Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically contain low percentages of copper and have to be concentrated before refining (e.g., via froth flotation).

Mined from open pits, copper ore must be crushed as part of the process that occurs between extraction and production. Using today's compact mining equipment, copper ore is extracted from the mine. After the ore is crushed, it's roasted, which helps to convert sulfides to oxides. The oxides are smelted to produce matte, which then …

Pure copper metal is mostly produced from these ores by concentration, smelting, and refining. About 80% of the world's copper-from-ore is produced by concentration/smelting/ refining of sulfide ores. The other 20% is produced by heap leaching/solvent extraction/electrowinning of oxide, and chalcocite ores.
