Thanks for posting that update Rocket.
Notice:
1)The mineral area is the southernmost portion of the port-a straight shot from Hwy 1 to the port on a Hwy shown behind the mineral area. CWRN's mine is 55 miles S of Ensenada.

2)The Mexican Navy section of the port is right next to the bulk mineral area-for those who were concerned w security.

3)The official draft has been increased from 40 feet(indicated in pre-dredging port video-but may have filled in some prior to the dredging) to 14.5 meters(ca 48 feet),w navigation areas ca 16 meters.

So it is now truly a deepwater port(thanks to pesquero et. al.-his company was involved in the dredging)--it was before also but the best ports are upgrading from the previous 40' standard to what are expected to be new Panamax standards once the Panama canal is deepened-expected in 2014. The deepest port I've found on the West coast is Long Beach-recently deepened to 53 feet by extending the terminal further out.

CWRN's shipments don't go thru the canal but will probably be using Panamax ships(75000 dmt) beginning in second quarter(as per previous PR's etc).
