Kapral transmitted a prefeasibility study, prepared by Darden Holt, on the capital and operating costs of a plant to calcine Coalinga ore into non-asbestos forsterite. The memo gave estimated capital costs of $14.6MM, or $12.6MM if iron was not removed, and operating costs of about $40 and $37 per ton. It said the work was preliminary, that bulk material was too expensive to replace dolomite at the Alcoa facility, and that costs would be raised for mine-site logistics and bagging. A third page holds Table 1, an upside-down table of potential uses and guesstimated price ranges.
