• Archive: First published in looseleaf format in 1993, Base Metals Handbook has been described as the bible of the metals trading community.
• The looseleaf is divided into seven sections.
• The first of these provides a general introduction to the history, structure and workings of the base metals markets, with particular reference to the London Metal Exchange (LME).
• The following sections review aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel and tin.
• Each of the sections on a particular metal reviews extraction and refining, the major markets for the metal, and the trading environment.
