“At the same time, the replenishment rates of copper, zinc, lead, and aluminum do not reach the levels of the aforementioned minerals, which creates an additional impetus for conducting more thorough geological exploration,” said Sharlapaev at the government meeting.
The gold replenishment coefficient is 1.2. This indicates that the volume of explored gold reserves exceeds the volume of gold extraction. For copper, the coefficient is 0.7. The copper reserves recorded by the state, at the current extraction levels, will last for more than 40 years.
