I see a lot of wrong assumptions in the original post, here is a link to a released Pre-feasibility Study for the Kamistiatusset (Kami) Iron Ore project. It was released last year by CIA who operate in the same jurisdiction. Its based on 8Mtpa.

I would strongly recommend anyone interested in CLE to read this study to get a realistic expectation.
I think 20mtpa is the best case PFS scenario simply due to the amount of ore required to move for a 29% head grade resource.
The NPV will be greatly impacted by required ramp up time.

I do acknowledge with scale it will greatly improve, but I don't think its going to be anywhere near what many expect on here.
Its unlikely CLE will be able to fund its CAPEX share and I can't see Vale providing a loan for the CAPEX as a buyout is a better outcome for them.
That's if the project is even economical and they commit the additional funding after phase 1.

In the case of CLE retaining the 25% share at DTM, Vale WILL carry them. Vale will stump up the CAPEX and CLE's share will be repaid out of future profits. This has been stated in previous announcements. The contract is written so that Vale buys out CLE at reasonable value after the DTM. In case this sum impacts on the ability of Vale to provide CAPEX and buy out CLE at the same time, then the continued JV will endure.
