Hello everyone

I’ve got one update to announce, and a question to ask…

I’m trying to find a survey or website covering the world resources, known and estimated, for the minerals, ores, rare earth elements used in the industry… In other words, for the non-renewable raw materials our civilization uses at lightning speed.

I want to know how long we can still consume resources at the current speed we’re using them, and how many years of use we still have in stock, according to the volumes already known to exist, and estimated to be bound to be found. The data exists, but I’m not sure a public synthesis exists.

For instance, last year, I read we had, at 2008’s consumption rate, for 75 years of uranium resources known as being available for extraction, and a total of 3 times more estimated to be possible to dig out, however the world consumption was bound to be multiplied by 4 in the medium term, an idea that isn’t exceptionally good news if you dream to see Civilization (with a capital letter C) last a little more after the peak oil (currently going on, sigh).
(And if the prospect of a peak oil + a medium term uranium shortage + rare earths shortage isn’t ruining your mood, please google the name “Dmitry Orlov”, or ask google how the working population // retired people ratio is evolving in China)
(update : if you’re brooding now, OK : I apologize, read this and stop whining)

I know some common materials could be used for thousands of years (coal), whereas some others wouldn’t last two more centuries in the best case and with fingers crossed.
Would you know of a website or a public study covering this subject ? So far, the best I could find were disputed estimations for just one or two ores/resources, or the peak oil documents available for everyone even if nobody gives a fuck in the public opinion, never more -_-

– Second, the update.

I have yet to understand why, but the pictures weren’t correctly numbered in my last Yuki Seto share, a repack of the uncensored versions of Maybe I’m A Beast + Maybe You’re A Beast + Princess And The Crow.
Starting from scratch, I fixed it, and, if you care to know, the Zip I’m now sharing is correct, at last. You can find this pack on this page.
I’m sorry for the trouble, so as a compensation, if you need to download it again, here’s a link less annoying than my usual links : a megaupload mirror.
