Whether the metal makes the aluminum can that you drink out of or the copper wires in your computer it started out as an ore But the ore s journey to becoming a usable metal is only just beginning when the ore leaves the mineTo get to the bits of iron in the ore you have to smelt it out Smelting involves heating up ore until the metal becomes spongy and the chemical compounds in the ore begin to break down Most important it releases oxygen from the iron ore which makes up a high percentage of common iron or

Copper ore is blasted with explosives and loaded onto transport vehicles by heavy equipment The ore is taken to a processing plant where it is crushed the copper is removed chemically and History Nickel was used industrially as an alloying metal almost 2 000 years before it was isolated and recognized as a new element As early as 200 bce the Chinese made substantial amounts of a white alloy from zinc and a copper nickel ore found in Yunnan province

The simplest method of placer mining is panning Here the miner swirls the mixture in a pan rapidly enough to carry the water and most of the gravel and sand over How much copper needs to be in the ore before you mine the deposit depends on the method you wish to use to extract the copper TL DR Too Long Didn t Read Some geologists also pan for copper or test the soil near places where they believe that copper deposits are located

People first began to smelt copper from ore around 5 000 BC The Copper Age lasted up until the Bronze Age about BC when people learned that by mixing tin with copper they could make the harder metal bronze Where did copper get its name The name comes from the word Cuprum which is the Latin name for the island of Cyprus Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea where the How to get tons of free enameled copper wire Instructabl With Instructables you can share what you make with the world and tap into an do with taking apart TVs just an extra thing to get out of a TV when you take one use the scissors to cut excess tape and the two main wires but DONT cut the

It is exactly what it sounds like a giant hole dug in the ground with roads leading around and up to the top of the mine to facilitate getting machinery in and getting ore out of the mineEach of these categories has it s own unique methods of extracting the gold from the surrounding materials In placer mining the gold is retrieved by metal detecting panning cradling sluicing and

The extraction of copper from ore is normally carried out in three major steps The first step mineral processing is to liberate the copper minerals and remove waste constituents—such as alumina limestone pyrite and silica—so that the copper minerals and other nonferrous minerals of value are concentrated into a product containing between 20 and 30 percent copperOre is first mined then put through a series of processes to refine and purify the copper The USA is the second largest producer of copper in the world The largest copper mine is found in Utah Bingham Canyon Other major mines are found in Arizona Michigan New Mexico and Montana In South America Chile the world s largest producer and Peru are both major producers of copper Large

The use of heavy mining equipment is necessary to dig out large pits in an area with a large deposit of iron ore however because iron does not occur naturally it is necessary to use a blast furnace to separate or refine iron from the other substances in the iron oreCopper minerals and ore are found throughout the Earth’s crust They occur in both sedimentary and igneous rocks The outer 10 km of the crust contains 33 g of copper for every tonne of rock This is not enough to make it commercially viable to extract the rock

I do a lot of mining and have found zig zagging south from Goldshire until you get to the mountains just past Dead Acre and then heading west along the Dagger Hills until you get all the way to Longshore then going north will net about five stacks of copper ore and one stack of tin It takes about 45 minutes but stopping in goldshire and selling off all the stones you picked up gives 11 12 32 Learn the 5 of the more simple ways of extracting copper from its ore

Once you see them there is a possibility that an ore deposit is nearby Other surface methods include among others looking at rivers sediments Since rivers transport soils and rocks from upstream sampling the sediments may reveal an anomaly in a certain commodity of interest that may lie somewhere upstreamOnce the pipes are found and the presence of diamonds is proven true and profitable shanks are inserted into the ground at the ore bearing pipes and huge amounts of soil are extracted In order to make mining efficient and effective the raw rock and soil are typically not examined on site
