Each Quarter, Iron Ore Briefing Service clients receive commentaries, statistics and forecasts, an updated Interactive Cost Model, and profiles of iron ore mines and projects around the world. These are supplemented by our Iron Ore Dashboard, which provides updates of current market statistics published 20 times a year.

This is the only service of its kind in the world. We began it in 2007 in response to clients' unsatisfied needs for an independent view of the iron ore market, logically integrated with reasoned analysis and forecasts of the demand and production of pig iron and steel.

Metalytics' demonstrated capabilities in producing the Iron Ore Briefing Service have led to specialist consulting assignments as independent project and market analysts, and for niche marketing of individual iron ore products for clients including resources companies, project financiers and  iron ore buyers.

Iron Ore Briefing Service components ...
