Niobium Extractive Cost Tracker
While mine supply taking place almost exclusively in Brazil and Canada sees niobium appear on most critical materials lists, the market is characterised by unparalleled stability. It is a unique market, oligopolistic in nature, dominated by one major producer: CBMM in Brazil. Use the niobium extractive cost tracker to compare niobium 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 niobium extraction and production, normalised on a US$/t Nb basis.
Designed To:
- Compare the cost of niobium production from multiple assets and compare their performances on the industry cost curve.
- Provide a cost breakdown of niobium production from each asset worldwide.
- Granular operating cost information for all assets on fuel, electricity, labour, etc.
