There's a man by the name of Earnie that hangs out in a strip club in Bogota, I am sure he can help!..50K ton of Iron ore at 62% purity? ummmmmm... there is probably a better forum, rather than here, to handle a mass shipment of Iron..... dude..I doubt you will check that in your luggage......

Holy cow!! 62% purity ? That is more than twice the percentage found.

Why don't you check out Chile ? ...or better yet, buy commodity contracts and take delivery.

You dont neeed to import it - theres shitloads available - just ask around

Según la Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN), en el 2004 se exportaron 14.500 toneladas de cobre; en el 2005, 23.500; en el 2006, 46.000; y en el 2007, casi completó las 50.000. La demanda está en Brasil, Corea y China, que están en un período asombroso de construcción. Pero reiteramos la pregunta: ¿de dónde sale el cobre que se exporta y cuya industria está creciendo a tan buenos ritmos, si Colombia no lo produce?

También estamos exportando chatarra de aluminio (30 mil toneladas en el 2006).

¿Por qué está resultando tan próspero ese negocio y para quiénes?

Colombia does not produce any copper or aluminium. A couple of kms of railway lines should be more than adequate for your needs
and the chatarra owners will arrange everything inc delivery

TOMASS: where does the wasted Aluminum come from?

From all the beer cans consumed in Navidad, feria de las flores, san pedro y san pablo, carnaval de B/quilla, feria bonita, Carnaval de blancos y negros, feria de cali, feria de manizales, etc...

Democratic party or Republican party is fine......as long as theres a party!!!!!!!

now, serioulsy:
what kind of ore, size and for what extraction method?

BHP Billiton`s Cerromatoso (Cordoba) produces Ferronickel, but the smelter produces about 50 K tons a year ( I just can`t imagine what you need that quantity for !! )

jorge, natural deposits of iron ore are mined economically i think for about 40-70% Fe mostly.
Cerromatoso is an open-pit laterite deposit - about 1-2% nickel i would guess. It prob only produces id guess about 10% tops of the worlds nickel.
Even though the nickel price has come down a lot the past year its still 4 times what it was 6 years ago. Primary use for nickel is the stainless steel industry - and the chinese love their kitchens.
Yep id guess the al is mostly from cans.
but the theft of copper - wires, transformers etc is a staggering burden.

brasi - you could try the steel Compary - Acerias Paz del Rio in Boyaca and they have an underground iron ore mine.
