Vanadium Extractive Cost Service
Vanadium is produced at primary and secondary operations, but mostly comes from the co-production route, where vanadium slag is produced during the steelmaking process. As such, its supply demands considerably on iron and steel market dynamics. Use the vanadium extractive cost service to compare vanadium operation and project production costs across the industry. The cost service allows you to see changes in vanadium pentoxide production costs over time from current producers, but also future projects. The service enables a user to understand the forces underpinning the cost of production, normalised on a US$/t V₂O₅ basis and updated quarterly.
Designed To:
- Compare the cost of vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) production from multiple assets and compare their performances on the industry cost curve.
- Provide a cost breakdown of vanadium production from steel refineries, recycled material processors, primary vanadium mines, and coalstone mines.
- Granular operating cost information for all assets on fuel, electricity, labour, and reagents.
- Model flex ability allows a user to alter the macroeconomic assumptions underlying the industry and run various scenarios to model their impact on asset costs and revenues over the next decade.
- Compare capital costs and capital intensities across vanadium projects.
- Cash flow analysis on vanadium operations and projects.
- Model flex ability allows a user to alter the macroeconomic and vanadium pricing assumptions underlying the industry and run various scenarios to model their impact on asset costs and revenues over the next decade.
- Help understand future price directions as production costs impact supply.
- Provide independent industry cost analysis.
Includes:
- 60 fully costed vanadium operations and projects with cash flow analysis out to 2040.
- Operating cost curves for vanadium pentoxide production – broken out by cost category and operation type.
- Project Blue’s quarterly vanadium price forecast.
- Model flex tool, allowing for a discounted cash flow analysis of all vanadium operations and projects.
