This procedure will be operative from 1st of March 2022 referring the website Westmetall’s ( https://www.westmetall.com ) copper value and exchange rates  for single days and the month’s average.

Daily Calculation rules :

  • (COPPER (US-$/TON) + CATHODE PREMIUMS ($/TON)) / EXCHANGE RATES (€/$) + 2.0% = €/TON / 1000 = €/KG

 

Example day:  24/02/2022   

  • (9.983,00 (US-$/TON) + 128 ($/TON)) / 1,11630 (€/$) + 2.0% =  €/TON 9.238,75  / 1000  =  €/KG  9,239

 

Medium Month Calculation rules : 

  • (Average Month COPPER  (US-$/TON) + CATHODE PREMIUMS ($/TON)) / Average Month  EXCHANGE RATES  (€/$) + 2.0%    =   €/TON / 1000 = €/KG

 

Example month:  February                          

  • ( 9.941,35 (US-$/TON) + 128 ($/TON) ) / 1,13419 (€/$) + 2.0% = €/TON  9055,57 / 1000 = €/KG  9,056
