""New mines are taking longer to build and 60% of today’s mines will deplete or go underground by 2021. Supply is unlikely to increase meaningfully while China continues to lead strong demand growth.""

Let us not forget the demand from grubby Surrey drunkards and druggies!



Surrey pushing tighter copper theft laws

Published: Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Surrey will propose a resolution to deal with the growing problem of metal theft, especially copper wires from lamp standards, at the Union of BC Municipalities convention this week.

The city wants the provincial government to create legislation to make it harder for metal thieves to fence their loot.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says the city already has tough rules to deal with the problem but says they need to be uniform throughout the province.

If we've all got the same rules in place somebody from Vancouver who has stolen scrap metal can't come out to Langley and sell it," Watts said Monday.

"If we're all playing with the same set of rules it makes it a little easier to regulate."

Watts said the city has made strides in trying to control the problem.

City bylaw officers monitor scrap metal dealers who are obligated to take drivers' licence numbers from prospective sellers. The dealers also cut cheques rather than offer cash.

"There are a few things we've done here but that's not going to stop them from selling it in Langley," she said.

Tougher fines and pulling business licences from dealers who violate the rules may be in the mix.

Between January and May of 2007, metal thieves have cost the city $766,500. SHOCKING
