Global copper reserves 2023, by country

In 2023, China's copper reserves were estimated at approximately 41 million metric tons. This figure placed China eighth on a global ranking based on copper reserves. World copper reservesCopper is an important metal due to its malleability and excellent electrical and heat conductivity. Some of copper's uses are in architecture due to its corrosion resistance and durability, in electrical motors due to its conductivity, in hospital doorknobs due to its antimicrobial properties, and more. Because it is useful for a variety of purposes, the consumption volume of copper worldwide is quite high. This demand puts a considerable strain on world copper reserves, which many experts believe is diminishing. Copper is completely recyclable, however, with a large proportion of the copper mined throughout history still in use.Copper reserves in Chile Chile has the world's largest copper reserves of any country by far, with 190 million metric tons as of 2023. It is also the world's largest copper producer, having produced about five million metric tons of copper from mines in 2023. Copper plays an important role in the Chilean economy, with a significant share of Chile's GDP attributed to its copper production.

至2023年，我国铜储备量估计约为4100万吨，在全球铜储备排名中位列第八。铜作为一种关键的金属，因其延展性、卓越的导电性和导热性而备受重视。铜的应用领域广泛，包括建筑领域因其耐腐蚀性和耐用性、电气电机领域因其导电性、医院门把手领域因其抗菌特性等。鉴于其用途的多样性，全球铜的消费量相当可观，这一需求对世界铜储备造成了相当大的压力，许多专家认为铜储备正在减少。然而，铜可以完全回收利用，历史上开采的大部分铜至今仍在使用中。智利铜储备：智利拥有世界上最大的铜储备，截至2023年达1.9亿吨，同时也是全球最大的铜生产国，2023年从矿山中生产了约500万吨铜。铜在智利经济中扮演着重要角色，智利国内生产总值（GDP）中有相当一部分归因于铜的生产。
