Copper Industry Cost Report (Smelters & Refineries)

Our annual industry cost reports offer comprehensive analysis on the production costs for mines, smelters and refineries around the world.

These major, integrated, multi-volume reports provide knowledge on the profitability of each operation, company and industry. This allows comparison and benchmarking of individual plants and mines to optimize the decision-making process. Furthermore, the reports highlight the evolving industry dynamics by comparing how operations change over time.

Each data set includes detailed cost breakdowns by process technology, project, company and country. Like all our work, the Cost Reports are available electronically via our website as well as in printed format. In addition, you receive our Cost Modeller, which is a working spreadsheet that encourages you to change key variables such as exchange rates, by-product metal prices and concentrate treatment charges. The results can be seen on a re-drawn cost curve.
