RE: Morgan Stanley Infra wins in MinRes’ $1b pit-to-port haul road auction7 Jun 2024 14:17
@normbeef. Need to appreciate key to mining bulk commodities in the Pilbara is port allocation (I have mentioned this several times to you). No point mining if you can't get your product on the seaborne market.
Fenix had agreement with Geraldton Port in May 2019. Geraldton was an underutilised port.
Our allocation starts Q4 this year.
Also with Fenix have to factor that they bought an existing resource from Atlas Iron, then upgraded it.
So they never transitioned from explorer to developer to producer.
They went from developer to producer.
Anyways regarding port allocation, this is why it is game changing news for UFO's West Pilbara Hub (with Brockman est exploration target 233Mt), now that MinRes successfully started operations at Onslow.
