BINGO - ROAD TRAIN ( 200 tonnes )

BINGO - ROAD TRAIN ( 200 tonnes ) White Pass rail system services ( Skagway to Whitehorse )
From Haines Junction Yukon to Stoney Creek to Whitehores ( pass ) no rail.
Wellgreen runs the other Y road HWY # 1 opposite side of, Whitehorse.

Ivanhoe mines in, Africa
90 per cent of Kamoa-Kakula‘s concentrates in 2023 were exported through
Durban and Dar es Salaam, entailing a round trip of 40-50 days, the
shipment arrived at the Lobito port in just eight days.

Near 50 days down to, 8 days.
Shipping concentrates.
Still.... 8 days.

WELLGREEN DEPOSIT
Quill Creek is approx 1/4 day away from - Skagway

Stop and think about this.
And how long Wellgreen has sat idle.

Australia devised their own road train.

Typical trasport hauling not  one but.... 3 reefers.

VOLVO
comes along and designs their own road train.
197 long tonne weight of, rig.
Impressive 200 tonne load capacity.

Let's envision,
Several road trains - you now have your own train.
4 reefers ( 2 for magnesium,  1 iron, 1 mix concentrates )
Pull nobles out.

4 x less diesel costs
4 x less carbon
4 x more efficient

15 - TONNE SOLUTION x 1000 LOTS

I took another peek at, 1989 Wellgreen pfs

Ongoing problem ?
the UG mine was not included in, report.

Considerable tonnage UG mine.
( 1989 report ) Additional 10 years added to the 13 yr mine life.
= 23 yrs

$18 / t cost to mine / 1989
$17 / t cost to mine / 2023

Enough sense to make a matte onsite
= over $700 million yr net

But.... perhaps the - road trains - are the ideal solution for, Wellgreen.
Outfit with - solid rubber tires to assist weight.
Special treads for winter.



1995 Assessment - pg 74
Reserves released in l 989 and the deposit also contains significant amounts of
rhodium. iridium. osmium and gold. Property optioned in 1994 to J.P. Sheridan and
Norther Platinum.

Road Trains....
Brilliant Concept.
Would certainly improve the economics running cons.
Making another who buys the cons, ultra rich....lol

A superb solution for HWY # 1 when, Skagway to Whitehorse
and Casino project = favored.

Wellgreen utilizing Road Train's would be like,
middle finger to, whitepass rail - lol.
We'll devise our own rail on wheels.
Tease.


Cheers...
