· Copper Ore Processing Methods. The four major steps in the production of marketable copper are mining, concentrating, smelting, and refining. In a few instances, however, leaching takes the place of concentrating, smelting, and refining. At present, although considerable leaching and direct-smelting ores are produced, the bulk of the copper ore
The gradual fall of ore grades (which is the quality of copper in the rock) also leads to a greater use of water to extract copper. As such, water consumption is expected to increase % per year towards the year 2022. To learn more
The gradual fall of ore grades (which is the quality of copper in the rock) also leads to a greater use of water to extract copper. As such, water consumption is expected to increase % per year towards the year 2022. To learn more about mining investment opportunities in Chile, take a look at the following article. Source: AFP

· HOT Chili says it has accepted an offer from a Chilean government agency allowing the latter to mine ore delineated by the ASX-listed company at its Productora project in return for potential payments of US$400,000-500,000 per annum at current copper price levels.
· The copper-molybdenum ore concentration performance data, for the option of applying the developed flow sheet and procedure of recirculating water supply (presented in Table 4), is evidence that while maintaining the level of copper and molybdenum recovery, the grade of the copper and molybdenum concentrates is markedly increased (by % and %,
· Copper Mountain Mining has released a new technical report for its open-pit Copper Mountain mine in southern British Columbia. The report includes a new life-of-mine plan and a proposed mill expansion to 65,000 tonnes of ore per day, which would boost the mine's estimated net present value to just over US$1 billion.
· While Chile is one of the richest sources of copper in the world, the mining industry has exploited copper deposits to the point where the grade or quality of the copper ore is declining. Codelco, the national copper miner of Chile and the world's largest producer of copper, plans to spend $32B by 2022 to extend the life of its current mines and maintain its
Proposed changes to Chile's mining royalty regime will not have a drastic impact on the country's production landscape in the near-term. However, analysis from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk company (Nasdaq:VRSK), indicates there is clear risk the amendments could compromise continued appetite to make large-scale, long-term
