Yep. That's an option.
Hovercrafts, roads, rails, blimps, boats, slurry pipes....they are all options.
I f I remember correctly from the AGM the strategy is to look at ALL possible options of transporting the goods. I also remember some pretty interesting (I would even say odd) methods that they were going to explore.
I like it. As a business owner I personally love seeing innovative ideas being put into action. Break the mold and be a leader. I was pleased to see that they are not married to any ideas without extensive research.
Not to dismiss our FWR fans on here - but as proud as they are of their staked claims and railroad speak, I will assume that they have similarly explored all viable options of moving ore. This is unconventinal landscape - it may take some unconventional thinking.
