Hi Soulbrother,
Thanks for your questions. Your interest is appreciated.
-- give an indication of the production cost per tonne of extracting bauxite to shipping status?
This is a basic outline of how we generally model open pit mine production costs:
Royalties
Plant Labour Cost
Fuel Cost (mining - transport & handling)
Power Cost (mining - transport & handling)
Explosives and Consumable Cost
Maintenance and Sustaining Capital
Rail Cost
Port Cost
I have reviewed this against what BAU is proposing in the South Darling Range. Being a lone operator with small output will have poor economies of scale, so a lot higher production cost than Alcoa (Huntly and Willowdale) and BHP (Worsley).
Hard to put a figure on it; however, I would say something around US$12/t FOB at today's rates. The rate will vary dependant on fuel costs. Production costs have gone up about 50% in the last five years due to the increase in fuel costs.
-- why (Chalco) invest in Australia if you could have invested next door in Vietnam?
Chalco has invested in VietNam.
Chalco has signed an agreement with Vinacomin to invest in a project to develop bauxite deposits in Dak Nong Province and to construct a 1.9 Mt/yr alumina refinery.
