    Hi Greatone,

    when working out FMG’s profitability, you don’t simply minus the all in cost of production from the Iron Ore price.

    the reason for that is the $35 break even price includes the royalty, grade discount, moisture discount etc up to that $35 dollar level.

    what this means is that if their break even price is $35, and the Iron Ore price is $36, they don’t make $1 profit they make about $0.50 profit, because that additional $1 will be reduced by a 6% royalty, a grade discount, a moisture discount and some other taxes based on a percentage.

    over the years I have found the best way to estimate the profit of FMG per tonne is the following

    Iron Ore price - $35 break even price / 2

    eg. $90 price - $35 Break even = $55… $55 / 2 = $27.50 profit per tonne.
