V.I.U (Value in Use) Assessment – Technical pricing of manganese ore.
International quotation.
Manganese ore
It is based on the price per point of Mn, given in USD/dmtu (dry metric tonne unit), published by reference companies such as CRU, Metal Bulletin, Roskill, and Tex Report.
This reference price considers a benchmark ore with 44% Mn content. Ores with Mn content above 44% receive premiums; below that, they suffer commercial demerits.
However, ores with the same Mn content can have significantly different prices. The reason lies in the levels of other constituents: Fe, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, CaO, MgO, P, and other elements in smaller quantities.
The relationships between Mn content and these constituents form the so-called Ore Competitiveness Factors, which determine the real commercial price. Among the main chemical ratios evaluated are:
In addition to chemical ratios, physical characteristics such as moisture, mechanical strength, percentage of fines, and particle size also make up the ore's Value in Use.
