IMX Resources Cairn Hill Project
South Australian Port Options
Adelaide
Status
Can commence shipping within 3 months. Container crane rotary tipplers & hard stand area for storage required. No capital cost outlay to IMX.
Capacity
Vessels up to 75,000t possible.
Indications of up to 3mtpa capacity available at container berths
Costs
Rail - current quote A$22.50 /t rail – indications from alternative supplier that this could be reduced to around A$19 / t
Port – current quote for A$10.50 / t for handling and loading ships
Port Pirie
Status
Could commence within 5 months. Would require a low cost enclosed hopper shed and fixed point shiploader – previous design and costs indicates about A$0.5m for 1500tph ship loader, shed, hopper and feeder likely to be in the order of A$0.5-1m.
Capacity
The maximum size vessel that Pt Pirie can handle is 30,000t, the channel into the port has a beam restriction of 30m as well as depth constraints.
There are no limitations on the port capacity, only used by Nystar for lead concentrate imports and Perilya for Zinc concentrate exports
Costs
Rail – previous indications A$14 / t using bottom dump, probably add A$1.50 / t if using containers rather than bottom dump wagons
Port – previous indications suggest around $5 / t all up including handling
Comments
Pt Pirie would be idea for a shuttle shipping operation using 20,000t self discharging ships to say Pt Latta – only about 12 hours sailing. Other option is to barge and load into panamax or cape size vessels, but an expensive option.
Port Bonython
Status
Feasibility study ready to be presented to government – indicates port is viable. Approvals & construction time estimated at 3 years.
Estimated cost to build common user shiploader and sheds for customers A$300-400m. Limited capital cost outlay to IMX possible.
Same port operator as Adelaide & Pt Pirie, will be common user.
Capacity
Pt Bonython will handle cape vessels up to 180,000t.
Initial port capacity likely to be around 15mtpa but will be expandable
Costs
Rail – previous indications A$14 / t using bottom dump.
Port – likely to be in the A$5-6 /t range depending on what capital IMX puts up for things like sheds.
Comments
Pt Bonython is the longer term solution for bulk tonnages. Has the advantage of being a greenfield site, & is not located close to a town.
Having the same port operator as Adelaide and Pt Pirie would be ideal to move operations once the port is complete.
