The size of AVZs resource would easy warrant and suck up the cost of an on / near site Chem plant. I did post on the Bermian threads some time ago regarding logic costs as at about the same time i was working on the coatings for movement of about 4mt over a period of about 9 months for an actual project , the logistic cost for Bermian on a 2000km round trip looked horrendous , the legal GCM (gross combined mass) on trucks in Mali certainly didnt help figures either at 56 tonne i think it was minus actual truck / trailer unit weight, payload was only around the 40 tonne fully loaded and the cost per litre for diesel in Mali was and still is 10% higher than world average and they burn about 110 litres per 100km on a decent road. Imagine trying to haul 2mtpa out by road trains considering a truck loading , travel , unloading and return cycle of about 4-6 days for 40 tonne of concentrate.
