In refining copper, the metal is melted down in a reverberatory furnace in a more or less oxidizing atmosphere and then further subjected to an oxidizing smelting in order to eliminate the common impurities, most of which have a stronger affinity for oxygen than has copper.In these operations some of the copper is oxidized to cuprous oxide and dissolved by the metal bath.

Holes are drilled in the ground (if it's an open-pit mine) or in the rock-face (if it's an underground mine), and explosives are placed in them to blast it open. The resulting explosions leave huge quantities of copper-bearing rock ...
