The latter are definitecharges against the ore that, for convenience,are paid b the smelter. Marketing chargesusually inc 9 ude freight on ore from mine tosmelter, demurrage, extra sampling costs andumpire assaying, freight to the refinery, andduties and customs charges if the ore is offoreign origin. The freight on metal to NewYork or to any other refinery point may becalculated as a separate item or may be pro-vided for in the deduction from the metalquotation used for settlement. Under the firstagreement, the seller gains or loses by changesin the freight rate. The cost of refining andmarketing the refined metals, whether done bythe smelter or by a separate company, usuallyis covered by an arbitrary deduction from themetal quotation and virtually becomes part ofthe smelting charge.There are three principal smelting charges:1. Nominal treatment charge, which often fluctuateswith the value of the ore, the content of some constituent,or the market quotation for some constituent.2. Deduction from the metal content (metallurgicallosses usually covered here) or from the market quotationsof the various salable metals.3. Various penalties imposed because of the presenceof undesirable constituents.
