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.

impure copper is added as an anode into a copper sulfate solution while Pure copper is the Cathode. After an hour or so, the Copper ions move towards the Cathode increasing size of the Pure copper, while the anode has shrinked and leaves sludge

Copper ore, usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through a chemical reaction, rather than a mechanical separation as with washing. It needs to be ground and heated to separate out the copper metal from the compound.
What are the uses of ORe?
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).
