Description: Presents the process of open-pit mining, transporting, smelting, and refining of copper. Briefly highlights the mining and transporting of copper ore to the mill. Pictures the flotation process that yields a concentrate having about 20% copper and the smelting of the ore in the reverbatory furnace with further fefining in the converter that produces casts of the 99% pure blister copper. Emphasizes the great amounts of ore needed to produce a given amount of pure copper., Presents the process of open-pit mining, transporting, smelting, and refining of copper.
