Nickel is priced against LME nickel cash settlement, adjusted for contained nickel, moisture and treatment charges.

Specification

Products: Nickel-bearing ore, upgraded concentrate
Typical grade: Reported as % Ni with cobalt and copper credits where present
Packaging: 1.0–1.5 MT sealed bulk bags
Payable basis: Contained Ni against LME cash, less treatment charge

Battery and alloy demand

Nickel demand splits between stainless steel and battery cathodes. Cathode buyers care about impurity profiles as much as headline grade, so our assay packs report the full element suite rather than nickel alone.

Cobalt credits

Several of our nickel parcels carry cobalt. Where they do, the cobalt is assayed and paid separately against its own benchmark rather than absorbed into the nickel price.
