it was never 12million, maybe when southern iron was up and going, MBR is more 7-8 million, i think MBR did push nearly 9million when it was running well in 2014.
The issue with loading from the fire and all the floods and the power outage has caused significant delays and days apon days of zero railing of ore. There is usually 7-8 trains per day, and with the fire issue for loading, its currently running around 3-4 trains MAX a day(going on for 4 weeks). Huge delays!!!. Power outage seen almost a week of trains all gone.
Also lose 1 train per day for blast furnace train, as they ran this once a day instead of pellets, this went for months and months (around 6 months), however it now runs maybe once a week and isn't a delay.
It will ramp up soon if not this week already, but that's a lot of catch up till June!
If they released the mining reports i think everyone would have a heart attack, so many bad luck scenarios have happened to SA this FY, it could of been a really successful year.
