2019 International Copper Industry Summit
The recently completed Summit in Shanghai with over 300 attendees and 45 speakers represented over 80% of the copper end-use market. The 2019 International Copper Industry Summit (ICIS), co-organized by International Copper Association (ICA) and Jiangxi Copper Corporation and under the guidance of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), just took place in […]
Copper By Design
The breathtaking uses of copper are featured by this year’s North American Copper in Architecture winners. 15 new buildings earned a spot in the latest Copper & Architecture awards (NACIA). The 2019 NACIA winner-Arizona State University’s LEED Platinum seeking building, the Biodesign Institute C-is wrapped in a screen of thousands of perforated, naturally finished copper […]
Smart Homes Boost Copper
An International Copper Association study shows copper use in smart homes will reach 1.5 million tonnes a year by 2030. Demand from smart wiring, connected gadgets, batteries, energy storage and high tech appliances is already doubling copper demand by 2021 says the study. Copper is found in smart home hubs, switches, routers, wiring and lithium- […]
Cool Copper
The Australian copper industry has developed a new range of tubes to handle large scale refrigeration. The addition of transcritical CO2 refrigerant systems for large scale refrigeration applications, initially for freezers in retail food outlets, requires tubes of higher strength than previously available in the market. The previous range of tubes catered for pressure ratings […]
Can Copper Corrode?
Generally no-even after centuries under soil-but there are some underground situations where it can, including: abnormally aggressive soils localized and long-line-type concentration cells created by differences in soil composition the action of stray direct currents (DC) flowing in the ground faulty design and workmanship certain conditions created by alternating currents (AC) thermogaivanic effects galvanic action […]
Mapping Copper Risks
New study maps risks the mining industry must overcome to unlock new copper reserves. Australian researchers have identified a matrix of risks including environmental, social or governance that could impede future copper discoveries. University of Queensland geologist Professor Rick Valenta said copper would be crucial in a renewable-powered future, but global supplies were far from […]
Remote Mines, City Riches?
Mines may be out of sight for most of us, but they’re having a direct impact on all our lives. Well that’s the take out from new figures showing the Queensland resources sector delivered $62.9B to the State’s economy in 2017-18. Up 14% on the previous year. Queensland Minerals Council summed it up “Brisbane is […]
Indian Copper Demand On The Rise
India’s copper consumption is set to more than double over next decade says expert. The prediction comes from J.C. Laddha, Chief Executive Officer of Birla Copper, one of the country’s top copper smelters. Speaking at the Asia Copper Conference in Shanghai in November, Mr Laddha was quoted in the media as saying the rising demand […]
Copper’s “Belt & Road” Boom
BHP Billiton says China’s global infrastructure initiative “Belt & Road” will have a bigger impact on copper demand than first predicted. Often described as a 21st century “silk road, it is made up of a “belt” of overland corridors and a maritime “road” of shipping lanes. In the latest “episode” of BHP’s blog on the […]
Discovering Copper
Fewer new copper discoveries could lead to significant long term global shortages says a new report. S&P Global Market Intelligence says “only 140 million significant tonnes of copper were discovered in the last 10 years, a dramatic reduction on the 18-year period before the past decade.” The report found that “only 29 significant discoveries were made worldwide […]
Copper Rising
The use of copper is growing rapidly and especially in China says new study that also looks at potential impact of copper recycling. Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI have developed a model to track the global flow of copper over time or, as they say, “from cradle, to grave, […]
