Specifications and pricing reference
| Parameter | Standard reference value |
|---|---|
| Product form | Cu 18%–20% copper concentrate; identify sulphide or non-sulphide type, origin and processing route. |
| Assay and lot information | Cu; Au / Ag (g/t); Fe, S, Pb, As, F, Cd, Hg |
| Standard reference | YS/T 318—2023 / GB/T 20424—2025 |
| Pricing discussion | Discuss copper, associated gold/silver, moisture and dry/wet weight, impurities, quantity and transport; payable elements and processing charges are agreed per lot. |
| Reference notes | This reference concerns the applicable concentrate scope. Discuss ore, slag and recycled materials by their actual form; concentrate criteria do not automatically apply. |

For comparing lots and discussing specifications and pricing, not a universal RTV supply threshold.
Content conditions are not the complete definition or RTV purchasing minimums. Check source, beneficiation and physical form for applicability. Do not directly apply this table to ore, slag, dust or recycled material.
Three points for supply discussions
Match the assay to the cargo
Identify the lot, sampling date and current cargo condition, with photos showing the site and material.
Clarify quantity and location
State the available lot quantity, cargo location and loading conditions so transport and delivery can be discussed.
Discuss terms for each lot
Consider composition, moisture, impurities, packaging and delivery conditions. Existing quotations should state the currency, pricing unit and applicable terms.
Assay and lot information
- Material form and actual Cu grade, if available.
- Lot quantity and cargo location.
- Available assay, moisture and impurity results.
- Cargo photos, actual packaging and loading conditions.
- Existing quotation or delivery terms, if available.
- Email, phone or WhatsApp.
Start with the information available; further details can follow.
Common questions
How are wet and dry weights used in pricing?
State whether the quantity is in wet or dry tonnes and share available moisture data. The parties agree the payable weight, copper content and moisture measurement method.
What can I send for the first discussion?
Start with available grade data, quantity and cargo location. Photos and assay reports can follow; a complete file is not required for the first contact.
How are sampling and retesting arranged?
Agree the sampling organisation, method, sealing and retained samples for the cargo and delivery point. Define how differing results will be retested in the trade terms.
