## Customers that Benefit
**Mining Companies**Mining companies use Argus independent price assessments to anchor sales contracts to trusted, market-based benchmarks, ensuring pricing transparency and reducing disputes. This supports stronger buyer relationships and more predictable revenue in volatile markets.<br/>
**Non-ferrous Metal Producers/Refiners**Non-ferrous metal producers benefit from using Argus assessments in their long-terms sales contracts to ensure pricing reflects independent, market-aligned benchmarks that build trust with important buyers. On the buy side, price assessments support consistent cost structures and reduce exposure to pricing inequities or volatility and aid in margin preservation.<br/>

Real-time data and expert analysis highlight trends and disruptions, while trusted indexes enhance transparency and reduce the likelihood of disputes in trade deals.
