There are some fundamental errors in your post .

GMM is not mining any lake. The GMM's tenements are around Lake Nuur. It is looking for bedded deposits.

Russia does not need potash from Mongolia. It is the world's second largest producer of potash and in a 2009 report, Russia exported 10mt of potash.

GBG's Karara Fe deposit is less than 200km to the south of Oakajee. Shoemaker is towards the east, more than 600km away. It appears to be isolated from the rest of the mid-west deposits, but a rail line could continue from Wiluna to Shoemaker.
