here's a reply from AD RE: trucking the 2million tonnes to Tennant Creek..........
"Thanks for the query. All early days of course, but you have probably seen that we have now appointed independent study managers. Minemakers preliminary trucking enquiries indicate that a prime mover and multiple trailers in a road train should be able to take 100 t per trip. It is the ability to move tonnage that is capping our current thinking of 2-3Mt annual capacity limit.
As we have advised other shareholders, an alternative is to consider a rail link as that would remove that tonnage limitation, but that is a very high capital route and the Company is going for a low capital development. If someone (?government) wants to build a Tennant Creek/ Mt Isa rail link one day, we would probably prefer to use it as it should lower operating costs but it is all talk beyond Minemakers at present.
Cheers
