PAYLOADS - Road Train = 4 reefers x 50 tonnes per reefer
= 200 tonnes
Pull the nobles
= Premium $$$
Quad Reefer # 1
200 t of magnetite x $250 / t
= $ 50,000 usd ( payload )
Quad Reefer # 2
200 t magnesium x $350 / t
= $70,000 usd payload
Bulk Con - with $250 / magnetite 60% ( $360 / t ) maybe $400 / t multiminerals
200 t bulk con x $360 / t
= $72,000 usd payload
Cost factor
- driver
- diesel fuel
= $600 per payload + $400 return ? ( 1 round trip )
= $1,000 ?
If my figures are at all accurate
= cha ching !
Online figures show 60% magnetite
$250 / t
90% magnetite or greater would command far more
90% = $370 / t
200 t x $370
= $74,000 payload
Crunching numbers...
Why not.
Better ideas than hired eng firm...lol
