Abstract

The state and reproduction structure of the raw material base of copper for the period of 1993-2021 are shown, and its development for up to 2040 is forecasted. An analysis was performed of the copper mineral reserve movement and of their extinguishing by types of the ore deposits. The risks and limitations are identified, that affect the stability of the raw material base. The necessity of intensification of the early phase geological exploration projects at the expense of the Federal budget is justified for preparation of the forecasted resources and for the creation of a "prospecting potential fund" for copper.
