How the price is calculated
Written on every pink slip, per metal.
Payout formula
Weight (t) × Grade × LME price × Payable % − Deductions
Weight — measured on our certified scale in front of you.
Grade — Cu/Pb as % metal; Ag/Au as g/t from assay.
LME price — day's London Metal Exchange USD/ton, printed on your slip.
Payable % — recovery share (65% Cu, 55% Ag, 90% Au, 60% Pb standard).
Deductions (bag hire, transport, tool rental) are itemised — never lumped in.
