Processes: copper mining and production Copper is found in natural ore deposits around the world. This page explains the production route taken from ore-containing rock to a final product that is the highest-purity commercial metal in existence and used in a wide
Read MoreCopper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and
Read More2019-11-8 All in all, the processes used in the extraction of copper are often determined by the copper ore natures, mineral processing conditions, investment budget and other factors. It is suggested that the miner should learn about the copper ore properties, and then select the single or combined copper extraction processes by the mineral processing test.

Release of metals from mining sites occurs primarily through acid mine drainage and erosion of waste dumps and tailings deposits. The available methods for predicting acid mine drainage the fate of released metals are briefly reviewed.
