“…For over 100 years, mineral commodity prices in real terms have not increased (Tilton et al, 2018). For this reason, mining companies are under considerable pressure to reduce the costs of their operations.…”

“…Examining this rule, we see accelerating consumption, mainly due to the rapid increase of consumption in China since the turn of the millennium. Although there are no indications that we are facing a disturbance of the dynamic balance between reserves and consumption in the near or medium future (Tilton et al, 2018, Wellmer 2008, the rising consumption calls for measures to increase raw material efficiency as much as possible. Good examples are the efforts within the European Union to improve the circular economy, i.e., to increase the share of secondary materials (EC 2018).…”

“…Similar questions dealing with the threat of physical depletion and the availability of resources for the future have been recurrently addressed in many studies (e.g. Govett and Govett, 1972;Skinner, 1976;Cook, 1976;Tilton, 2003Tilton, , 2006Yaksic and Tilton, 2009;Rosenau-Tornow et al, 2009;Gunn, 2011;Shodde, 2010aShodde, , 2017cCrowson, 2011;Prior et al, 2012;Henckens et al, 2009;Sverdrup and Ragnasdóttir, 2014;Calvo et al, 2016;Northey et al, 2018;Tilton et al, 2018). However, despite the simple and convincing logic behind the "fixed stock paradigm" (strongly influenced by the Malthusian perspective), the main causes that determine mineral production are related to externalities and other factors directly or indirectly involved in the "opportunity cost paradigm" .…”

“…However, there are few long-standing sectors that remain as critical to the future development of society as the mining industry, which increasingly depends on the stability of long-term policies (e.g. Tilton et al, 2018) and intensive knowledge to minimize the high-risk and the intensive capital that it needs to run. In this context, what are the priority issues and fields of action that will make the most difference and who will drive the change process?…”

“…On the demand side, consumers will reduce material intensity or develop and use alternative materials by substitution. On the supply side, higher prices encourage the expansion of existing sources of primary supply, the finding and developing of new primary resources, as well as increasing recycling and secondary production (Tilton et al 2018). The combination of these dynamics keeps the so-called feedback control cycle of mineral supply in motion and brings back to balance demand and supply (Wellmer and Dalheimer 2012;Wellmer and Hagelüken 2015).…”
