Mariner 78, Enjoyed your informative post. Generated a few questions for me and one comment. My son shipped for Interlake until this year, and they always closed the locks at Sue ST Marie?? on Jan 15 and opened them on April 1, if I remember correctly. If we are on either side, going to the other, that causes a problem. But if we use a north american company to handle our product will we use the ships, (assuming they were located on the seaway or the lakes), or just use the train directly to the processor?
Can we mine in winter months? Construction workers still function all winter. These aren't your everyday backhoes that they will use, and last nights freeze won't even give them a second thought. Transportation could be a problem.
I know this sounds very basic, but I haven't gotten an answer here yet; do we mine and ship bulk product like a coal mine, or is there some basic processing/sorting done at the mine site. A lot of difference in tonnage. My mining experience is limited to digging crawspaces under houses, and looking for fish bait in the back yard, so please be tollerant. THX LC
