Cheaper copper and other minerals? Big push towards AI, data centres, electrification and generation etc likely to drive more mining.

Mines are such slow beasts though, bust could have already come by the time the capacity comes online

Horrifying images coming out of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, this morning after a massive Russian drone and missile attack overnight.
