Copper (aka industrial grade copper) is a common and widely used metal.
Production
Mineral Deposits
Copper ore generates commonly underground. Copper ore clusters are a more rare version of the ore, which drop copper crystals when mined.
Hematite stratum have a vast amount of hematite, which can be melted into iron ingots.
Processing
Smelting
Shredding
Foundry Processing
Ore can be melted in a crucible into 2 ingots of molten copper and a stone byproduct.
Malachite can be combined with flux to produce molten copper.
Centrifuging
Copper powder is also a secondary product of the centrifuging of cobalt.
