The obvious is location and logistics. We are on a island closer to Asian markets with a deep water channel (30 metres deep at low tide) lierally on our doorstep.
No need for rail, no need to negotiate access to rail.
Also while a lot of the tonnes will need beneficiation (although there is also DSO on the island), importantly apart from silica the nasty impurities like sulphur, phos and alumina are very low.
Yes, we will be doing a round of briefings soon now that we know what Irvine can deliver.
Cheers, Tony.
