how do you mine copper in the artic Tundra. Can you say this in a simple way? i found something on Wikipedia but it was too complicated.
Copper is usually mined as a sulfide ore (chalcopyrite, chalcosite) and other associated sulfide minerals such as pyrite, pyrrhitite and magnetite. It is usually mined in the same way as anything else. Mostly pit or underground. Pit mining is basically a big hole in the ground where is underground is tunnels through the ore.
you take it from the ground by open pit mining
You would mine it the same way that you do anywhere. You first have to find an area where there is a high concentration of native copper or copper ores. You extract it from the ground and process it.
