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
Low-grade copper ore contains a small amount of copper (1% or lower) and a big amount of waste rock. The problem with low-grade copper is that it breaks down and melts more easily than copper ore.
Using low-grade ore as a copper source can be problematic because it requires more energy and resources to extract the copper from the ore. This leads to increased environmental impact and higher costs of production compared to using higher-grade ore. Additionally, the extraction process may produce more waste and emissions, impacting local ecosystems and communities.
The copper will explode ??? * it gets wet * the copper ore goes through several stages of hydration as the water is absorbed, changing its crystal structure. This is a form of structural change but I've never seen it explode.
A mineral that is considered valuable and can be used to make products such as steel is called an ore. Ores contain high concentrations of valuable minerals that can be extracted and processed to extract the desired element or metal. Examples of ores include iron ore, which is used to make steel, and copper ore, which is used to make copper.

Copper Ore.
It is very hard and very expensive to remove the copper from that ore.
Low-grade ore refers to mineral deposits containing a lower amount of valuable materials compared to high-grade ore. This means that more material needs to be processed to extract the desired minerals, making it less economically viable to mine.

After the initial smelting to extract copper from the ore it still has to go through electroplating purification.
The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
The method used to extract Cu from its ore depends on the nature of the ore.
It's an ore that doesn't contain a very high proportion of valuable minerals. The term could also be applied to richer ores containing large amounts of undesirable impurities, arsenic for example. Low-grade ores are less valuable than higher-grade ones. Also, recovery rates for low grade ores tend to be lower than for high grade ores - that is, a lower percentage of the total amount of metal in the ore is extracted successfully. The definition of low-grade depends on the resource in question. For copper, low grade ores have less than 1% copper. For gold, an ore having 1% gold by mass would be considered (very) high-grade, as gold is more valuable than copper.
Ore, as in rocks which contain sufficient metal to extract and it is economical to do so. Ores include bauxite, a copper ore. Ores can be used to extract precious metals which in turn can be used for electrical wiring, in the case of copper or as a catalyst, in the case of Haematite, Iron ore (the haber process).
