Planning gold average ppm
Typical averages and alternative estimates are company planning references. Enter a custom value when you have a specific assay. Gold alone does not establish other metal grades.
Platinum · optional scenario
JX does not pay for Pt under the current contract. Enter only an explicit platinum scenario.
03
Lot weight & costs
Wet weight is the physical purchase weight before moisture deduction; it does not mean the material must look wet. Weight is the total across all lots. Increasing the lot count does not increase weight. Dowa charges USD 1,150 for every lot, regardless of size.
Additional costs by refinery route
Include freight, insurance or financing here to deduct them from the purchase basis. Other potential Dowa charges are not specified in the source offer.

Gold hedge funding estimate
Gold only. Assumes financing 100% of payable gold value at today's spot quote, before refining charges. Simple interest: annual funding cost × days / 360. One month = 30 days. No other account borrowing assumed.
IBKR UK USD reference checked 27 October 2026: 5.38% on the first $100k; 4.88% on the next $900k; 4.63% up to $50m; 4.38% up to $250m. Blended by tier; not a live rate feed. Above $250m, enter an agreed custom rate. Rate source ↗
This is a funding-cost proxy, not an executable hedge quote or price lock. It excludes instrument-specific short borrow costs, spreads, commissions and futures basis. Do not also enter this funding cost under additional costs.
Source: Gold API ↗. Precious metals: USD/troy oz. Copper HG: indicative USD/lb market proxy, converted to USD/metric tonne. This is not the contractual LME cash settlement price.
The provider refresh timestamp is shown for each metal; it is not an exchange trade timestamp. Live prices are estimates for purchase decisions, not refinery quotation-period averages. Check against Kitco ↗ if needed.

Gold total shows the dry-weighted planning assay. Load margin = (total net return − total purchase price) ÷ total net return. This includes the allowance for any operating costs you have not entered; no separate 7–10% allowance is deducted in this calculator.

Recommended minimum purchase price—
Based on a 15% total margin. Paying above this reference reduces the margin below 15%.
Agent purchase prices—
Cost-cover purchase reference · 8% margin—
Estimated purchase price leaving an 8% allowance for costs. Actual cost coverage depends on the load's operating costs.
Added directly to the agent's total margin: 15% + 5% = 20%.
Final purchase price for the load—
The table retains the agent's prices. The final purchase total is used for the invoice and route comparison. Any additional reduction is spread proportionally across the invoice items.
