IOC for sale by RIO For your info.
The existing small miners as well as the various projects, are already looking things over in the idea of solving their problems of rail shipping , (too expensive) and getting access to port storage yards and ship loaders ( IOC buys their product at the end of the railroad actually as it is under no obligation to offer storage and ship loading and then sells it to the client).
IOC Lab City is looking at an end to their electricity supply contract with Newfie Power in 2014. This could put the future of the pellet plant in doubt as I hear that the rate increase on the table at the moment is abusive.
A break up of IOC could result QNS&L is separated from the rest. Who would get the terminal and shiploading ?
A bidding war could result.
