I see only 3 possibilities: 1. Best on site, but to build the mine some kind of transportation to the site has to be extablished first, rail or all year road. So sequential time factor is also a problem. 2. Nakina because the rail line is already present so no delay with mine construction but ends up with all the raw ore being transported to Nakina. 3. Timmins because almost all the pieces are in place. I am assuming that Timmins has enough electrical capacity, having an existing smelter already there. I think that chromite requires more electricity that copper or nickel smelting, probably closer to aluminum smelting - a very electricity intensive process. Last of the 3 because of the transportation costs for raw ore. The remaining sites I personally do not give much consideration. I have a question re. rail line transportation costs. Shortest distance seems to be to Thunder Bay and Sudbury the longest but the costs quoted do not correspond - Why? Ed G.
