Skarn Associates goal is to support the mining and metals sectors in reducing their environmental impacts, by providing actionable strategic insight into energy use, GHG emissions, decarbonisation economics and water use. Based on our detailed asset level analysis of over 1,700 assets, development projects, smelters and refineries globally, including forecasts to 2030, we deliver deep insight into the interplay between mineral economics and environmental impacts. Our most recent launch, the Skarn Decarbonisation Quarterly, tracks global trends in decarbonising supply chains for key energy transition metals. Skarn Water provides unique benchmarking of water stewardship for 451 gold, 228 copper 387 silver and 100 zinc producing mines respectively, with development underway on nickel.

Metal Price Analytics Ltd’s (MPA’s) current focus is on the chrome concentrates price model that it has developed in early 2023 for SwapX Holdings (Pty) Ltd, shortly to be made available on license by SwapX. Chrome concentrates prices show strong inverse correlation with port stocks. Because of the strong causal link between stock levels and the market’s supply-demand balance, this will allow producers, traders and users both to quantify any short-term (current) price anomalies and to forecast quantitatively rather than just qualitatively the expected impact on prices of predicted surpluses or deficits. MPA’s Adam Sotowicz is undertaking the modelling, in discussion with SwapX’s Quintin Kieser, with insights also from Bloomsbury Minerals Economics’ Peter Hollands. Adam has experience of modelling prices over time frames from intra-day to several years ahead. MPA also has considerable background in modelling LME cash and forward prices for copper, nickel, aluminium, zinc, lead and tin. Adam would be happy to extend MPA’s modelling work into other raw materials: SHFE metals contracts, exchange traded rubber and any non-exchange traded ores and metals that have Chinese port stock series. The modelling work is done mainly in R or Python using regression splines along with other modelling techniques, such as time series analysis, glmnet, data visualisation and graphical analysis.
