The smelting process involves heating and melting ore to extract metal. Refining refers to any process increasing the grade or purity of the metal. The result of the refining process for copper production is copper cathode, which is generally 99.9 percent pure. The figures below represent global production and trade of refined copper (ICSG, 2015).
