The ore deposition process at the Ak-Sug deposit was accompanied by a change in the phase and chemical composition of the ore-forming fluid. The early high-temperature fluid of the porphyry copper stage was heterogeneous and composed of an aqueous vapor and chloride brine with high metal contents, which is evident from daughter ore mineral ...

Overview In September 2024 Brazil's Copper Ore exports accounted up to $418M and imports accounted up to $68, resulting in a positive trade balance of $418M. Between September 2023 and September 2024 the exports of Brazil's Copper Ore have decreased by $-52.6M (-11.2%) from $471M to $418M, while imports decreased by $-8.08M (-) from $8.08M to $68.
The Khetri Copper Belt of the Aravalli-Delhi Fold Belt in western India hosts Cu (± Au ± Ag ± Co ± Fe ± REE ± U) mineralization that is likely of iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) type. The study on the Madan-Kudan deposit in this belt documents four vein types: Type-1 (pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± magnetite ± biotite ± scapolite ± amphibole ± chlorite), Type-2 (chalcopyrite …

Malachite is a carbonate mineral with chemical composition of Cu2CO3(OH)2. Possibly the earliest ore of copper, malachite is believed to have been mined in the Sinai and eastern deserts of ancient Egypt from as early as …
Native Copper was the only source of copper until the turn of the century, when extraction methods were improved. The copper ore s are far more abundant than Native Copper, and are …
The chemical composition of Chilean copper sulfide ores in terms of Cu and Fe concentrations are shown in Table 3A, whereas Table 3B shows a more detailed chemical composition of copper sulfide ores from northern Chile. Note that the copper concentration varies between approximately 0.7 and 2.1 wt% depending on the region.

Question: Roasted was copper ore with the following (weight %) composition (dry analysis): Cu: 8.8 ; SiO2 : 19.0 ; Fe: 29.7 ; Al2O3 : 5.6 ; CaO: 0.3 ; S: 36.6 The wet ore carried 9% H2O. The ore was roasted down to a sulphur content of 6.8%, dry. Assume that 5% of the copper forms CuO and the remainder stays un-oxidised as Cu2S.
Magmatic fertility to generate porphyry- and high-sulfidation copper ore deposits generally develops, not at the scale of individual igneous complexes, but rather at the scale of petrochemical provinces spanning hundreds of kilometres of arc length, and containing many igneous complexes. The extent and duration of copper metallogenic provinces and epochs are …
Early on, ore was separated into "a mixed copper-nickel ore, copper pyrites, pyrrhotite and diorite rock," with nickel content 1.28-8.12% and copper 0.49%-15.71% between 1892-991. It was at Creighton, mined from 1901, that pyrrhotite with a 2.3:1 nickel copper ratio was discovered and became synonymous with Monel's natural composition.

However, copper oxide ores tend to have the characteristics of strong surface hydrophilicity, high combination rate, fine particle size, serious mud problems, and complex mineral composition [8,9]. Therefore, it is difficult to recover copper oxide resources efficiently by conventional copper sulfide ore separation method.
