Jiangxi Copper Corporation in the News Bloomberg - Mar 25, 2014 Jiangxi Copper is also considering selling new shares in Hong Kong, it said in a separate statement. Reuters - Mar 14, 2014. Google Map of largest copper mines in China. Copper Mining - CommodityMine. Copper. Copper is usually found in nature in association with sulfur. Pure copper metal is generally produced from a multistage process, beginning with the mining and concentrating of low-grade ores containing copper sulfide minerals, and followed by smelting and electrolytic refining to produce a pure copper cathode.
An increasing share of copper is produced from acid leaching of oxidized ores. Copper is one of the oldest metals ever used and has been one of the important materials in the development of civilization. Because of its properties, singularly or in combination, of high ductility, malleability, and thermal and electrical conductivity, and its resistance to corrosion, copper has become a major industrial metal, ranking third after iron and aluminum in terms of quantities consumed.
