operational and investment costs. The typical cost distri bution of a ferrochrome smelter, as predicted by Daavittila et al.2, is illustrated in Figure 3. The cost distribution for South African smelters varies slightly; typically chromite ore, reductants, and electricity each account for 30 per cent of the production costs, while
