Copper is found all over the world. We own and operate several copper mines in Chile, South Australia, and a proposed mine located in Arizona, US. Meet Yass from Olympic Dam 0:16 Think copper Copper is used in a range of technologies, especially renewables. As Yass from our Olympic Dam...
Renewables in miningCopper productionRenewable energy systemsEnergy systems designOptimizationRenewable energy systems are now accepted to be mandatory for climate change mitigation. These systems require a higher material supply than conventional ones. Particularly, they require more copper. The production of...
The copper market will come under increased pressure as each of these renewable energy technologies is projected to grow rapidly over the next three decades, with knock-on effects for investors in the renewables sector. Indeed, the surge in copper prices is already eroding margins on many clean ...
Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measure...
I like to point out that China is producing more electric vehicles than any other country in the world right now, but it also approved 106 gigawatts of coal-fired generation capacity last year. So, between coal and all the renewables, it is disconnecting itself from the rest of the world....
FocusEconomics analysts projectcopper pricesto climb in the near-term on an expected receding of trade tensions. Demand is widely expected to outstrip supply owing to the usability of the red metal in new technologies, especially in renewables and electric cars. Moreover, scant supply should tight...

Government Investments in Infrastructure and Renewables will Create Market Opportunities Government policies, regulations, and taxation frameworks can significantly impact the mining industry. Political stability, legal frameworks, mining codes, and fiscal policies affect investment attractiveness, licensing, and ...
Nickel shortages could be 10-20% by the end of this decade, while dysprosium – used in electric motors – could see a 70% supply gap. Investment in mining and metal smelting and refining need to rise exponentially this decade compared to the previous decade, for shortages to be avoided, ...
The majority of the copper used in construction appears to come more from that used in wood treatment as opposed to that used in copper pipe. Go back to the graph showing forestry use of copper. This could be somewhat replaced with zinc. Zinc napthanate rather than copper napthanate etc. ...
