NAI 500

NAI 500Manage supplier listing

Proprietary base-metals supply-chain price and contract-term series maintained by an editorial desk: copper concentrate treatment/refining charge (TC/RC) observations including negative spot levels, quarterly and annual benchmark settlement outcomes, regional spot sulfuric acid price series (Chinese acid shown up roughly fivefold over 2.5 years), unroasted pyrite import volumes (~392,000 t in the first four months of 2026, highest for that period since 2014), and concentrate feedstock composition/impurity commentary (sulfur and iron content, acid-plant stress, slag and copper-loss penalties).

Type
not stated
Format
Tabular time series (price, charge and volume observations) wrapped in Text analyst commentary; delivery today is email newsletter and web articles rather than bulk machine-readable files
Volume
Thousands of dated article records plus the embedded observation series behind them — realistically tens of thousands of individual price, charge and volume data points across the copper concentrate and acid complex if the desk's historical files are compiled
Users
~1,000-5,000 paid subscriber seats (inferred: specialist paywalled metals newsletter, 11-person editorial operation, institutional mining/metals readership)
History
10 years
Update frequency
not stated
Growth
Active — publishing continuously through 2025 and 2026 with multi-part follow-on coverage, and riding a cycle in which its core subject matter (negative TC/RC, acid economics) has become a headline industry issue
Launched
Request further research on exact founding year — dating signals available here bound activity to at least 2014 (the pyrite-import comparison series runs back to 2014 for like-for-like periods) and the site's own asset paths show continuous publication through 2025-2026
