China is proposing to replace its tonnage-based resource taxes and all related grey costs with a price-based royalty for iron ore mines. The government will aim to set the new royalty rates without affecting costs for the industry. We estimate price-based royalties will need to be between 5 and 7% on average to achieve this goal. A date for implementing this new royalty regime is not decided and could be up to several years away.
