PORTS, RAILS - ROAD TRAIN IDEASIn
2020 US Pres Trump gave te green light to,
$22-billion railway linking Alberta and Alaska 
Several years have passed,
and tis rail project linking Alberta to Alaska has simmered out.
No tracks laid.

Yukon's - Western Copper and Gold - Casino project Gold mining with copper, moly concentrate.
2-3 millions ounces of gold - inferred bout same. (
5 - 6 million oz ) approx
Is Western
mixing GOLD with in a concentrate ?
No.... they pull the gold. Did Western erase majority of inferred resource ?
( No ) lol
Did Western bump up their cut off x ing mass tonnage ?
No.
So what's up with Wellgreen's project mixing plat group with - con's ? Running with nickel and tweaking the cutoffs ?
Perhaps well over
7 million 3PGE ounces but left in cons ?
Upto 40% nobles cling to magnetic iron ore ?
Always promised in reports they'd work on better PGE recoveries
never following through ?
Certainly would affect the stock value.
No iron credit ?
No magnesium credit ?
No exotics ?
Just a quick comparison between Wellgreen and Casino.
Any wonder why our pfs is a shh show - should be retracted.

If BC had any sense,
they expand the Dease Lake Rail in, Yukon then into, Alaska.
Far sorter distance better economics.
Connect Stewart BC with ore port.
Just performed a quick search - interesting https://ckpgtoday.ca/2022/07/27/opposition-eyes-dease-lake-rail-line/

Skagway seems to be the location of, choice for rail and ore port.
Question becomes, Would the
Casino project hog the rail line along with, tourism ?
Chances are - yes. Older rail system.
Slow moving.
Rail Tours taking much of rail time.
Casino project, would prob utilize the Whitehorse rail yard.

Developer eyes private property in Haines, Skagway’s ore loader
By
Guest Contributor|March 10th, 2023 Wants to buy ore loader
relocate to a new area, new port.
https://skagwaynews.com/2023/03/10/developer-eyes-private-property-in-haines-skagways-ore-loader/ Anything new pertaining to Haines Borough port ?
Ahh, yes....fresh off the press 2024 Unauthorized $10M steel purchase for Haines dock provokes borough political crisis

My own thoughts ? To hell with the rail, let Crown ( england ) along with Rio Tinto ( same )
= Casino project have it.
Makes one wonder how many magnate billionaires have ties to, England. ( Crown )
More i research - seems all roads lead to, England. lol
One big family, same players with media mascott billionaires.... investors follow.
Same names involved with same miner.
Whose making the real money...ha.
ROAD TRAIN
holds more promise.
at least i think so...
= no dependency
Every 15 tonnes
Pull nobles keep separate
1 iron tonne -
2 magnesium tonnes
1 mixed con with magnetite 437 million tonnes ~ 15 tonne processing
=
29,133,333 ( lots of 15 group tonnes )
~ 20 mining yrs
= 1,456,666 ( lots of 15 group tonnes ) ~ 350 work days
=
4,161 ( lots of 15 group tonnes ) 62, 415 t / day 4,161 con tonnes ~ each road train can handle 200 tonnes ( 10 road trains = 2,000 t )
2 trips per day to port / Skagway or....maybe Hainse Borough AK
Very doable !
Are their ore trailers that can handle -
100 / tonnes ? YES https://sttrailer.en.made-in-china.com/product/eOZaxJITInfz/China-Iron-Ore-Gravel-Ore-Transportation-5-Axle-6-Axis-80t-100t-Dump-Semi-Trailer.html $18 thousand ( each )
Order 40 ( modified to gang link 4 )
= 10 road trains ( 200/t each ) 10 at mine
10 at port 2 round trips in one day
= 4,000/t per day cons Trucks drop off ores and pick up empty trailers
Repeat.
If 100/t capacity each ? Would only need 10 road trains (
400/t per road train )
5 at mine 5 at 5 port - alternating
Now one could consider Anchorage Port - long hauling. Near
$150,000 per road train metal payable cons.
What do ore trailers cost ? 20 trailers @
$18k = $
360,000 usd
10 trailers x $18/k ( 100/t capacity )
= $180/k https://sttrailer.en.made-in-china.com/product/eOZaxJITInfz/China-Iron-Ore-Gravel-Ore-Transportation-5-Axle-6-Axis-80t-100t-Dump-Semi-Trailer.html Lease each volvo transport
= saving instead of buying fleet
Pit Ore haul truckss
Less mine hail trucks in pits - with mine model above - less ores per day = savings
PFS said over $2 billion for start up ?
Nah..... super inflated pfs
Under inflated on actual minerals.
Casino project is super Duper inflated.
$3+ billion start up.
More and more miners create ways to keep profits
with in mine costs, management wages....etc.
= less for investor.
