All our resources come from the crust. Cobalt is usually extracted as a by-product of copper and nickel mining.
Smelting is the process which ore goes through so that a metal can be extracted from it. It involves heating the rock to very high temperatures. Copper, for instance, can be extracted at temperatures of about 1200 °C.Actually, smelting is a process when a metal which is more reactive than copper needs to be extracted. For example, zinc is more reactive than copper so it has to be extracted smelting. It can be extracted by heating its ore with charcoal aka smelting.--different person
2Cu + O2 ==> 2CuO product is copper(II) oxide4Cu + O2 ==> 2Cu2O product is copper(I) oxide
The first step is extracting copper from its ore, including the sulphate, to remove waste constituents like limestone and silica so that the copper and other minerals of value are concentrated into a product containing between 20 and 30 percent copper. The second step is to smelt (blast furnace with coal) or leach (reacting with an acid then using electrolysis) the product which also removes a large amount of impurity elements like iron and for sulphide ores, sulfur. The final step, refining, removes the last traces of the impurity elements and produces a copper product of 99.99 percent purity.
Iron, copper and gold :)

copper is extrcted in diffrent country
copper
Decomposition
When a plant grows it can absorb metal compounds. So when the tree has grown the plant is burnt and the copper is extracted.
copper is extracted by smelting by taking the copper out and melting it down.
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.
yes
Copper is extracted from minerals; but the body of a human being contain copper because copper is indispensable for the life.
Iron is extracted from iron ore. Copper is extracted from several ores, Chalcopyrite being one.

Copper was discovered by ancient potters whose furnaces were hot enough to produce copper from the ore malachite
