Copper is one of the first metals to have been shaped and put to use by mankind. Originally valued for its appearance as much as its ease of manipulation, it has become widely used in many forms of technology, including electronic products, industrial machinery and telecommunications. Copper ore is the raw form of the material, which is subsequently processed and put to a variety of uses. Chile is currently the largest supplier of copper ore in the world.
 

In ancient times, copper was primarily used as a decorative artifact. Early cultures in Italy, Peru, India and China, among others, chose to shape the metal into pendants, necklaces, earrings, combs and other jewelry, because it has an attractive appearance and is easy to shape. Later, it came to be used, in the form of bronze, to fashion weapons, such as axes, swords, spearheads and arrows. It also was used to fashion stone-working chisels and eating bowls that were much more sturdy than previous stone and clay examples.
 

Copper ore containing copper which can use natural mineral aggregate collectively, copper ore is generally copper sulphide and oxide with other mineral composition of the aggregates, and sulfuric acid reaction generates blue green copper sulfate. Copper Industrial Minerals: chalcopyrite, chalcocite, native copper, copper, cuprite, malachite. Copper containing minerals have been found there are more than 280, basically only 16. China mining is mainly chalcopyrite ( copper, iron and sulfur compounds ), followed by chalcocite and bornite.
 

Copper ore, when processed, possesses excellent alloying abilities, meaning it can be combined with other metals to form a metal alloy that incorporates some of the qualities of both combinants. Combined with zinc, it produces brass; and combined with tin, it can form bronze. A copper-nickel alloy, for instance, is often used on the hulls of ships, because it has properties that resist corrosion and help prevent the adhesion of marine fauna.
