This flowchart made of machinery icons explains or expresses in simple but clear terms the step of the Copper Mining and Copper Extraction Process. Starting from either openpit or underground mining and using a different relevant treatment method for oxide or sulphide copper mineral (ore). Having a quick look now at how porphyry ores are treated and the metals extracted. There are two main
Conventional process route The transition to underground mining has enabled 50,000 tpd of conventional crushing, milling and flotation capacity. Copper and magnetite are recovered on behalf of Foskor (a neighbouring mining company) by tollprocessing 20,000 Tpd of marginal ore from stockpiles from the open pit operation.
KonnektaMining has developed on a cost effective process methodology to recover cyanide from the plant tails stream. This process is based on proven process technologies that have been used in the industry for over 50 years. The benefit of this process will include but not be limited to: OPEX savings: Recovery of cyanide.
An analysis of energy usage in the production of refined cathode copper was made from mining ore to cathode copper. In mining copper ore the greatest energy consumers are ore hauling and blasting. Another important factor is the recovery efficiency of the metallurgical processes used to extract the copper. The mining and mineral concentrating energies are directly proportional to the
Figure 1: Overview of copper production Benefication process Figure 2: Overview of a typical beneficiation process at a concentrator Sulfidic copper ores are too dilute for direct smelting. Smelting these materials would require too much energy and very large furnace capacities.
Additionally, todays mining equipment makes it possible to reduce waste and decrease chemical exposure during all phases of the copper mining process. The Basics of Copper Mining and Processing Mined from open pits, copper ore must be crushed as part of the process that occurs between extraction and production.
Ausenco provided engineering and procurement services for the sulphide concentrator to produce copper and molybdenum concentrates. Achievements. One of the largest concentrators Ausenco has designed. The design was leveraged off the concentrator design Ausenco developed for the Bozshakol Project, saving the client considerable manhours and costs.

Copper ores containing chalcopyrite can be concentrated to produce a concentrate with between 20% and 30% copperinconcentrate (usually 2729% copper); the remainder of the concentrate is iron and sulfur in the chalcopyrite, and unwanted impurities such as silicate gangue minerals or other sulfide minerals, typically minor amounts of pyrite, sphalerite or galena.
In this research work various data mining techniques were utilized to model and predict the metallurgical efficiency of a copper concentrator (, recovery and enrichment ratio) as a function of the process variables (, feed copper grade, dosage of flotation reagents, particle size and slurry solids concentration of the feed reported to the flotation circuit).
The copper concentrate is also processed through an acid leach to recover much of the other 20% of the uranium. The pregnant liquor is then separated from the barren tailings and in the solvent extraction plant the uranium is removed using kerosene with an amine as a solvent.
copper mining process. copper mining process :Copper ore divides into ore sulfide,ore oxide and mixing ore according to its oxide rate . The main process for copper ore is flotation, for refractory mixed copper ore and refractory oxide ore, normally use hydrometallurgy process .

Mining. The most viable way to recover the ore body is by a wellestablished underground mining method called block caving. Block caving is safe, environmentally sound, and costeffective for mining a large, deep orebody. In block caving, a large section of ore is initially undercut by drilling and blasting, causing it to collapse under its weight.
