Copper mines could lose over 2 million tonnes in 2020, Eurasian Resources CEO says

摘要

Over two million tonnes of copper mine supply could be temporarily lost this year due to disruptions related to the Covid-19 pandemic and other non-virus factors, the chief executive officer of Eurasian Resources Group Benedikt Sobotka said. This is equivalent to around 10% of 2020 copper mine supply and is double the roughly 5% of planned copper mine production that is typically lost due to unforeseen disruptions in any given year, Sobotka said.
