i dont really know -they have to hit a moving targ
Post# of 8054
it takes planning and coordination w buyers as to what type of beneficiation they want and the particular demands of particular buyer furnaces- though pellets are much more uniform i believe and easier to match to a variety of furnaces.
given the long-term outlook for iron prices, unless Brad wants his huge concession empire to lie fruitless forever, he knows he will have to use some type of beneficiation- pellets or not- in this price environment- thats where the game is for middle players-
and most juniors cant play that game- but Brads empire is big enough to do so and thus compete w the big boys- especially w the big boys high over head/ high salaries/ high plant and railroad/port costs--
especially if Brad has continued a relationship w Bao- the only big Chinese steel producer that doesnt have its own domestic Chinese iron mines
Brad has spent many millions- maybe 20 million or more -could be much more -depends on how many in-holdings he bought outright from the surface landowner - creating the huge concession empire- so he's not just going to sit on his thumb- from the May 2013 PR I would estimate Brad has 10 million into CWRN alone
Re the dtc - I expected them - under pressure from Congress - to implement the due process of their own Nov 2013 whitepaper during the last election cycle but havent seen nor heard anything yet-hope Brad is following up on that w dtc approved lawyers
