The Nation of Midnoch is interested in buying reasonably priced, slightly used mining equipment that must pass inspection and is geared towards coal mining. If any nations are willing to sell us this equipment it would be greatly appreciated.

ooc: nothing futuristic. Drills and bucket scoops/ wheel buckets. Modern type stuff. Eco-concerns: Need to also have land reclamation equipment included.
IC: Gyrobot:We regret to inform you that a titanium ore harvester is geared towards ore mining. Coal is not an ore.

If your willing to stripmine we would be able to provide mining equipement, thought you shall have to aquire land reclamation from an outside source.

Is it possible to refit any of the stripmining equipment into land reclamation equipment at our cost? If not we will still buy the equipment, but if it were refittable we could produce our own reclamation equipment pieces. As of now there are not enough factories to create enough miners to be profitable.

They could be refitted, thought it may take a lot of work.

The amount of work is not the problem. The pproblem our country has is not enough factories to creat our own mining equipment. We can refit it however. We will gladly purchase the mining equipment. How much do you have and what is your asking price?

We have a large number of mining vehicles, including drag-line and bucket-wheel excavators and mining grade dumptrucks.

That will work wonderfully. I would like to purchase 5 dragline excavators and 20 dumptrucks. I'm sure we can come to an reasonable agrrement on the prices.

Would fifty million be to much for all of it?
Midnoch

Fifty million in dollars or montias? (As best i can guess from economy strengths the montia is 1/2 the value of the dollar.)
Theao

In USD preferably or in metallic ores if that would be unworkable.
Midnoch

Fifty million in U.S. dollars will be acceptable. The money will be wired within the next day or so. We gratefully await receipt of the equipment.
