Why would it be profitable to reopen copper mines to mine ore that's just 0.5 percent copper?
A low grade copper mine might be re-opened if: 1) If copper prices go up. 2) It's a massive deposit, easily extracted, close to rail lines or shipping. 3) If it's found with something else, like silver or gold, that boosts the value. 4) During war, or major copper shortage. 5) If cheap new refining methods are discovered.

Why is silver mining costs 5.25 dollar per ounce and the market price 27 dollars?
Because the mining cost is not $5 an ounce. Silver is not profitable to mine by itself. It comes up as a secondary product of existing mines for other metals. To mine for silver alone would cost around $50-$100 an ounce. It is only ten times more plentiful than gold. Does it really make sense to you that gold would cost $500-$900 an ounce to mine and silver only $5? The reason we are running out is because all we get is table scraps from mines for other things.
