    @noomxx Sounds a bit high to me.

    I have All-in operating costs of $10B AUD, and shipped 182 MT
    So that would be $10B/182MT = ~$55AUD/t break even

    @ 0.72 AUD/exchange rate that's ~$40USD/t - ASIC (all-in sustaining cost)

    As you state, one other important factor is FMG is 58% fe, which is a lower grade.
    So it's realised price is usually 15-20% lower than spot price.

    FMG break even = $46usd/t

    For comps...
    RIO - $26 usd/t ASIC
    BHP - $32 usd/t ASIC
    VALE - $32 usd/t ASIC

    Here's a nice list, dated 2018, I used figures from latest 2021 annual reports, but still fairly relevant...

    The 4 majors control ~80% of world seaborne IO.
