Re: Recovery Rates "For KeMag NML will mine 76 MT per year to produce 22 MT of concentrate and pellets. The recovery rate is about 28.95% for KeMag."

See ADV's Kami PEA, https://alderonironore.com/_resources/kami/PEA_2011.pdf Table 16.3:
For the Kami Rose Central deposit, the model estimates 365,006 million tonnes of crude ore mined to produce 135,052 tonnes of concentrate. That's a recovery rate of 37%. Same 37% rate for the Kami Mills deposit.

We will see if these recovery rates hold for both companies' final feasibility studies (with expanded resources etc). But at the moment, Duade, I think it would be intellectually dishonest to assert that NML's taconite deposits are clearly superior to Kami. They are bigger, but they have much lower recovery rates.
