Some big copper mines have devastated the surrounding countryside due to acid mine drainage. Ducktown in Tennessee (see above) is a famous site still recovering from copper mining and smelting in the 1900s-60s. The Butte copper pit, once the mine closed, became one of the first Superfund sites thanks to a lake that filled the mine pit …

Its price nearly doubled from 2019 to 2020 in the US. That's partly because copper's role in the transition to clean energy cannot be overstated. "We're really going to have to re-engineer ...

BMO forecast the 2023 benchmark at $85 a tonne and 8.5 cents per pound, with an upward skew. This year the benchmark was set at $65 per tonne and 6.5 cents per pound, but China's top copper ...

Extraction of copper from ore begins with pre-treatment. Due to the decreasing concentration of copper in ores, this is an important step to decrease the volume of material and to increase the grade of copper in the ore. Most copper ores will only contain a small percentage of copper mineral, with the average grade being below 0.6% copper.

The objective of this study was to investigate optimum grind of a blended copper ore comprising sulphide and oxide minerals with a view to achieving an optimal flotation performance in the treatment of the …
