LONG-TERM SCENARIOS AND TECHNOLOGICAL VOLATILITY
• Scenarios related to « technology metals » are of great value to assess CURRENT TRENDS and to identify precisely WHAT to monitor. But they are not to be confusecwith forecasts. It is impossible to forecast the demand for minerals and metals thatessential used in 1 or a few applications.
• The pace of innovation is such that forecasting beyond a few ( 2 – 3) years appears veryrisky.

• Future collectible metal-bearing waste streams will not-only be widely heterogeneous,in their composition, but also by the nature of the metals and minerals they will include
• Flexible easy-to-adapt processes will be needed as well as the capacity to anticipatemarket variations
• This will need to be done considering metal market prices.

THE NEED FOR RESOURCES EFFICIENCY
• Mining and metallurgy have deep impacts on the global and local ecosystems thattechnological can partly help to address
• The production of aluminium, cement and steel use about 14% of the current wordenergy production
• In Chile (34% of the world mine copper production) each tonne of copper producedgenerates 99.3 tonnes of tailings which can contain As, Cu, Mo, Re, Te, Se and, in general, the further development of copper mining faces dire constraints thatmetallurgy
• Sustainable development and resource efficiency (ideally: no waste, no emissions, no energy and water use) issues will become of rapidly growing importance if the dire predicaments of global ecosystemic collapse are to br invalidated. A central question is: how much time does humanity still have to change its linear economy paradigm
• Metallurgy jas an important role to play in this.

According to the projections established by COCHILCO, the Chilean Copper Commission (Ministry of Mines), Chile’s copper production may grow very little (less than 2% from 2015 to 2027) due to interdependent energy and water availability issues. In 2014, Chile produced 31% of the world copper…
