Copper: Humanity’s first and most important future metal
Millions of feet of copper wiring will be required for strengthening the world’s power grids, and hundreds of thousands of tonnes more are needed to build wind and solar farms.
China Development Bank (CDB), one of the country’s three policy banks, has signed two agreements with Kazak copper giant Kazakhmys PLC, granting the mine and refinery operator 1.34 billion U.S. dollars and 1 billion yuan (158 million U.S. dollars) for a new project.
