#DYK The average electric vehicle requires three times to amount of copper (165 lbs.) as internal combustion engine vehicles. #factfriday #copper #miningmatters

[BlkButteCopper @BlkButteCopper]

According to a US Geological Survey in 2014, identified resources contain around 2.1 billion tons of #copper, while unidentified resources contain around 3.5 billion tons. So more #copper is present in deposits not yet discovered than those which have been discovered. #factfriday
