    Yes - we only need to mine the more copper than in history in next 22 years than in the last 4,000.

    How many copper mines are on approved & coming on line as the known mines exhaust their ore bodies...ore is copper renewable & in exhaustible???

    “The human species produced approximately 700 million tonnes of metal over the 4000 years prior to 2020. For global economic demand for copper to continue its current trajectory of growth, another 700 million tonnes would need to be produced in the next 22 years.”
