Abstract: The sustainable use of raw materials does not only concern the environmental impacts of their production and consumption, but also the intergenerational distribution of access to the raw material or the services provided by that material. From this sustainability perspective, current generations should not deprive future generations from economically accessible ores, but they have the responsibility to assure that a sufficient quantity of enriched deposits of primary materials continues to be available for future generations.
