Remember when the world ran completely out of copper?

The world will not run completely out of copper, be we can expect much higher prices.

"Copper and lithium are major exceptions where expected mined supply from announced projects falls short of projected demand in 2035, with implied deficits of 30% for copper and 40% for lithium"

First: I completely agree that extrapolating current ressource use towards a "exhaustion date" is naive, and historically things never worked out that way.

But copper price is still up by >500% since the early 2000s.
