3. GLOBAL MARKET REFERENCE
International metal transactions are commonly referenced against exchange and physical-market pricing. The London Metal Exchange publishes daily global reference prices for physically delivered metals.
Copper is currently a major high-value component of the non-ferrous market. LME copper prices reached approximately $14,343 per metric tonne on August 25, 2026, during a period of elevated international copper-market pricing.
Nickel was reported at approximately $17,021 per metric tonne on August 23, 2026.
Scrap pricing is materially lower than refined-metal exchange pricing and varies by grade, contamination, processing, transportation and buyer.

4. CURRENT SCRAP REFERENCE
A current U.S. scrap-market reference dated August 26, 2026 lists:
Material| Reference Scrap Price
Aluminum| $1.10/lb
304 Stainless Steel| $0.38/lb
316 Stainless Steel| $0.75/lb
Lead| $0.55/lb
Car Batteries| $0.28/lb
These are scrap-yard reference prices and are not equivalent to refined-metal exchange prices.
Actual FIVEo1 sales prices are determined at transaction level according to grade, quantity, assay, logistics and buyer quotation.

10. COIN-METAL RECOVERY
Coins may contain aluminum, copper alloys, nickel, steel, stainless steel, bronze, brass, zinc or other metallic compositions depending on country, denomination and issue year.
Banco de Guatemala identifies the current 1-centavo coin as an aluminum-magnesium alloy consisting of approximately 985 thousandths aluminum and 15 thousandths magnesium.
Coin material must therefore be identified by exact denomination and issue before assigning a metal value.
The commercial value of coin-derived material is based on recoverable metal content and the applicable buyer classification rather than monetary face value.

11. INVENTORY VALUATION
FIVEo1 inventory should be maintained by:
Material Code → Alloy → Grade → Lot Number → Gross Weight → Net Weight → Unit Cost → Current Market Reference → Estimated Sale Value
Example:
Lot| Material| Weight| Cost/kg| Inventory Cost| Market/kg| Estimated Sales Value
M-001| Aluminum| 1,000 kg| $X.XX| $X,XXX| $X.XX| $X,XXX
M-002| Copper| 1,000 kg| $X.XX| $X,XXX| $X.XX| $X,XXX
