There are so many iron ore projects. The question I ask is? How many of them are so close to prospective DRI plants in Asia, how many lie on the coast? How many of them involve extraction of unconsolidated beach sands with dredges? This is a project which lends itself to incremental scaling up. It is the type of project well suited to a minor, but a major would help. You don't need a major terminal. I would suggest offshore self-loading 8,000dwt barges would be adequate, loading into 20,000dwt vessels destined for Singapore, the Philippines or Malaysia. I would be surprised if the total capital cost is more than $20-30million. Of course you can start big and bring in a major partner. In this type of market a Chinese partner might be nice.
I think this stock is way under-valued so I expect as much.
