Join CRU's live webinar
Copper smelters are facing a new squeeze. Treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs) have declined sharply amid tightening concentrate supply and increasing smelter capacity. Nuanced analysis is needed to understand the dynamics of negative TC/RCs, higher gold and silver prices and surging sulphuric acid values.
This webinar unpacks use cases for CRUs new weekly TC/RC assessment, copper concentrate fundamentals and forecasts, the evolution of copper smelting revenues, and what record high sulphuric acid prices mean for smelter economics.
On the Agenda:
- The history and evolution of Copper Concentrate Treatment and Refining Charges (TC/RCs) - how CRU's new weekly assessments can become an industry reference point.
- Copper concentrates - when will supply catch smelting demand
- The changing nature of copper smelting economics
- Sulphuric acid prices reach new records - what does this mean for copper mining and smelting?
- Q&A
