Copper is an element that occurs in minor amounts in the earth’s crust. Estimates of average crustal prevalence are on the order of 0.0058 percent by weight. Deposits considered to be economically recoverable at current market prices may contain as little as 0.5 percent of copper or less‚ depending on the mining method‚ total reserves‚ and the geologic setting of the deposit. Here is the flow sheet on how to process copper from Zenith. Copper Process Flow Sheet: Copper ore is first quarried from
