Where 1 Poud of (79%) Pt platina ore sold for 7,300 руб, so 1 Poud (.999) Pt = 9,240.51 руб and 1 Poud Platinum 

In Germany, 1 Kg Platinum cost 707.68 руб.

c.1895: St. Petersburg platina Spot-Price



c.1898: 1 Troy Ounce Platinum (Global Mkt) = 33.72 руб Kr. (USD$ 17.33)

Where the Poud was руб 7,300 (Au?):
c.1897??: 1 Ozt platina (Ural contract, Ore) = 13.86 руб Kr. (USD$ 7.125)
c.1897??: 1 Ozt Pt (Ural: .999 Ore) = 18.52 руб Kr. (USD$ 9.525)
c.1897??: --Refining Cost: 1 Ozt Pt (Ural: .999) = 1.21 руб Kr. (USD$ 0.6217)
c.1897??: 1 Ozt Platinum (Ural: .999 Refined) = 19.74 руб Kr. (USD$ 10.15)

Die Kosten für die zu errichtende Platinraffinerie würden sich leicht aus dem Preise für Platin decken, indem Rub. 1000 von jedem verkauften Pud Platin dazu bestimmt werden, was im ersten Jahre Rub. 200,000-260,000 ausmachen würde. Im Auslande zahlt man pro 1 Pud raffiniertes Platin Rub. 17,760, während das Rohplatin Rub. 7,300 kostet. Das Raffiniren eines Pudes kostet Rub. 425; rechnet man noch dazu die Ausgaben für Verbesserung an den technischen Einrichtungen und Verwaltung 50 Proc. der obigen Summe, so würden zu der Zeit, wo der Preis auf Rohplatin Rub. 7300 pro Pud betrug, für den Ankauf von Rohplatin 17,760 - (425 + 212), mithin Rub. 17,123 verfügbar bleiben und die Productionskosten für 1 Jahr bei einer Verarbeitung von 200-250 Pud jährlich Rub. 127,000 — 159,000 betragen.

 In 1877, the price rose to Rub. 2400, because the offer was low, and the buyer was afraid the occurrence of Concurrenten. This is still very low prices made it possible to exploit the platinum richest localities at the Issa, and consequently this was also a year only to a very limited yield, 1867-1869 6-7 Poud, 1870-1877.  The cost of the platinum refinery to be built would easily be covered by profit on the price of Platinum,  determined at Rub. 1,000. per Poud, which in the first year would amount to Rub. 200,000. to 260,000.  Abroad, you pay Rub. 17,760. per Poud refined platinum, while the crude platina costs Rub. 7,300.   The refining of a Poud costs Rub. 425; we still expect expenditure on improvement of technical devices and management to be 50% of the above sum, so when the price of crude platinum was Rub. 7,300 per Poud, for the purchase of crude platinum 17,760 - (425 + 212), thus Rub. 17,123 remain available and the annual cost of production for processing 200-250 poods annually would be Rub. 127,000-159,000.
