Native copper can be found in alluvial deposits, granitic and basaltic rock. The biggest ores of copper are the minerals chalcopyrite and malachite. Copper is mined throughout the world and the open pit mines created are the largest man-made excavations in the world. The top copper mining countries are Chile, U.S.A., Peru, China, Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Canada and Zambia. Copper is found in many other countries as well, it's a pretty extensive list. Trace amounts of copper can be found in our blood - it is an essential enzyme that helps the central nervous poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Copper is found in what type of rock?
Copper is commonly found in igneous and sedimentary rocks, typically associated with areas of volcanic activity or hydrothermal deposits. It can also be found in some metamorphic rocks that have undergone mineral alterations.
In what form is copper found in nature?
Copper is commonly found in nature in the form of sulfide ores, such as chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. It can also be found in the form of oxides, carbonates, and native copper, which occurs as pure copper metal in its natural state.
How is copper found in nature?
Copper is usually found in nature in association with sulfur. Pure copper metal is generally produced from a multistage process, beginning with the mining and concentrating of low-grade ores containing copper sulfide minerals, and followed by smelting and electrolytic refining to produce a pure copper cathode. An increasing share of copper is produced from acid leaching of oxidized ores. Nearly as much copper is recovered from recycled material as is derived from newly mined ore.

How is co found in nature and were is it found?
Copper is found as Copper ore in rocks. Incorrect! Co is the symbol for cobalt, not copper. Copper is Cu. The greatest reserves of cobalt is found in Africa, mostly Zambia and The Congo. The form found is in various ores such as cobaltite.

Heavy metals in tea?
Manganese (not generally bad), Iron, Zinc, Copper, Lead, Arsenic; from highest to lowest concentrations generally found in teas from China & India (largest producers). Although copper is a necessary human trace element, there tends to be more than desirable in tea. The use of fungicides containing copper is often a contributing factor.
Where is copper found in central Africa?
Copper Belt
Can copper be found uncombined with other elements?
Yes, copper can be found uncombined in its pure form in nature. This is known as native copper and is commonly found in regions where copper deposits have formed, such as in certain sedimentary rocks.
What is the name of the copper compound found in malachite?
According to my chemistry book it's copper carbonate.
Why copper is usually found in nature as copper sulfide?
because copper sulphite contains the atoms of copper.
