Something to note about copped is that it's commonly contained along with other metals in the same ore. It's not like iron ore or coal which are mined as single commodities.For example Olympic Dam (in SA, operated by BHP) ore contains copper, gold, silver and uranium.Rosebery mine (in Tasmania, operated by MMG) ore contains zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold. The sulfur content of this ore also has some value.Etc. So the economics of mining copper are tied to that of other minerals associated with it also.
