Copper ore
Copper ore is a mineral deposit that contains high concentrations of copper, enough to be economically extracted and processed. Chile is the world's largest producer of copper.
The extraction of copper from copper ore involves various processes, such as grinding and smelting.
It has numerous uses, including electrical, construction, renewable energy, agriculture, health and medicine, coins, and art.
The main ore of copper is chalcopyrite, which is often associated with other base metal ores, such as those containing gold.
