Chromium Extractive Cost Tracker
China's vast stainless steel output is wholly reliant on imported chromium raw materials as the country hosts negligible chromite resources. South Africa has grown to account for over 60% of global supply and over 80% of supply to China although its sector faces challenges. Use the chromium extractive cost tracker to compare chromium operation production costs across the industry. The cost tracker allows you to examine current and historic cost performance on an asset-by-asset basis, comparing financial performance from 2015 to now. The tracker enables a user to understand the forces underpinning the costs of chromium mining, normalised on a US$/t Cr ore basis.
Designed To:
- Compare the cost of chromite ore production from multiple assets and compare their performances on the industry cost curve.
- Provide a cost breakdown of chromite ore production from each asset worldwide.
- Granular operating cost information for all assets on fuel, electricity, labour, fuel, etc.
- Help understand historic and current price directions as production costs impact supply.
- Provide independent industry cost analysis.
Includes:
- 30 fully costed chromite operations with cost data from 2015 to now.
- Operating cost curves for chromite production – broken out by cost category and country.
