I think you meant voltage loss (drop), due to wire resistance. Current measures the number of electrons flowing, and electrons can't get lost unless there is another conductive path. To reduce voltage drop, one simply uses thicker wires or shorter lengths, and the use of ultra-high-purity copper or silver does not address the issue of voltage drop.
