Copper Mining and Processing Processing Copper Ores
Copper 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 pyrometallurgy respectively due to the different

Platinum Mining and Refining Education
Mining platinum in placer deposits is a relatively simple process. Dredges scoop the platinum-bearing sand or gravel from riverbeds or mining pits. The material is washed until platinum grains or nuggets are captured and pulled from the surrounding material. Sperrylite or platinum arsenide. Photo from Thomas A. Loomis Dakota Matrix Minerals.

Mining depends on finding good quality ore preferably within a small area. The next step is to get the rocks which contain the mineral out of the ground. Once the ore is on the surface the process of getting the mineral you want out of the rock can start.

gcse 1. Introduction to the Extraction of Metals method
Low grade ores are usually uneconomic to mine and process but high grade ores have a high enough metal content to be worth mining and extracting the metal. The metal ore a mineral or mixture of minerals from which economically viable amounts of metal can be extracted i.e. its got to have enough of the metal or one of its compounds in it

Metallurgic Processes Boundless Chemistry
Metal ores are formed in the process of ore genesis and they are extracted through mining. Extractive metallurgy is the practice of removing valuable metals from an ore and refining the extracted raw metals into a purer form. Hydrometallurgy uses aqueous solutions to extract metals from ores ( leaching ).
