Super Cycles in Real Metals Prices? (2008, background): “For example, Tilton and Lagos (2007) argue: " the long-run supply curve for most metals rises at first (reflecting the dwindling number of exceptional deposits with unusually low costs), but then levels off and becomes relatively flat… if the relatively flat portion of the supply curve covers the…”
Mineral Resources: Reserves, Peak Production and the Future (2016, background): “[2], that assumed reserves, or some multiplier thereof, were “all there is” and that by applying a given annual rate of consumption, one could model how long the resource would last before disaster ensued (a more detailed analysis is given by [19,41]).”
Low grade ores – Smelt, leach or concentrate? (2010, result): “Sohn (2006) and Tilton and Lagos (2007) have reported similar results for years of supply of copper and nickel to those shown in Table 1.”
Metal supply constraints for a low-carbon economy? (2018, background): “The actual long-term supply of metals is highly dependent on new (mining) technology, cumulative availability curves, and expected and actual prices (Tilton and Lagos, 2007; Yaksic and Tilton, 2009; Gordon et al., 2007).”
