Is It correct that if there is copper in rock then oil is close by?

No. It doesn't make much sense. I couldn't find anywhere on the internet that supports this theory.
Geologists in search of oil, look for areas where sufficient organic material has been deposited and confined for long periods of time (millions of years).
In looking for oil, geologists will take close examination of the mineralogy of the rock, to identify the geological age. They are looking for depositional basins that were in existence for enough time to allow oil to form (generally at least 20 million years). So finding copper minerals will help them know that the general area is very old.
However, if the copper or other minerals are found in metamorphic rock, then the hydrocarbon potential in the general area may be much less.

Give examples of mixtures that can be separated with decanting?
One example of a mixture is rock and copper ore.These are separated by froth flotation.Froth flotation is when the crushed copper and ore is mixed with water and a variety of different chemicals, and air is forced through the water making bubbles which carry the copper (and not the rock) to the surface. From the surface the copper can be collected and smelted.During smelting the copper can be mixed with other substances to get rid of impurities, and these substances float on top of the molten copper as slag. The slag can be poured off or smelted again to pick up any more traces of copper still left behind.The smelting technique is also used for other minerals like gold and tin.I hope this answers your question.
