There is enough copper in the world to last us 10-12 more years but after that the world will have run out of copper!!
Copper left in water for a long period of time can undergo a process called oxidation, where it reacts with oxygen in the water to form copper oxide. This can cause the copper to turn green or develop a patina on its surface. Additionally, prolonged exposure to water can lead to corrosion of the copper over time.
Copper is a metal as it is to the left of the staircase on the Periodic Table. The metalloids are located on the staircase and the nonmetals are to the right of it.
The atomic number of Copper (Cu) is 29. See the Web Links for more information about copper to the left of this answer.
Electrolysis can be used to separate copper from a mixture of powdered copper and sodium chloride. By passing an electric current through the mixture, the copper ions will be attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) where they will be reduced and deposited as solid copper. This process will allow the separation of copper from the sodium chloride.
To calculate the amount of copper mined, multiply the amount of Earth removed by the copper content percentage. In this case, 120,000 metric tons * 0.7% copper = 840 metric tons of copper mined during that week.
It is estimated that there is about 3.5 billions tons of undiscovered copper in the world. Copper has been rising in value for the past several years.

The element to the left of copper on the periodic table is nickel. Nickel has the atomic number 28, while copper has the atomic number 29.

There are only about 5900 piping plovers left in the world.
The most copper in the world appears to lie around the Pacific Rim. Much of it is down the west coast of North and South America. The country that takes most advantage of this is Chile.Although there are copper mines in Canada, USA, Mexico and Peru, the six largest copper mines in the world are all in Chile
