Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore less than 1 copper and ends with sheets of pure copper called cathodes which will ultimately be made into products for everyday useThe most common types of ore copper oxide and copper sulfide undergo two different processes hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy respectively due to the different Mining copper About 200 years ago the UK was an important world source of copper and tin and there were mines in Cornwall and Devon These mines have now closed and today the biggest copper mines are in Chile Escondida mine and Indonesia Grasberg mine These produce many millions of tonnes of copper ore per year
