1. 9th most profitable mine 2. Owned 60% BHP : 40% Anglo 3. Great commodity 4. Beautiful geology and stripping ratio = cheap and profitable to mine 5. Comparison to OMH maganese is great commodity if it can be easily stripped and shipped 6. Existing infrasture from the neighbours 7. Shallow water is no Aboriginal Mining rights
However, there is a little island that the ALC will most likely give their blessing. This is very bullish.
