Sediment-hosted stratabound copper deposits in Kazakhstan (sandstone-type) and Poland (Kupferschiefer ["copper schist"] or reduced facies-type) supply most of the remaining rhenium produced by mining. Small amounts of rhenium are recovered by processing roll-front-type sandstone uranium ores in Kazakhstan and elsewhere.

The bulk copper–lead flotation with depression of zinc followed by copper–lead separation and re-flotation of zinc is the most common practice in the treatment of copper–lead–zinc ores. About 90% of operating plants use this method. The bulk concentrate is usually contaminated with pyrite and zinc.
of high-grade ore and can be acquired at a cost of $10 per ton of ore (cost of mining ore at site). A sodium cyanide process is used to extract the gold from the ore, and various other processing techniques are used to produce 99.9% pure gold bullion from the ore. The results of the feasibility study show that the ore can be processed by agitation
Complex ores are also the source of byproduct metals such as bismuth, antimony, silver, copper, and gold. The most common lead-ore mineral is galena, or lead sulfide (PbS). Another ore mineral in which lead is found combined with sulfur is anglesite or lead sulfate (PbSO4). Cerussite (PbCO3) is a mineral that is a carbonate of lead. All three ...
Some vat leaching continues to this day, especially in the copper industry, where such plants as Mantos Blancos in Chile continue to operate. The method used is the same as was first introduced in 1927 on nitrates, with ore loaded into the vats for batch leaching, then discharged by gantry-mounted clamshells.

The concentrates produced at the Canatuan mine are shipped to a
Separation of special copper ores such as those containing molybdenite or with high zinc or lead content (Canada) is also possible by flotation methods. Flotation of non-sulfide copper minerals is rare because these ores are mostly subjected to hydrometallurgical copper recovery, for example, heap leaching.
The design of a sensor-based ore sorter must accommodate for the realities in mineral processing plants, and high availability is a necessity. This is not always a given, as the developments in sensor-based sorting technology nowadays are largely transferred from neighboring and much bigger markets such as food processing and recycling.
