Cu
Copper is a ductile metal with high thermal and electrical conductivity and is commonly used in electronics, building materials and renewable energy systems. Economic copper deposits are primarily porphyry, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) or iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) in style. The current rate of exploration and development of major new copper projects will not keep up with the projected demand for the commodity; potentially pushing energy transition goals further into the future.
