MTECHTIPS;-Copper Mine Capacity Likely to Grow At Average Rate of 2% Per Year.

MTECHTIPS-Copper Study Group (ICSG) released a new edition of its biannual Directory of Copper Mines and Plants that provides global facility-by-facility production capacity and summary country capacity through 2021 recently.

Continued delays in project development are shifting new capacity forward owing mainly to length of project permitting, opposition from local communities and budget/finance constraints. However, recently there has been a favorable trend in capital expenditure and project approval. There is increased interest in seabed copper exploration with projects being evaluated, the first of which is expected to start producing copper concentrates next year in the Bismarck Sea, off Papua New Guinea.
