| General comment | Copper sulfide ores are a profitable type of copper ore due to their high copper content and the ease of separating copper from them. They are typically processed using pyrometallurgy, which includes steps such as froth flotation, thickening, smelting, and electrolysis. These ores are formed through hydrothermal events in submarine environments, such as in Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits and Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits. The mining grade of copper sulfide ore ranges from 0.3-2%, with an average of approximately 0.81%. |
