"Well now, i guess the only plan left of transportation getting the ore bodies out of the ring economically is kwg's !!!"

However, one question remains now as regards to the N/S route: which and whose ore would travel on this route? Until another Major gets in, and another proven discovery is made (only Black Thor and Big Daddy'chromite do have this status at this time), I can't see who's gonna fill the place left by Cliffs... Noront will probably get back to its initial and prefered E/W plan... So? GLTA.
