a Mining costs were assumed to go up in steps.

During the first half of the mining operations,
costs were expected to be relatively low as a large
portion of the iron ore was covered with little
overburden. More expensive mining would not
be necessary until the later years of mine
operation.
b Of the original $200 million investment in
capital for the project, $20 million was budgeted
for working capital.
