- W67175321 abstract "The mining of apparently finite mineral resources is almost unanimously considered as ‘unsustainable’ ‐ yet the scale of modern mineral production is vast and continues to grow exponentially, especially in the face of what could be the biggest global mining boom in history. In recent years there has been increasingly public debate about the concept of ‘Peak Oil’ ‐ that is, oil is a ‘finite’ resource and there are those advocating that production will soon peak and enter an inevitable but permanent decline (quickly becoming an uneconomic commodity shortly after this point). Despite much discussion of ‘Peak Oil’, there is little analysis of the same fundamental issues for minerals and metals. Recent research has begun to compile major data sets on mineral production trends, such as economic resources, ore grades, waste rock (overburden), as well as water, energy, greenhouse and chemical costs of mineral production. At present, there are major global efforts underway to improve energy and water efficiency as well as significantly reduce greenhouse emissions and thereby combat climate change. The compiled data on the environmental costs of mineral production is then used to consider the “sustainable” future of mining, i.e. in a future of declining greenhouse emissions and increasing energy and water efficiency. Ultimately, the world may not physically ‘run out’ of copper, coal, gold or other minerals, but aggregate production must peak and decline as new mining operations become increasingly constrained by low grade mineral deposits, greenhouse emissions and water. Thus, the concept of ‘Peak Minerals’ does appear to be significant, with the timing and severity of the peak fundamentally related to other sustainability constraints." @default.
