Resumen

Es probable que las tendencias del aumento de la producción de minerales continúen a medida que aumenta la población mundial y los niveles de vida. Las oportunidades para la exploración y la investigación metalúrgica son particularmente interesantes para ciertos productos minerales. Con un 19% de la población mundial y una economía en crecimiento, China es líder en la producción de muchos productos básicos, pero necesita importar muchos otros. Con el 17% de la población, India es un importante productor y consumidor emergente. Aquellos productos con precios altos en relación con su abundancia, grandes mercados y una producción limitada de China (<19% del total mundial) probablemente sean los más atractivos. Estos incluyen oro, elementos del grupo del platino, uranio, litio, cobalto, niobio, titanio, potasio y hierro.
