| 1Data, although rounded, contain a large component of estimates and some respondents- | |||||||||||||
| provide values only on their total sales of a slag type, not value by type of use.- | |||||||||||||
| Thus, the value ranges shown are likely too restrictive. | |||||||||||||
| 2Values are for material reported for use as a cementitious additive in cement or concrete- | |||||||||||||
| manufacture. No sales of unground material were reported in
2014-15, although such---- |
|||||||||||||
| sales certainly took place; the price ranges shown are thus just
for ground material.-- |
|||||||||||||
| Sales other than for cementitious use were generally at unit values below the ranges shown. | |||||||||||||
