Production trends in the top five copper-producing countries, 1950-2012. This is a list of countries by mined copper production. Copper ore can be exported to be smelted so that a nation's smelter production of copper can differ greatly from its mined production. See: List of countries by copper smelter production.
Porphyry copper deposits represent an important resource and the dominant source of copper that is mined today to satisfy global demand. [6] Via compilation of geological data, it has been found that the majority of porphyry deposits are Phanerozoic in age and were emplaced at depths of approximately 1 to 6 kilometres with vertical thicknesses on average of 2 kilometres.

Copper. face-centered cubic (fcc) (cF4) Copper is a chemical element; it has symbol Cu (from Latin cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity ...
Copper(II) ions migrate through the electrolyte to the cathode. At the cathode (reduction reaction), Cu 2+ ions are reduced in copper metal and Cu (s) plates out, but less noble constituents such as arsenic and zinc remain in solution unless a higher voltage is used. [52] The reactions involving metallic copper and Cu 2+ ions at the electrodes ...
