How Do you separate copper ore from rocks?
Copper ores, will be heavier than most of the background rocks, and will generally be brightly coloured green or blue. Gravity separation usually suffices to separate the ore. The metal is separated from the ore by heating in a reducing atmosphere to remove sulphides, etc. The final preparation of the metal is by electrolytic refining.
Is gold mining sustainable?
Gold mining CAN be sustainable, but 85% or 90% of the time it isn't. Gold mining is hurting the environment badly, and it blasts away the entire mountains to unearth gold-rich ore. They blast it away with dynamite and large machines. Open-pit mining, Tunnel mining and dredging are a few ways of mining out gold. It hurt the environment because Waste Rock is around the mining area and it's too costly to move further away from the area the waste rock is in. Gold mining puts dust into the atmosphere and that's how they destroy habitats of animals. Well, that's all I have for this :P
How much metal is in rock?
Not all rocks are metal ore bearing. Metal ore bearing rocks may have as little as one ton in every twenty tons of waste rock. Some metals may be in thin veins and require considerable underground mining. Whether it is worth the effort, depends on the price obtainable from selling the refined metal on the world's metal market.

What is copper phytomining?
The world is running out of rich copper ores. Research is being carried out to find new ways to extract copper from the remaining low-grade ores, without harming the environment too much. This research is very important, as traditional mining involves huge open-cast mines that produce a lot of waste rock.Some plants absorb copper through their roots. As a result of this they concentrate these compounds as a result of this. The plants can be burned to produce an ash that contains the copper compounds. This process is known as photomining.
