Resourcing Future Generations White Paper: Mineral Resources and Future Supply
The primary purpose of this White Paper is to stimulate discussion among academia, industry, national geological surveys and research funders and to invite comment.
The paper seeks to set out the issues focussed on resource/reserve estimation and supply/demand modelling and the uncertainties inherent in those methodologies. Are the tools which we use to drive business models and capital investment around the world conservative in their ability to ensure that, in the long term, our future generations have options for resourcing their future world? Is there a problem and, if so, what contribution can the geoscience community make, working with other disciplines to improve knowledge and understanding?
