Give it to them, they deserve the larger share of the profits since they're the ones extracting the product and/or allowing their land to be used for copper extraction.

RubberBandMan:   (a) One third of copper is in landfills, (b) one third in use, (c) one third still in ground

I don't believe you can know (c), which makes (a) and (b) highly speculative.  Imma support it anyway, because it pushes a necessary truth, that we should be absolutely be doing more to recycle copper (and many other things), as the need to mine and refine it has diminished.

Copper heap leaching isn't exactly environmentally friendly either.
