The post mentions that iron ore pellets will also be loaded there, where would those pellets be coming from?

Re: E&LS - New Business
Associated has set up contracts at a number of mining locations to reclaim pellets that were left behind in earlier storage and handling operations. I would guess that these pellets are being loaded at the former Republic mine and then reloaded for rail shipment to the end user.JANGAJONGA wrote:The post mentions that iron ore pellets will also be loaded there, where would those pellets be coming from?
As is typical for large companies, the mining management doesn't want to mess with the leftovers. Way too much work. So Associated steps in buys the stockpile remains and then loads them out.
