Two latent byproduct assets from a specialist mining research desk

Two latent byproduct assets from a specialist mining research desk. (1) An internally maintained copper value-chain comparison series: the outlet builds its own 'Crux Investor Analysis' charts combining annual and spot concentrate TC/RC benchmarks (2021-2026, including the $0/t January 2026 annual benchmark and -$126.80/t June 2026 spot), producer cash-cost bands ($1.90-$2.60/lb for 2026), company-level production guidance and realised output (Codelco 1.33Mt target; Antofagasta H1 -9.5% to 285,000t), exchange stock levels (LME 255,400t, SHFE under 70,000t, COMEX record 644,465t) and ICSG balance forecasts — a hand-assembled reconciliation of otherwise scattered sources. (2) Longer-run: a structured coverage archive of small-cap copper developers and explorers — which projects the desk covers, when, and the thesis framing — i.e. an analyst-attention record over names that sell-side research largely ignores.

Type: not stated
Format: Long-form text articles with embedded chart images and figure tables; the underlying working set is tabular (benchmark, cost, production and inventory series) held in editorial working files rather than as a productised feed
Volume: Small: a continuous article stream since ~2019 — plausibly low thousands of published pieces and chart objects, plus a compact numeric working set (annual TC benchmark by year, spot TC series, per-producer cash costs, guidance and realised output, exchange stock levels)
Users: Request further research — the outlet distributes free web articles plus an investor newsletter and publishes no subscriber count; with a 5-person team a distribution list in the tens of thousands of mining-focused retail and institutional investors is the plausible band, but nothing in the gathered evidence bounds it precisely
History: 3 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — publishing current-cycle analysis with in-text as-of dates in July 2026 (Codelco congressional testimony 15 July 2026, end-July stock levels)
