Copper Mining and Production Processes Explained

Copper mining. The following gives an overview of how copper is extracted from its ore and converted into pure metal. The ore is removed from the ground in either open pit or underground mines. Underground sinking a vertical shaft into the earth to reach the copper ore and driving horizontal tunnels into the ore.

How Mining Works Resolution Copper

The process works like this: A wet grinding process turns the crushed rock into a fine sand. The ground rock is then mixed with chemicals and additional water and placed into a series of tanks. Air is passed through the tank and the copper These bubbles containing copper are skimmed and filtered

Copper Mining and Processing: Processing of Copper Ores

Copper mining is usually performed using openpit mining, in which a series of stepped benches are dug deeper and deeper into the earth over time. To remove the ore, boring machinery is used to drill holes into the hard rock, and explosives are inserted into the drill holes to blast and break the rock.

Underground Mining Methods of Copper

Eagle Mine Mining Process

Modern mining practices allow us to remove the nickel and copper ore from the underground mine safely, while protecting the environment and surrounding communities.

2. Mining Methods Copper

Open pit mining is the most widely used technique of mining copper today. It is accomplished by creating and using benches or terraces to gradually reach deeper under the earth's surface. Underground mining is used when the copper ore is not near the earth's surface. Miners dig a shaft into the ore deposit vertically or a horizontal tunnel (or adit) in order to do this.
