What reactions extract the copper metal from the ore?

There are two main types of reactions used for extracting copper
form its ore. In one reaction, copper oxides reduced by carbon to
produce carbon dioxide and pure copper. In the second reaction,
Copper ore is dissolved, then reduced by iron ions to form Cu+
which forces the copper to let go of its impurities and these
copper ions are then fully reduced by a chemical reaction to form
Copper metal.
See related links for more information about the second
reaction.

Why excess copper oxide is used in preparing copper sulphate salt?

Most metal oxides react with dilute acids.The reaction
between an insoluble metal oxide and a dilute acid is often quite
slow so it is possible to observe the progress of the reaction as
the solid reactant disappears as a soluble product is formed. Hence
to enhance the speed of the reaction, excess Copper Oxide is used
in preparing Sulphate Salt.
