Hard to get too far ahead of the infrastructure. It would cost 500 million to build a mine and a facility to make spodumene concentrate. How do they service any debt if the bridge is delayed a year or two. (It has been literally decades in planning).
Simple... just have about 800 trucks gassed up and ready to go the minute the winter road opens up. Then drive like hell for 2 to 6 weeks until it's closed again. What could possibly go wrong?
Joking, of course.
I remember, back in the day, there were thoughts of using the road to ship DSO during the winter period in order to begin generating some revenue,s but I can't imagine that would be economically viable. Nor do I think it would make any friends among the local population, given the short span during which the winter road operates and how vital it is to them.
I was just saying to a buddy that we should take some time and head out with a couple of shovels and some bug dope... get that road rolling. Who's with me?!?
