Comex Copper Surcharge based on Comex Prices
The Comex base copper surcharge is to assist in offsetting the significant capital cost increases caused by the high level of Comex copper prices and their affect on the cost of producing all copper and copper alloy products. This surcharge became effective June 5, 2006 and applies to all products produced at Revere.

The Comex base copper surcharge is in effect when the previous month's Comex average exceeds $1.50/lb. The surcharge is calculated using the difference between the previous month's Comex average price for copper and $1.50/lb. This ammount is multipled by 2% to determine the surcharge in $/lb.

The graph below shows the monthly Comex spot average for each month of the current year.

For July 2009
Previous month (June) Comex average = $2.28
$2.28 – $1.50 = $0.78
$0.78 @ 2% = $0.0156/lb

July surcharge = $0.0156/lb
