Explain the steps that you must take place before an ore can be made into a prodoct?

Answer:

its about 5% nickel and 93% copper and 2% other
Its actually an alloy of NI, Cu etc.
pedia shows the content as 75% Cu and 25% Nickle so yes it does contain nickle,
An ore first has to be extracted from the ground. The mineral of the ore that you're looking for (for instance iron is the mineral that you want when you dig up iron ore) needs to be isolated from the parent rock and refined into the raw mineral product that you want to get. Washing the dirt off of the iron. This can be mechanical, chemical, thermal (smelting) or a combination of processes. The final concentration/purity of your mineral product is a combination of feasibility (is it realistic), capability (can I actually do it), and how much money you're willing to spend to get what you (or your customer) wants. The mineral product that you've created is then sold and transferred to the people who will actually take it and use it make whatever product it is that they sell.
