Guinness Book of Records
The 31 km (19.3 mile) flight of the 51 km (31.6 mile) conveyor belt system between Mt Saddleback mine and Worsley refinery near Collie, Western Australia, is the longest single conveyor belt in the world. It is used to transport 2,700 tonnes (5.95 million lb) bauxite ore - from which aluminium is extracted - every hour, and travels at 26 km/h (16 mph). It was opened in 1983, and has 22 tunnels and 10 bridges along its length.

Does it snow in Australia? Add another 50million-? to the capex for the conveyor, excluding maintenance, and two man camps. One camp at the mine and the other camp at the mill. Ask the proponent and post their response. Thank you.
