Because I'm actually quite nice I'll start you with this..just because folk are ignoring the perlite side.

BPM perlite prices typically range NZ$150-340(US$107-242)/t FOB depending on market application and location.
The accompanying charts illustrate BPM sales by market share in 2018 and 2019. Owing to BPM winding down its Perlite Division in late 2019, BPM maintains that FY19 performance is not reflective of true operating performance.
Indeed, BPM reports that in FY17 it sold 10,388 tonnes of perlite valued at NZ$1.5m. In FY18, a sales and revenue decline (NZ$1.37m, 7,921 tonnes) was driven by a fall in LNG capital investment in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as an associated stock/product mix devaluation
