Decarbonization, including the electrification of the vehicle sector, military demand and the energy hunger of growing AI data centers are to blame. It often takes up to 20 years before a new copper mine is ready for production. What could boost copper supply is the high price of gold. This is because around half of the copper mined comes from polymetallic deposits. Reserves and resources indicate the extent to which raw materials are available. Reserves are deposits that have already been discovered, evaluated and are economically viable. Resources are larger and also include potentially profitable deposits and undiscovered deposits. Copper reserves are currently estimated to amount to around 1,000 million tons of copper. Undiscovered and identified copper resources account for up to an estimated 3,500 million tons of copper. However, economic conditions in mining are changing and technological progress, which devours copper, is progressing.

The amount of copper could grow if the copper that lies dormant in deep-sea nodules is added. However, a lot would still have to be invested in exploration efforts for this to happen. Even if copper is unlikely to run out, there is a threat of shortages that could make the metal more expensive. And this is despite the fact that copper is one of the few raw materials that can be recycled repeatedly, with hardly any performance being lost. As copper will be increasingly used due to a growing population, innovative technologies and sustainability considerations, the metal should develop well in terms of price. Although China’s important construction industry is still weakening, China’s economy is growing and is receiving stimulus measures. And secondly, the use of copper in China’s construction industry only really took off a few years ago, so there should still be huge potential here.
