More than 4000 years ago, the Phoenicians settled on a territory that today belongs to Lebanon and part of it to Syria. They occupied a narrow strip of land between the Lebanese Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, of approximately 25 miles wide and 125 miles long.

Despite of this apparent unfavorable condition, their coast was marked by a landscape suitable for ports at their main cities and their lands were filled with cedar trees, which provided the wood for their ships. Besides that, they stood at the main waypoint for commercial Asian caravans that traveled to trade with the big nations of the Mediterranean, like Greece and Thrace.

maksim [4K]

The volume of miners and industries using copper in the 20th century presented an exponential growth. Mining tends to extract the highest grade resources first, once they are the most profitable. With the intense activity achieved during the last century, the higher grade non renewable sources were quickly depleted, forcing the industry to start exploring lower grades sources to satisfy the demand.

It is also noteworthy that mining copper of higher quality causes more damage to the environment, having its protocols and restrictions consequently addressed by the legislation. Therefore the costs of mining 5% copper might be outweighed by a higher margin of profit from 0.5% copper which also is less damaging to the environment.
