Chalcopyrite is made up of copper, iron and sulfur - CuFeS2. It appears as a yellow mineral sulfide sometimes partially weathered with greenish or bluish copper minerals and yellow to red iron minerals limonite or hematite. Chalcopyrite is generally mined for its copper content. As a by product of almost all copper mining there is generally a small amount of gold or silver content in the ore.
What else can I help you with?
What mineral ore is copper contained in?
Copper is typically extracted from copper ores such as chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, and malachite.
How is chalcopyrite mined?
Chalcopyrite is typically mined through open-pit or underground mining methods. In open-pit mining, large equipment is used to remove the ore from the earth's surface. Underground mining involves tunnels and shafts to access the ore deposits. Chalcopyrite is then extracted and processed to separate the copper from the other minerals.
What element can be extracted from seawater?
Sodium chloride (salt) is the most commonly extracted element from seawater. Other elements that can be extracted include magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
Compounds combined with the element sulfur is what kind of mineral?
Compounds combined with the element sulfur form sulfide minerals, which are a type of mineral that commonly includes minerals such as pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite.

Where is metal discovered?
Iron is extracted from iron ore. Copper is extracted from several ores, Chalcopyrite being one.
What type rock of is Chalcopyrite?
Chalcopyrite is a metallic mineral formed by the evaporation of superheated water escaping an igneous intrusion (such as a magma chamber). Minerals form as these liquids cool at various heats, and distances away from the intrusion. Copper is the metal that can be extracted from the mineral chalcopyrite.
