Ore/Gangue Minerals Native copper makes up over 99 percent of all metallic minerals mined on the Keweenaw Peninsula, making it the largest accumulation of native copper on Earth (Bornhorst and Lankton, 2006). Other metallic minerals include silver, which make up only about 0.1 percent of copper production.

Bornite: Mineral information, data and localities.

An important copper ore, typically found as massive or disseminated metallic grains and patches in sulphide ore deposits; relatively rare as good euhedral crystals. It has a copper-reddish colour on fresh exposures which quickly tarnishes to a pinkish grey, through to an iridescent purple, crimson or blue and eventually black, after exposure to air and moisture, due to formation of …
