It is also the oldest metal known to man and was first discovered and used about 10,000 years ago. And as alloyed in bronze (copper-tin alloy) about 3000 BC, was the first engineering material known to man.

More2020-8-25 To be more specific, let us take the example of a copper ore whose grade, or copper content, is only 1% by weight. Let us assume that the sole copper mineral species in this ore be chalcopyrite, which is one of the most popular copper minerals found in copper ores in our planet. The chemical formula of chalcopyrite is known to be CuFeS2.
