Copper extraction from primary copper sulfide ore from a typical porphyry copper deposit from Antofagasta, Chile, was investigated after leaching with a chlorideferrous media at two temperatures. The study focused on whether this chemical leaching system could be applied at an industrial scale. Leaching tests were conducted in columns loaded with approximately 50 kg of agglomerated ore; the ...

The copper deposits are hosted in submarine basalts of the Oman Ophiolite, a sheet of Cretaceous Tethyan seafloor that was thrust over basement rocks of the Arabian Shield. These VMS deposits are typical Cyprustype and occur in clusters with pyritic copperrich mounds with gold bearing gossans overlying lower grade feeder systems within the footwall basalts.

PRIMARY EXPRESSIONS OF ORE DEPOSITS A well known aspect of ore deposit expression is the association of particular ore types with particular host rock assemblages,, the orehost rock association (, Stanton, 1972). This association broadly reflects the geological environment and processes that have formed the ore.

Copper ores. An ore is a rock containing enough valuable mineral to make it worth extracting. In the case of copper, it is worth extracting when there is about 2 kg of copper per 1,000 kg of ore (%). Copper minerals are found in over one hundred varieties, although only a few have been worked for copper on a large scale.
