Geospatial intelligence company Earth-I, in collaboration with commodities broker Marex Spectron and the European Space Agency, have announced the launch of the SAVANT Global Copper Smelting Index, a unique new product built on industry leading satellite imagery that will provide ongoing coverage and monitoring of up to 90% of global copper smelting capacity.

The new service, the first in an upcoming series of SAVANT metal indices, will provide timely and accurate information on the supply of copper to traders, analysts, fund managers and organisations throughout the supply chain.

See the press release as well as the SAVANT website for further information. A short video has been produced explaining the technology.
