Most of the copper ore produced in Australia comes from underground mines. At some Australian mines, the copper is leached from the ore to produce a copper-rich solution that is later treated to recover the copper metal. The traditional method used at most mines involves the ore being broken and brought to the surface for crushing. The ore is then ground finely before the copper-bearing ...
