Insight Foxel dari benchmark:Foxel benchmark insight:
Proyeksi Pak Andi (800k t Y2, SR 5,5, cost 48/t) konsisten dengan median Kaltim startup miner. Tidak ambisius, tidak konservatif. First shipment 12 bulan sedikit lebih lama dari MINE-B (8 bulan) — karena MINE-B sudah ada infrastruktur pelabuhan. Mr. Andi's projection (800k t Y2, SR 5.5, cost 48/t) is consistent with East Kalimantan startup median. Neither ambitious nor conservative. 12-month first-shipment is slightly longer than MINE-B's 8 months — because MINE-B had pre-existing port infrastructure.
