Overview: This page contains the latest trade data of Copper ores and concentrates.In 2018, Copper ores and concentrates were the world's 31st most traded product, with a total trade of $64.2B. Between 2017 and 2018 the exports of Copper ores and concentrates grew by 9.76%, from $58.5B to $64.2B. Trade in Copper ores and concentrates represent 0.35% of total world trade.
While most mines operate with copper concentrations of between 0.2 and 0.8 %, some of the richest ore bodies, located in central to southern Africa, can contain 5–6% copper. According to the US Geological Survey, since 1950, reports have regularly shown that there have always been, on average, 40 years of copper reserves and over 200 years of resources available.
