The copper market

Copper’s conductive properties, malleability, tensile strength, slow corrosive process and durability all make the base metal a critical resource, and especially dominant in the global energy transition away from a reliance on hydrocarbons toward renewable energies and electric vehicles, equipment and infrastructure. Over the past year, the price of copper has seen a dramatic escalation, with some analysts anticipating the start of a decades-long commodities super cycle.

The DRC and Zambia have long been famed for their extensive, high-grade copper deposits, the export of which has defined the countries’ economy.
