Roland Harings, CEO of refined copper producer Aurubis, said that while the EU currently produces 15% of the company’s copper needs, that may not continue in the future. Stating that every mine eventually runs out of copper, Harings noted that it is crucial that new mining projects are <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/eu-industry-copper-idAFL8N35O655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved in a time</a><u>ly manner</u> because these project can take several years from approval to production.</p> <p>Harings also emphasized the importance of fair competition with China and other nations to allow the metals recycling industry to flourish. As long as there is a level playing field and each player in the market adheres to industry standards, Harings said, he has no problems competing with other companies.</p> <p>The current market dynamics paint a bullish picture for mining companies such as <a href="https://www.miningnewswire.com/clients/canada-nickel-company-inc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canada Nickel Company Inc.
