The Challenge
Transporting cargo to
a suitable port and
onto a ship.
• Iron Ore – Low value, large parcels,
prefer deep water.
• Mineral sands, copper concentrates,
zinc – high value, smaller parcels – don’t
require deep water.

Chinese & Indian Iron Ore Consumption & Production
Growing Chinese & Indian iron ore consumption will continue to drive a demand/supply imbalance in seaborne iron ore as China will increasingly rely on imports and India will divert its seaborne iron ore supply towards domestic use. “
“
Chinese Forecast 2007-2026F Indian Forecast 2007-2026F
1 Iron Ore production is expected to increase by 4.4% compounded annually over the forecast period
1 Indian consumption of iron ore is forecast to grow strongly in the future as India industrialises coupled with rapid urbanisation and large infrastructure projects
2 However, iron ore consumption growth will outpace the increased production
3 Therefore it is likely that growing iron ore imports will continue to play an important role in meeting Chinese iron ore consumption needs
2 The consumption is forecast to outpace production increases, leading to a reduction in exported ore and an eventual reliance on imports for demand.
3 Indian trends are relevant as India currently supplies a significant portion of iron ore on the Asian spot market

Flinders Ports Strategy – Staged Approach
Almost all iron ore resources in and around South Australia are
likely to be competitive against seaborne iron ore on a landed
cash cost basis into China
Cost Curve
Long Term
Viability
All other necessary economic conditions for the long term
viability of the port appear favourable
Interim
Solutions
Interim port solutions are likely to be necessary Port Adelaide and Port Pirie are likely to be the optimal locations due to:
a) adequate rail/land/port capacity and
b) cost effective CAPEX
Bank-
ability
Bankability Port is currently unlikely due to a) default risk and
b) shipment dates of users
c) Market Conditions
