Every concession and facility behind the map — sortable, filterable, no spreadsheet required
Who Magarini should actually spend days on — and the sanity-check column.
score = product form × √(output kt) × status factor × access factor.
Product form ranks what an intermediary can genuinely resell: LME-grade cathode (refineries, 1.3)
over blister/anode (smelters, 1.0) over concentrate (mines, 0.8). Access marks down global majors
that market through in-house trading arms (Glencore, CMOC/IXM, Zijin, FQM… ×0.4) and SOE channels
(×0.7); state-linked and mid-tier producers score full access — and anything Gécamines-linked is
flagged, because its JV offtake share is sold via tender, the classic legitimate source of DRC spot
metal. Realistic spot MT/mo assumes ~95% of output is committed under offtake: it is the
number to hold against any offer or demand. An offer of 50,000 MT concentrate "origin Kenya" or
10,000 MT/month of "99.99% cathode" fails this column instantly — which is precisely why it exists.
Weights live in prospects.js (MAGARINI block) and are meant to be tuned.
