Agreed BTB,
Havieron is going to keep Telfer economical for the foreseeable future - they won't only be processing Havieron ore, they can blend it with the remaining lower grade and still probably reduce the AISC by half or more.
That means they will use less high grade and keep Telfer operational for a lot more than 10 years.
If Black Hills, Scallywag and PRE come up trumps (or even just one of them) then the sky is the limit.
Sandeep will be the toast of NCM - they need this as much, if not more than GGP. Timid highlighted a report by Macquarie the other day that has downgraded NCM's target SP from their current $30 to $23 because of concerns over their future cash spend and depletion of reserves.
It's little wonder they are going hammer & tongs at Havieron and I think they will be quite happy to play ball.
