The price slump lasted until 2004 which saw a price surge that had copper reaching $9,000 per tonne in the May 2006, but it eventually fell down to $7,040 per tonne in early 2008. [93] When the slump came, it hit some copper mining countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo (D.R.C.) very hard.
However, only a tiny fraction of these reserves is economically viable with present-day prices and technologies. Estimates of copper reserves available for mining vary from 25 to 60 years, depending on core assumptions such as the growth rate. [36] Recycling is a major source of copper in the modern world.

[5] This practice started in 1966, when Zambia, Chile, and most Copper-producing countries abandoned fixed price copper contracts, and announced that they would set copper contract prices based the average monthly price of the nearest ...
Copper mining activity increased in the early 2000s because of increased price: the price increased from an average of $0.76 per pound for the year 2002, to $3.02 per pound for 2007. [2] A number of byproducts are recovered from American copper mining.
The mine will produce 4.1 billion pounds of copper equivalent over 32 years of mine life. It includes an after-tax net present value at an 8% discount rate of $1.24 billion.
