This document provides an analysis of the copper market fundamentals and outlook for 2011. It discusses factors influencing copper prices such as supply disruptions, economic growth in China and the US, and declining inventory levels. Global copper demand is expected to increase by 4.5% in 2011, outpacing modest supply growth. A shortage of 400,000 tonnes of copper is forecasted for 2011 as demand growth outpaces refined production capacity. Copper prices are expected to increase over 2011 due to tightening supply and demand conditions.
Copper is an important metal that has been used for over 10,000 years. It has many important uses such as in construction, electronics, transportation and machinery. Copper is highly conductive and does not corrode easily. The global demand for copper is increasing due to growth in emerging economies but new copper mines are difficult to develop due to challenges such as high costs, environmental opposition and political instability. Copper recycling helps offset this demand and supply imbalance but not completely.

Copper is a versatile and essential metal that has been used by humans for centuries. It has many properties that make it well-suited for a wide range of applications. Copper is highly conductive, durable, resistant to corrosion, and can be easily shaped, formed, and joined. It is also naturally antimicrobial, colorful in appearance, and fully recyclable without loss of quality. These characteristics have resulted in copper being referred to as the "metal of civilization" and having a crucial role in infrastructure, transportation, and everyday living.
Copper - Commodity based presentation on Copper by Sage KalekeSage Kaleke
Copper is a soft, malleable metal that is the third most used metal after iron and aluminum. It has very high thermal and electrical conductivity and is commonly used in electrical wiring, plumbing, and industrial machinery. Most copper is mined as copper sulfides in large open pit mines, with the largest producers being Chile, Indonesia, and Peru. Future demand for copper is expected to increase due to projected growth in India's population, urbanization, electricity capacity, and GDP through 2030. However, copper prices face challenges of volatility due to fluctuations in demand from other industries and the risk of oversupply when extraction increases despite falling demand.
Potential of survival after entering the copper industryHarsh Lunawat
Ancient Indians used copper in Ayurvedic medicine, establishing its medicinal value. Now, India accounts for 3% of the global copper market, having transitioned from a net importer to a net exporter. Key factors in India's copper industry growth include increased demand from automotive, telecom, power, and construction sectors, as well as overall industrial development. The top four companies in India's copper industry are Sterlite Industries Limited, Hindustan Copper Limited, Hindalco Industries Limited, and Jhagadia Copper Limited. However, more resources are needed to tap opportunities in the growing industry.
Copper is produced through a multi-stage process beginning with mining copper ore from the ground. The ore is crushed, ground, and concentrated to increase the copper content. It then undergoes further processing through smelting, electrowinning or leaching, and electrolytic refining to produce pure copper cathodes. The production process allows copper to be extracted from ore and purified in a series of physical and chemical steps.

This document provides information about copper in 3 paragraphs:
Paragraph 1 summarizes copper's physical properties including its melting point, boiling point, density, thermal and electrical conductivity.
Paragraph 2 discusses the history of copper usage dating back over 10,000 years, including its role in tools, weapons, and jewelry in ancient civilizations.
Paragraph 3 outlines copper extraction methods including crushing, concentration, roasting, smelting, and refining to produce a pure copper product.
The document discusses peak copper, whether concerns about it are valid, and perspectives on copper reserves and resources. It notes that while copper is relatively common in the Earth's crust, only a fraction can be feasibly extracted. Estimates suggest there are over 1 billion metric tons of copper in the ground that could potentially be used, with around 950 million metric tons considered economically recoverable based on current discovery and extraction potential. The document explores factors that could affect peak copper projections like new discoveries, technological advances, and demand variations.
This document discusses three macro trends in copper production and their implications for tellurium supply:
1) Concentrates will be redistributed to larger smelters and refineries in China and India, shifting tellurium production away from North America and Japan.
2) Pressure leaching will be more widely used to process anode slimes, improving tellurium recovery rates from slimes.
3) Non-conventional leaching processes like SX-EW will account for a larger share of refined copper capacity, changing tellurium supply dynamics.
The trends are expected to increase global tellurium production potential but will require coordination to fully realize this potential given the changing geographic distribution of copper refining.
Decreasing Ore Grades in Global Metallic Mining?Chris Helweg
Decreasing Ore Grades in Global Metallic Mining:: A Theoretical Issue or a Global Reality?
Demand for the main metals that modern society needs to produce goods has increased
dramatically over the past few decades, thereby increasing the extraction to meet this demand. Between
1998 and 2014, world material extraction of the main commodities increased by a factor of 1.7 [1,2],
a very significant number if we compare it to the 8-factor increase observed by Krausmann et al. [3]
from 1900 to 2005. For instance, in the past 10 years, approximately one quarter of the total historic mine
production of copper was produced, showing that global copper production has doubled every 25 years
since data started being recorded [4]. Meeting the increasing demands for metals makes the mining
industry one of the most energy-intensive industrial sectors. According to the International Energy
Agency, between 8% and 10% of the world total energy consumption is dedicated to the extraction
of materials that the society demands, and that number does not take into account metallurgical
processes, transport and other mining-related activities
The millennium project_-_q4_2019_-_gemc_vMomentumPR
Millennium holds a sizeable estimated resource of 3.1MMts containing cobalt at 0.14pc (the dominant economic metal), copper at 0.34pc, and gold at 0.12g/t*. What’s more, preliminary hydrometallurgical studies have demonstrated the potential for the recovery of separate cobalt and copper concentrates at rates of more than 95pc.
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and other elements that is resistant to corrosion. The document discusses the history, chemical composition, properties, manufacturing process, energy usage, environmental impacts, industries/mines in Pakistan, and consumption of stainless steel both in Pakistan and worldwide. It notes that stainless steel is recyclable and non-degradable, but mining and production are energy intensive and cause pollution. Pakistan produces around 6 million tons of steel per year including from iron ore mines, and consumes around 800,000 tons of cold rolled steel and 600,000 tons of galvanized steel annually.
Prabhash Gokarn gave a presentation on mineral beneficiation at a workshop in Sukinda, India. He began by discussing a famous 1980 bet between Julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich about resource scarcity. Simon bet commodity prices would decrease due to improved extraction methods, while Ehrlich predicted they would increase due to population growth - Simon won. Gokarn then discussed how beneficiation has benefited various minerals like chrome, manganese, iron ore, and coal by increasing production from lower grade deposits and reducing costs. He concluded that beneficiation has been a "game changer" that has allowed supply to keep up with growing demand despite limited resources.

Brown coal is currently a major source of energy in Victoria, providing 92% of the state's electricity. However, burning brown coal creates significant pollution and carbon dioxide emissions. Closing power stations that use brown coal as fuel would reduce these emissions and lessen environmental damage. While this would eliminate jobs in the brown coal industry, it would improve air quality and public health over the long run. The environmental benefits of closing brown coal power stations outweigh the economic costs.
Electrical wire recycling has been tied to China's demand for copper and infrastructure growth over the past decade. However, China's economic slowdown has reduced its copper scrap imports in recent years, slowing wire recycling in North America. Improved sorting technologies may help recyclers recover more copper and increase purity levels. Developing end markets for recycled plastic wire insulation could also boost the industry, but a long-term solution remains elusive. The future prospects for wire recycling depend on technology advances, capital investment, and innovative uses for recycled materials.
Copper is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has two stable isotopes and exists in native and mineral forms, with the most important ores being sulfides, oxides, and carbonates. Copper is extracted from its ores through a series of chemical, physical, and electrochemical processes including crushing, roasting, smelting, and electrolysis. It has many useful properties and practical applications as a building material, electrical conductor, and in metal alloys like brass and bronze used for plumbing, wiring, cookware, and more. Copper consumption is highest in the building industry, electronics, transportation, and consumer products.
Montanwerke Brixlegg AG is a well-known specialist for copper recycling and refining. Among their recycled copper products are copper cathodes, copper alloys and iron silicate. Their copper cathodes come with a purity of at least 99.99% copper and are certified as Grade A by the London Metal Exchange (LME).
The document provides an overview of raw materials in the industrial value chain. It discusses base metals like iron, copper, aluminum, and zinc that are crucial materials used across many industries. It also covers technology metals including rare earth elements, lithium, and precious metals that are important for modern electronics and green technologies. Maps show the global distribution of key base metal and technology metal deposits. The recycling of raw materials poses challenges and is important for sustainable resource use.
The global sustainable steel market is projected to reach $795.8 billion by 2031 from $327.3 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 8.97% during the forecast period 2022-2031. The growth in the global sustainable steel market is expected to be driven by stringent government regulations, carbon neutrality targets, energy and cost efficiency owing to the use of recycled steel, and a significant increase in steel demand with the scarcity of raw materials and energy.

Cu Basics
What is Copper?
Copper is a malleableand ductile metallicelement that is an excellent
conductor of heat and electricityas well as being corrosion resistant
and antimicrobial. Copper occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust in a
variety of forms. It can be found in sulfide deposits (as chalcopyrite,
bornite, chalcocite, covellite), in carbonate deposits (as azurite and
malachite),in silicate deposits (as chrysycolla and dioptase) and as
pure "native" copper.
Copper also occurs naturally in humans, animals and plants. Organic
life forms have evolved in an environment containing copper. As a
nutrient and essential element, copper is vital to maintaining health.
Life sustaining functions depend on copper.
Copper and copper‐based alloys are used in a variety of applications
that are necessary for a reasonable standard of living. Its continued
production and use is essential for society's development. How society
exploits and uses its resources, while ensuring that tomorrow's needs
are not compromised,is an important factor in ensuring society's
sustainable development.

Copper is one of the most recycled of all metals. It is our ability to
recycle metals over and over again that makes them a materialof
choice. Recycled copper (also known as secondary copper) cannot be
distinguished from primarycopper (copper originatingfrom ores),
once reprocessed. Recyclingcopper extends the efficiencyof use of
the metal, results in energy savings and contributes to ensuring that
we have a sustainable source of metal for future generations.
The demand for copper will continue to be met by the discovery of
new deposits, technologicalimprovements, efficient design, and by
taking advantage of the renewable nature of copper through reuse
and recycling. As well, competition between materials, and supply
and demand principles, contribute to ensuring that materials are
used efficientlyand effectively.
Copper is an important contributor to the national economies of
mature, newly developed and developingcountries. Mining,
processing, recyclingand the transformation of metal into a
multitude of products creates jobs and generates wealth. These
activities contribute to buildingand maintaininga country's
infrastructure, and create trade and investment opportunities.
Copper will continue to contribute to society’s development well into
the future.

But copper’sbenefits extend beyond mechanical characteristics:
▪ Copper is essential to the health of plants, animal and humans.
Deficiencies, as well as excesses, can be detrimental to health.
• Antimicrobial Properties. Due to copper’s antimicrobial
properties, copper and copper alloy products can be used to
eliminatepathogens and reduce the spread of diseases.
▪ Recycling. Copper is one of the most recycled of all metals.
Virtuallyall products made from copper can be recycled and
recycled copper loses none of its chemicalor physical properties.
▪ Energy Efficiency. Copper can improve the efficiencyof energy
production and distributionsystems.Copper makes vital contributions to sustaining and improvingsociety.
Copper's chemical, physical and aesthetic properties make it a material
of choice in a wide range of domestic, industrial and high technology
applications.
Alloyed with other metals, such as zinc (to form brass), aluminum or
tin (to form bronzes), or nickel, for example, it can acquire new
characteristicsfor use in highly specializedapplications. In fact,
society's infrastructureis based, in part, on copper.

Copper in History
Archaeologicalevidence demonstrates that copper was one of the first metals used by humans and was used at least 10,000 years ago for items such as coins and
ornaments in western Asia. During the prehistoric Chalcolithic Period (derived from chalkos, the Greek word for copper), man discovered how to extract and use
copper to produce ornaments and implements. As early as the 4th to 3rd millennium BC, workers extracted copper from Spain's Huelva region.
The discovery that copper, when alloyed with tin, produces bronze, led to the Bronze Age, c. 2,500 BC. Israel's Timna Valley provided copper to the Pharaohs (an
Egyptian papyrus records the use of copper to treat infections and to sterilize water). Cyprus supplied much of the Phoenician, Greek and Roman needs for copper.
"Copper" is derived from the latin Cyprium, literallyCyprian metal. The Greeks of Aristotle's era were familiarwith brass as a valued copper alloy. In South America,
the pre-ColumbianMaya, Aztec and Inca civilizationsexploited copper, in addition to gold and silver. During the Middle Ages, copper and bronze works flourishedin
China, India and Japan.
The discoveries and inventions relating to electricityand magnetism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries by scientists such as Ampere, Faraday and Ohm, and the
products manufactured from copper, helped launch the Industrial Revolution and propel copper into a new era. Today, copper continues to serve society's needs.
Although copper has been in use for at least 10,000 years, innovative applicationsfor copper are still being developed as evidenced by the development of the
copper chip by the semi-conductors industry.

The Global Copper Market and the Commodity
Copper, as any other good or merchandise, is traded between producers and consumers. Producers sell their present or future production to clients, who
transform the metal into shapes or alloys, so that downstream fabricatorscan transform these into different end‐use products. One of the most important
factors in trading a commoditysuch as copper is the settlement price for the present day (spot price) or for
future days.

Copper Usage
Copper is shipped to fabricators mainly as cathode, wire rod, billet, cake (slab) or ingot. Through extrusion, drawing, rolling, forging, melting, electrolysis or
atomization, fabricators form wire, rod, tube, sheet, plate, strip, castings, powder and other shapes. The fabricators of these shapes are called the first users of
copper. The total use of copper includes copper scrap that is directly melted by the first users of copper to produce copper semis. Copper and copper alloy semis can
be further transformed by downstream industries for use in end use products such as automobiles, appliances, electronics, and a whole range of other
copper‐dependent products in order to meet society’s needs. This section provides a range of information about refined copper usage, total use, major uses of
copper and end‐use.

Major Uses of Copper: Electrical
Copper is the best nonpreciousmetal conductor of electricityas it encounters much less resistance
compared with other commonly used metals. It sets the standard to which other conductors are
compared. Copper is also used in power cables, either insulated or uninsulated, for high, medium and
low voltage applications. In addition, copper's exceptional strength, ductilityand resistance to creeping
and corrosion makes it the preferred and safest conductor for commercialand residential building
wiring.
Copper is an essential component of energy efficient generators, motors, transformersand renewable
energy production systems. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, fuel cells and
other technologies are all heavily reliant on copper due to its excellent conductivity.
14. P a g e 1 4
Major Uses of Copper:
Electronics & Communication
Copper plays a key role in worldwide information and
communicationstechnologies.
HDSL (High Digital Subscriber Line) and ADSL
(AsymmetricalDigital Subscriber Line) technology allows
for high‐speed data transmission, includinginternet
service, through the existing copper infrastructureof
ordinary telephone wire.
Semiconductor manufacturers have launched a
revolutionary"copper chip." By using copper
for circuitry in silicon chips, microprocessorsare
able to operate at higher speeds, using less
energy. Copper heat sinks help remove heat
from transistors and keep computer processors
operating at peak efficiency. Copper is also
used extensively in other electronicequipment
in the form of wires, transformers, connectors
and switches.
Copper and copper alloy products are used in domestic
subscriber lines, wide and local area networks, mobile
phones and personal computers.
15. P a g e 1 5
Major Uses of Copper Construction
Copper and brass are the materials of choice for
plumbing, taps, valves and fittings. Thanks in part to its
aesthetic appeal, copper and its alloys, such as
architecturalbronze, is used in a variety of settings to
build facades, canopies, doors and window frames.
Unlike plastic tubing, copper does not burn, melt or
release noxious or toxic fumes in the event of a fire.
Copper tubes also help protect water systems from
potentially lethal bacteria such as legionella.Copper fire
sprinkler systems are a valuable safety feature in
buildings.
Copper roofing, in addition to being attractive,
is well known for its resistance to extreme
weather conditions. Major public buildings,
commercialbuildings and homes use copper for
their rainwater goods and roofing needs.
The telltale green patina finish, that gives
copper the classic look of warmth and
richness, is the result of natural weathering
The use of copper doorknobs and plates exploits
copper’s biostatic properties to help prevent the
transfer of disease and microbes.
16. P a g e 1 6
Major Uses of Copper
Industrial Machinery & Construction
Wherever industrialmachinery and equipment is found, it is a safe bet that copper
and its alloys are present. Due to their durability, machinability and ability to be cast
with high precision and tolerances, copper alloys are ideal for making products such
as gears, bearings and turbine blades.
Copper's superior heat transfer capabilities and ability to withstand extreme
environments makes it an ideal choice for heat exchange equipment, pressure vessels
and vats.
The corrosion resistant properties of copper and copper alloys (such as brass, bronze,
and copper‐nickel)make them especiallysuitable for use in marine and other
demanding environments.
Vessels, tanks, and piping exposed to seawater,
propellers, oil platforms and coastal power stations, all depend on copper's corrosion
resistance for protection
17. P a g e 1 7
Major Uses of Copper
Consumer & General Products
From the beginning of civilizationcopper has been used by various societies to make
coins for currency. Today, countries are replacing lower denomination bills with
copper‐based coins, as these coins last 10, 20 and even 50 times longer. In the United
States, one cent coins and five cent coins contain 2.5% and 75% copper, respectively,
while other U.S. coins contain a pure copper core and 75% copper face.1 In the
recently expanded European Union, the Euro coins, first introduced in 2002,
also contain copper.
Copper and copper‐based products are used in offices, households and workplaces.
Computers,electrical appliances, cookware, brassware, and locks and keys are
just some of the products exploiting copper's advantages. In addition, in areas known
to be copper deficient, copper is used by farmers to supplement livestock and crop
feed.
18. P a g e 1 8
Major Uses of Copper
Transportation
All major forms of transportation depend on copper
to perform critical functions.
Copper‐nickelalloys are used on the hulls of boats
and ships to reduce marine befouling, thereby
reducing drag and improvingfuel consumption.
Automobiles and trucks rely on copper motors,
wiring, radiators, connectors, brakes and bearings.
Today, the average internal combustion engine
contains about 22.5 kg (50 lbs) of copper, while
luxury cars on average contain around 1,500 copper
wires totalling about 1.6 km (1 mile) in length.
Electric vehicles (EVs) contain approximately
four times more copper than conventional
cars. It is used in batteries, windings and
copper rotors used in electric motors, wiring,
busbars and charging infrastructure.
It is estimated that globallyover 5 millionelectric vehicles were on the road in 2018. In an effort to reduce carbon emissions it is expected
that the use of EVs will continue to rise. The demand for EVs is also expected to increase as a result of technology improvements, increased
affordabilityand the deployment of more electric chargers (each EV charger will add 0.7 kg of copper. Fast chargers can add up to 8 kg of
copper each). This increase will result in greater demand for copper. Copper’s superior thermal conductivity, strength, corrosion resistance
and recyclabilityalso make it ideal for automotive and truck radiators. New manufacturingtechnologies, processes and innovative designs
are resulting in lighter, smaller and more efficientradiators.
Copper is used extensively in new generation airplanesand trains. New high‐speed trains can use anywhere from 2 to 4 tonnes of copper,
significantlyhigher than the 1 to 2 tonnes used in traditionalelectric trains.
