The Iron Ore Cost Service is the culmination of significant, in-depth research into the iron ore industry, led by our in-house technical and cost experts the Iron Ore Cost Service is a database, providing a state-of-the-art, time series model that gives the latest production and operating data for sixty-eight operating and planned mines across the globe.
The model provides in-depth cost analysis and benchmarking at the mine, regional and global levels, for each year from 2000 to 2015. CRU’s methodology is to apply ‘Value-Based Costing’ (VBC) which integrates the traditional industry ‘cost culture’ into a broader ‘value culture’ in order to provide more meaningful cost estimates. Such functionality provides an invaluable service to participants in the iron ore industry looking to improve the quality of their investment decisions

The Iron Ore Cost Service will allow you to address the key issues facing the industry including:
- What are the factors dictating changing iron ore mining costs over time?
- What are the sources of competitive advantage between mining operations around the world?
- What are the likely sources of future supply and where do they fit on the cost curve?
- How do our future mining cost projections support our view of the long run iron ore price?
There are four different packages available to suit your business needs.
