FOCUSED ON COPPER
The copper market is forecast to enter a supply deficit in the medium term as output from existing mines declines and demand from traditional and new sources continues to grow.
Increased copper output is essential for the global transition to renewable energy generation and to support increased utilisation of low emission transport technologies, such as electric vehicles.
