The copper ore in Chilean porphyry deposits is often associated with molybdenum minerals. This copper–molybdenum (Cu–Mo) sulfide generally mined from various locations the mining site; thus, mineral composition, oxidation degree, particle size, and grade vary. Therefore, operation, it common to blend ores spots then process them using flotation. In this study, floatability of five types Cu–Mo b...

The discovery and development of metal as a tool medium is topic global interest. A fundamental research goal involves establishing the timing human experimentation with naturally occurring copper ore, which commonly associated sedentary, agrarian-based societies. However, in North America, there well-documented millennia-scale exploitation media by small, seasonally mobile hunter-gatherer grou...

Freeport Indonesia is one of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. affiliate companies. conducted a series mining and exploration processes for ore containing gold, silver, copper. Grasberg the location in PT Freeport, Indonesia. This research aimed to determine distribution gold (Au) particles rock samples with relatively high content. The method used analyzing content was Fire Assay. result...

The Lala copper area in Huili County, Sichuan Province, China, is favored by superior regional metallogenic geological conditions due to its location an extremely important copper–iron belt southwest and it has witnessed the formation of a series unique iron–copper deposits following superposition multiple tectonic events. In recent years, major mineral exploration breakthroughs have been achie...

To construct copper heap leaching structures, a stepped heap of ore is placed over an isolated sloping surface and then washed with sulphuric acid. The isolated bed of such a heap consists of some natural and geosynthetic layers. Shear strength parameters between these layers are low, so they form the possible sliding surfaces of the heaps. Economic and environmental considerations call for stu...
