I don't have time to look at it right now, but I think this could have been the limit with the exploration permit, for the purposes of specification shipments, etc. It would be unreasonable to assume that this is the actual production limit.

The original sentence goes:

Panamerican Minerals Ventures, dueña de la mina Guadalupe, que en el pasado reciente explotó el consorcio mexicano CEMEX- tiene en Eréndira al menos 250 hectáreas y espera una producción mensual de 70 mil toneladas métricas de hierro, mismas que exportará a China por el puerto de Ensenada.

I think there is a period missing after "mil" which, I think, is a shortened word for a thousand in Spanish. That is why Google translator ommitted it. Here is another translation (with the period) from http://translation.babylon.com/spanish/

... and expected a monthly production of 70 thousand metric tons of iron, which exported to China by the port of Ensenada.

The article is talking about CWRN exporting 70,000 DMT monthly.

The berth is only capable of handling HandyMax, (30-35k/dwt) it’s going to be dredged soon and should be ready by Jan or Feb for PanaMax,(70-75k/dwt) according to Bob
