Froth flotation is common, hydromettalurgy is also common.
liquid hot shrek sperm which usually comes out like a brick but twice as heavy.
The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
ALL OF THEM ARE EXTRACTED FROM EARTH IN THE FORM OF ORES. IRON IS EXTRACTED IN THE FORM OF:- HAEMATITE, Fe2O3 LIMONITE,2Fe2O3.3H2O MAGNETITE, Fe3O4 IRON PYRITE, FeS2 COPPER IS EXTRACTED IN THE FORM OF:- CHALCOPYRITE, CuFeS2 COPPER GLANCE, CuS CHALCOCITE, Cu2S MALACHITE, CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 CUPRITE, Cu2O CHROMIUM IS EXTRACTED IN THE FORM OF:- CHROMITE, FeCr2O4
ores
Copper rich ores contain Relatively large amount of copper. Copper obtained from rich ores is from better quality than low-grade ores. A low-grade ore doesn't contain very high proportion of valuable copper
In the past protactinium was extracted from the residues of uranium ores; now is extracted from thorium irradiated in nuclear reactors.
Iron is extracted from iron ore. Copper is extracted from several ores, Chalcopyrite being one.
Gold and Copper are chemical elements. No "minerals" can be extracted from them other than 'gold' and 'copper'. They can be extracted from the minerals or 'ores' named in the other answers herein.
The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
I know the following ores of copper Chalcopyrite, Copper Glance, Chlcocite, Malachite, Cuprite
Their importance is that these ores can be extracted into metals .
the ores of copper are chalcopyrite .malachite .azurite. and native copper.
Metals are extracted from various ores that are mined from underground.
Minerals are solid elements or compounds found naturally in the Earth's crust. Those minerals that contain sufficient metal to be of practical and economic use are called ores. Metals are usually extracted from ores using a combination of heating and reduction with carbon in the form of charcoal or coke. Not all metals can be extracted from their ores in this manner and may need to be extracted by a process called electrolysis. Metals with low chemical activity, such a gold and silver are normally found in their pure state. Copper, tin, lead, and iron are more reactive and must be heated with carbon to extract the metals. Aluminum, calcium, sodium and other active metals are extracted using electrolysis. Copper can be extracted from its ores by reduction. One of the common copper ores, malachite, which is composed of mainly copper carbonate, CuCO3xCu(OH)2, is heated to produce copper oxide with the release of carbon dioxide. CuCO3xCu(OH)2 → 2 CuO + CO2 + H2O The copper oxide is then heated with carbon to get copper. 2 CuO + C → 2 Cu + CO2 The resulting copper, however, is pure enough to be used for many industrial applications, but it has to be further refined for electrical uses. That copper is cast into thick sheets known as anodes and are placed in large electrolytic cells filled with a copper sulfate solution. A DC electric current is passed through the cells causing the copper anodes to dissolve and deposits pure copper on the opposite pole called the cathode. The final product is between 99.94 and 99.96% Cu.
Ores of copper(Cu) are: -Chalcopyrite -Malachite -Azurite Native copper can also be found.

Metal ores are used as resources from which metals may be extracted.
