Market context
Zinc is benchmarked off the live LBMA/LME/COMEX feed shown below.
MetalPulse Africa never mixes sources on a single row. When a feed is unavailable we mark the price as a reference or proxy and surface the underlying note alongside it.
Grades, assay & payable
Payable terms vary by buyer, refinery route and assay. The calculator below uses a default payable of 85.0% and an indicative treatment / refining charge of $220/t. Always confirm payables, deductions and penalties with your offtake buyer before signing.
