Typically about 0.5% to 2%.
It depends upon nature of ore the most common ore of copper is Copper pyrite CuFeS2. the extraction of copper from this ore involves the following steps, 1-crushing, 2-grinding, 3-concentration of ore, 4-roastiong, 5-smelting, 6- preparation of blister copper and 7- electrorefining of blister copper.
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

The mineral malachite is an ore of copper.
A refinery separates copper from its ore.
An ore rock is a rock that contains valuable minerals or metals that can be extracted and processed for industrial purposes. These minerals are often in high enough concentration to make mining and processing economically feasible. Examples of ore rocks include gold ore, iron ore, and copper ore.
Most copper ore occurs as copper in combination with oxygen, yes.
The most common ore of copper is Copper pyrite CuFeS2 but other ores are also exist.
Copper is typically extracted from the ore chalcopyrite, which is a copper iron sulfide mineral. Other ores that contain copper include bornite, chalcocite, and covellite.
Copper Ore.
The chemical formula for copper ore can vary depending on the type of ore. For example, chalcopyrite, which is a common copper ore, has a chemical formula of CuFeS2. Other copper ores may have different chemical compositions.
