average headline price of ~US$78/t CFR (DMT) received for Standard Fines (Key Points)
So Atlas made ~US$4/t
June Value Fines Realised CFR Price USD/DMT = $61.67 (Table on page 4)
Average ~US$63/t CFR (DMT) received for Value Fines (Key Points)
So Atlas made ~$1/t
Mt Webber's transport cost profile should be be higher than Wodgina, Pardoo, Abydos and Mt Dove. I can't see how Atlas can drop their 2015 FOB costs (C1) by a couple of dollars without a significant change in transport methodology.
There is nothing in the 2015 CAPEX forecast that would indicate that there will be any material change in transport methodology.
"Mt Webber Mine, a 10-year, 6Mt per annum operation"
Hmmm, Mt Webber Reserve is 54Mt. 10 years @ 6Mtpa = 60Mt.
