Really Funny Funny how someone on this board tells us that he doesn't own any shares of ADV, yet he is still posting on the ADV board. Here is some interesting dialogue from this individual....

I've already admitted ADV, if it reaches production, may only be worth $2.3 billion, as opposed to the $8 billion to $10 billion that Arcelor's Canadian operations are worth. This accounts for the larger total reserves, railway, etc.
I think it's fair to compare Kami to Mont Wright and Bloom Lake.
RPDs comments;
So KAMI can be compared to Bloom Lake. Here is the latest report from Cliffs on their overall operations in Eastern Canada. Note the reference to Bloom Lake. ADV is suggesting that they will somehow come in under $50 per tonne on a cost basis.
Cash cost per ton in Eastern Canadian Iron Ore was $106.06, up 21% from $87.37 in the year-ago quarter. The increase reflected higher cash costs at Wabush Mine of $132 per ton, up 25% from the prior year's comparable quarter, due to higher labor costs and increased spending related to maintenance and repairs. Additionally, third-quarter 2012 cash costs at Bloom Lake Mine were $88 per ton, up 18% from the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher fuel, contract labor, and maintenance and supply costs. Cliffs indicated Bloom Lake Mine's cash costs per ton have improved over second-quarter 2012 results primarily due to increased production throughput rates at the mine.

Yeah, Cliffs is getting slaughtered. They are screwing up at Bloom Lake.
Fortunately, ADV has Tayfun Eldem, who ran the very profitable operations at IOC, as its CEO. He has the experience to keep costs under control.When it is released, will be happy to compare Kami's feasibility study numbers with any other iron ore project in Canada.
RPDs comments:
Yes Tayfun Eldmem is so brilliant that he is going to be able to somehow contol all the costs in the Labradour Trough. Very simple. And this coming from someone who has no interest or shares in ADV..
