Sources of ore fluid components in IOCG deposits
Many diverse hydrothermal copper deposits containing iron oxides are classified as IOCG deposits Genetic models need to consider a number of different ore fluid components that may not all have the same source in an individual ore system and also that economic IOCG deposits may include examples in which key components (especially copper) had different sources

Copper ore
Copper ore is an ore which can be smelted in a furnace along with a piece of tin ore to create a bronze bar Copper ore along with tin ore are the first ores a player can mine using the Mining skill and has no requirements to mine Mining one copper ore grants 17 5 Mining experience After being mined a copper rock takes approximately 2 seconds to respawn

Copper Mining and Processing: Processing of Copper Ores
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99 99% pure copper called cathodes which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use The most common types of ore copper oxide and copper sulfide undergo two different processes hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy respectively

Geology of Copper
To understand how copper is formed it helps to look at how porphyry deposits—the largest current sources of copper ore—form The orebodies form in hydrothermal veins that are born in underground magma chambers far below the deposit itself The high temperatures of volcanic magma creates hydrothermal veins allowing some of the heat to

Thermal conductivity is how quickly heat moves through the element as a medium You would want low conductivity when insulating your base but high conductivity when transferring heat to be deleted Heat capacity is how much energy is required to raise the temperature of the element by 1 degree Some elements like water need lots of energy to be heated others like metals

Copper (Cu)
Copper in air will remain there for an eminent period of time before it settles when it starts to rain It will then end up mainly in soils As a result soils may also contain large quantities of copper after copper from the air has settled Copper can be released into the environment by both natural sources and human activities
