Coal reference price (HBA) by calorific value, USD/t.
—
Government nickel reference price (HMA), USD/dmt. It is calculated from LME prices and trails them by about half a month. Latest LME nickel price.
—
Government cobalt reference price (HMA), USD/dmt. Cobalt counts in the ministry's nickel ore price formula for ore with at least 0.05% cobalt, typically low-grade limonite. The ministry sets the formula (revised 15 September, Kepmen 363.K) rather than a price for each grade; APNI's HPM calculator applies it.
