distance of wonarah to a port = higher opex, lower profit margins. using the wet process or just producing phosphate rock, then yes the transport issue is a concern.
however, if one is producing SSP with the IHP process at half the operating cost, then the transport issue really isnt a major problem; when profit margins are > 150%.
Of course, after years of production, a rail line will be built from tennant creek lowering opex. along with other enhancements.
From memory i think the trucking of ore from Wonarah to Tennant creek was $50 per tonne.. at $1000 per tonne of SSP, this is only 5% of margin costs.
thoughts?
