ITMD' IHUB box 11-29-10 picture posting shows one of the 0-3mm mag separators-previous pics showed 3 of 4 superfine mag sep's stored next to the fuel depot,apparently just received at that time.
Since the superfines go by container and don't use a bulk cargo carrier(strictly defined)and presumably don't have to use the bulk dock being upgraded,its possible and perhaps necessary(if bulk carrier doesn't handle a mix of bulk cargo and container cargo)for superfines to be shipped separately,but no specific mention of this yet in PR's.
Meanwhile,PR says trucking begins 2 days after 3-18mm mag sep is in operation,possibly indicating they will begin trucking both iron sizes at same time-but would they use a different type of trucking for the bagged superfines?
PR's don't yet indicate different ships for the bagged vs bulk cargo.
Either way, whatever problems they encounter(and problems are par for any startup)they are forming an advisory board which will include mining engineers etc,which will aid in solving any problems.
Guess have to research handy cargo vessel to determine the configuration options.
Btw,and maybe I've forgotten why this is being ignored,the web site showed a large lay down yard for bulk materials(which until now have apparently been agricultural).
The videos by the port authority recently posted on this board indicate a new bulk loading area midterm 4 mi north of present port.
The rest of the Nov PR discusses as follows:
"The 3 by 18mm Fines will be shipped via Bulk Cargo Vessels and the 0 by 3mm Super Fines will be packed in Maxi Bags for container shipments of 8 bags maximum of 25 metric tons per 20-ft container, for Environmental Air Quality concerns and will begin before the end of November 2010. All "Guadalupe" Fines and Super Fines shall be sold on the China Seaborne Trade Spot Sales Market for the near future....
Other News: The Ensenada Port Authority is in the process of dredging its bulk cargo dock to receive PanaMax vessels up to 75,000 Down Weight Tons (DWT). The P.A. advised CWRN and PanAm both on Monday that the dredging project would be completed before the end of December 2010. The company will still make its first shipment via Handy cargo vessel at 30/35,000 DWT; However, beginning in January 2011 all bulk cargo shipments will be made via PanaMax at one or two shipments per month.
CWRN management has undertaken the selection process of a special "Advisory Board" that will be made up of Geo Science academia, Geologist, Mining Engineers, Geophysicist, Mining Law Attorneys, Environmental Specialist and other professionals within the Mexico Mining Sector. It is anticipated that the "Advisory Board" will be in place before the end of January 2011."
