Description
NEW DATE With its malleable character and high thermal and electrical conductivity, copper has played a major role in our existence on Earth. From a geologic perspective, significant concentrations of copper form via many processes within the Earth’s crust. With the ongoing transition to a green new world, copper will play a role far greater than it ever has in human history.
