Copper Mining and Extraction Sulfide Ores
Mining copper About 200 years ago the UK was an important world source of copper and tin and there were mines in Cornwall and Devon. These mines have now closed and today the biggest copper mines are in Chile (Escondida mine) and Indonesia (Grasberg mine). These produce many millions of tonnes of copper

2016-6-21 The copper is used in many applications. Copper is strong, and has excellent thermal and electrical properties. It is used mainly in electrical wiring (60%), roofing and plumbing (20%) and industrial machinery (15%). Copper is present in our homes, our cellphones, our computers and our cars – the average car contains 1.5 km of copper

Copper Leaching Method - Metallurgist Mineral
2019-4-19 Copper Leaching Practices. For centuries small amounts of copper have been recovered from acid mine-drainage waters. In recent years, the expansion of copper-bearing waste dump leaching for copper recovery has established a technological basis that is rapidly converting the art of copper leaching into a science.

2018-3-11 Shrinkage stoping is an overhand mining method that is used for self-supporting vertical ore bodies. In this method, ore is mined in horizontal slices, starting from the bottom to the top of the stope. The broken ore is left in the mined-out stope and serves as a support to the stope walls and a working platform for mining
